[QUOTE="kingOFchester, post: 1177601, member: 11246"] Couple of things. One, key words "full timer". Two, our base "salary" is more like 67,304.00. To tell people that we make 94,000 salary is not painting the whole picture. To achieve the 94k you speak of, one would have to work close to 11 hours a week in overtime, not including vacations. So at minimum one would have to work 27% more then the average joe working a 40 hour week. 27% more. And that is not including our down time for lunch that adds another hour to our day. My professional friends work 40 hours and that is including their lunch!! For me to get to 94k I would have to clock in at 8am and clock out at 7pm. My friends get to work at 9 and leave at 5. That means I am tied to my job 37% more time then my friends who work 9-5. So you take my 94k and knock 37% off of that for the time I am tied to my job and that comes to 59k. 59k is what my hourly wage comes to if I could work the typical 9-5 hours. Yes, a little high, but not crazy high. Ask your friends and neighbor if they want to do what we do to get 94k a year. Working part time at ungodly hours for years on end. The working conditions. Then working in a truck during the summer that tops out at 130 degrees. Snow, rain. Boxes that weigh more then the average female. I can tell you, most of my friends and family say "you can't pay me enough to do what you did and do at UPS" to achieve the income I receive. [/QUOTE]
