[QUOTE="quad decade guy, post: 4352995, member: 77939"] I get your response. Having clicked my 39th, I've seen many high's and low's. From wonder to seething hatred and anger(personally). I'm not angry anymore. Nor do I care much anymore. But you skipped over a lot in between. The culture and mutual respect between mgt. and hourly could be so much better with blame equally shared. The us vs. them has always bothered me. I've never fully understood why going into "mgt." would be such a negative move and hostile and betraying to hourly. But then, as an hourly and experiencing the mistreatment, abuse etc. you understand. I've always admired the happy go lucky souls at UPS that seem to roll along. A choice? Maybe. A very good life? Well, what does that mean? Missing your kids grow up? Having to give up all your seniority to change classifications? Not ever being able to relocate, change? Being verbally abused because of mgt.'s incompetence? Etc. Health, stress(see above) etc. On the other hand, money and health insurance and maybe a pension(we'll see). UPS has "allowed" me to do many things that most others couldn't even consider....yes, that is good. GTFO? That's it? The only way? Either or? We can't make it better? A good life? Maybe... [/QUOTE]
