Just out of curiosity, I am wondering if this website is run by UPS management. I noticed that the majority of the moderators are ex management and or so pro UPS it just makes me wonder. Just out of curiosity.

Moderators? five drivers , one preloader and two ex management.

I could make the argument this site is overall very anti-ups. while the contract passed overwhelmingly nationwide; it failed in polls here by a two to one margin.

Tieguy got the makeup on Moderators right. Toonertoo, DS, Satellitedriver, and myself are currently Package Car Drivers. Aspenleaf is a Preloader who has finished her nursing degree and will soon move on to another career. We all here wish her the best of luck. Cachsux is our token Feeder Driver, great guy. Tonyexpress and Channahon are retired management. Cheryl, the Administrator and Owner, grew up with UPS since her father and husband were both career UPSers. This website is a private website and is not run by UPS.
As far as being very anti-ups? I will disagree somewhat on that. We do have some who seem to hate the company and are very vocal about it. Why they don't quit and find a career that will make them happier, I don't know. A lot of us do come on here and gripe about stuff, myself included. I think a lot of it is we come home from work and are just letting off a little steam from the workplace. I know my wife has no idea what I go through everyday, no matter what I tell her. I also don't fully appreciate what she goes through too as a substitute teacher. I think we all come on here to communicate with fellow workers who share the same experiences we do. You can also get some good advice and the latest news with what is going on with this company. With that being said, you also need to weed out the bad advice that people offer too.
Ditto, I first came on here to get information from the well honed upsers, and at the beginning when I came on it was much smaller than now.To me the website is on a bell curve of extreme haters on one end and extreme lovers on the other with the majority of us in the middle. I myself am not a hater of the company,I am more of someone who has dissent in the new policies created by the inexperienced.
Scratch and 804hammer:
The posters are not anti-UPS. These guys care very deeply. Their hearts are only broken from caring so much. So many of these people have literally put their blood, sweat and tears into this company- and they are proud of what they do. Most just wish that the obstacles were removed from their daily work so that these individuals could work smoother.
Now, I AM a supervisor. It is a good bet that I will never get to fulltime, but I tell you this: My first requirement of my subordinates -IF I was ever to be a fulltime supe- my first requirement would be for my parttime supes to visit this site weekly. We cannot change all the things you folks kvetch about, but we need to hear this. badly

A few of you seem to be taking my "anti-UPS" comment entirely out of context. Tie used it originally in what I thought was a reference to the recent contract discussions in the Labor Forum, and I was trying to politely disagree with him stating that this was an "anti-UPS" website. I think that a majority of people here do like their jobs, we just don't like certain things about it that need to be improved.
my point was made more to counter hogs original point that he thought this site was overwhelmingly management or pro company. I pointed out that I could make the argument that this site was anti ups without actually making that argument.
in any case this site is far from being a management run site.
I don`t know of any job that people like every day. Even the guy who takes photos at Playboy gets tired of looking at fake boobs once and awhile.
