Buyouts are taking place in 3 waves. And there are other components to their plan. The goal is $3.8Billion in profit by 2016 so why the expectation for instant results? Not defending what they're doing but let's not panic people. Last year layoffs and 5 hr splits and 3 day freight being shifted to Ground were all supposed to have happened by now if you believe everything written here. I've no doubt changes are coming, are already happening, and they aren't in our best interest. Where I'm at the route goals can't be met without working on my break. If I do that I'm pretty much giving back at least 5 years worth of raises. We need to stand up for ourselves but let's stick to what's actually happening, not conjecture.

They should of gave us hourlies a chance to take a buyout, but they know most of us would of taken it with how bad its become. They really do hate us. People don't know how it is until it happens to them. Say you invest 5 to 20 years at Ups just to have them 180 on you. Thats time you don't get back. I also wish I could get my fresh joints and a less damaged body back. Yea its a time to jump ship but the process is never easy.

Exactly, it truly is a sight coming into work these days.

That's what the UPS'ers and Ground people don't understand...the 180 part. Express completely reversed itself in terms of it's treatment of employees, and then everyone wonders why we are pissed. One day we're gold, and the next day we're crap. If the same thing happened at UPS, it would be huge. But, they have a union, and it would never happen.
yeah but, you guys deserved it.

Even those poor littl Ground drivers you guys pretend to care about?! Shocking, just shocking.

you want us to feel sorry for you when you are claiming that you are making six figures?
Of course not. I want you to admit once and for all that you never really gave a damn about Episode7, Home Delivery, Code82, or any other Ground driver that ever showed up here. Sure you cheered about whatever bitch against Ground they may have had, but really, they deserved it, right? They really are the red headed bastard step children of the company. Right?

Oh now you want to pretend to care for the very drivers that you exploit to generate your six figure income. You are classic bro. You don't know me from Adam and sure as hell don't know who and what I care about. You can try to justify it to yourself and your family but you are just like the farmer sitting in his mansion while the immigrants labor away to just put food on the table and a roof over their head.

wrong. I don't care. It's a job. People are free to take it or leave it.
...and they make the Express jags look bad.
Different job so can't really make us look bad.
You're courier wannabes. It's a territorial thing.
