Amazon raises its minimum wage to $15 an hour

[Hethatbeking]

If your young and single it's a decent gig. Just put in a few years. Although it seems to get worse every year at ups.

I’m sorry for you guys.
But you know how it is... stay there and pay to play. That’s sadly how it works. Tons and tons of places that are much better places to live and work.

California is a doubled edged sword.

If I don't buy a big house where am I going to keep my boat , waverunner and dirtbikes?

Ahhh!! The ol’ Ups driver toys that get used a couple times a year. Got damn murika!!!!! We stuntin!!!

 

[Hethatbeking]

Exactly. On top of that, for a lot of people, especially younger people. It’s not all about the money any more. They didn’t fall for the “master plan” that runs USA now and days

Whose more successful?

1. The guy making 95k who has a new house and new car....who doesn’t get to see his family as much as he wants.... works in a hostile environment
2. The guy who makes 60k a year, has a older house with character and older car. Gets to spend time with his family.... works in a great environment

You guys seem to think that money and things some how = success. Sheep.

House? Whose got a house? Cali dream are so rich these days.

You're so good at this part time trolling. It amazes me how many take you seriously.

PT workers are the worst thing that ever happened at UPS.
PT workers have weakened the Union.

I'm sure they're quite nice, but I already paid $8k for a pair I only get to see if I'm
taking a piss when she happens to get out of the shower...I'm done paying to see 'em...

I have to say it was $8k well spent. Definitely built for speed not comfort.

They also load package cars like crap!

And smell!

I proposed this contract that we could whip them twice a week to help keep driver moral up.

They all have the toughest pull in the building too!

Imagine making the equivalent of 20hr + starting, and having health insurance after you make seniority working part time. Well that’s what part time work was in the 90s at ups. Anybody who thinks it’s a good gig now is stupid. Driving is in the same league and getting worse.

People would take the job seriously and actually show up if that was the case.

 

[DriveInDriveOut]

Yet you've been at UPS for 20 years.....
Mkay.

Way less than buddy. But you sure do know it all

Lol, ok buddy.
I guess in addition to being a crying snowflake you're also a liar. Sad.

I been at ups for almost 20 years.

Liar...troll... a dash of both.... but stay triggered

I feel real bad about lying on a internet forum. By the way, I really am down thousands in crytpo. My wife left me and took the dog. I have to sell my side car to give her alimony. But at least my new girlfriend son and daughter respect me. Thank god for our healthcare and the benzos they prescribe me, otherwise I would be a wreck.

I wish it was only 5 years in our building!!

Ya it's like dreaming of winning the lottery. The 22.3 positions are definitely the most valuable and coveted at UPS. You can become a driver within a couple years st some hubs, but 22.3 you are looking at 10 years minimum

much rather be PT again and I know many people who feel the same way once they went FT. I've seen plenty forfeit their 30 days and go back PT.

It took me 10.5 to get offered FT driving last year. 22.3 is minimum 15 years here.
And the sad thing is, in only one year, the last guys they made FT about 4 months ago had 6 years. There's a handful of cover drivers left but they're going to be hiring FT off the street soon because no one wants the job anymore.

I remember when amazon was just a rainforest

...and they got in the business of selling books

UPS would love to save money and compensate its part timers the same amount as Amazon.

Comparatively driver is probably the easiest position to get aside from the package handler of course.
