[QUOTE="toonertoo, post: 284342, member: 1944"] 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. I would not say I am pro UPS although I love the money, and the chance to work basically alone, meet people and get exercise. I know UPS is a great company, and feel lucky to have gotten on as a driver, especially since women are still in the minority here. But it wasn't given to me, I paid my dues to get here. And you will not find one person I work with that will tell you I get breaks as a minority, nor do I want them. The people who may say I dont do my job are only the ones who use those so well loved ORs to judge by, That is what I hate at UPS currently. I also hate the hours, not the number of them, but the fact that we start so late, there is no day left, when you work 10 or 11. And that no one is concerned with the customer side, only the numbers. I have gotten info on filing grievances, how to get FMLA, and what to do when I just plain felt I was being abused. And I got info from drivers, loaders, stewards, and management people who were fair and concise to both sides. I also got support from every one when I had serious health issues going on in my life, support I could not get from my "home" since I wasnt there. With our staggered start times, we dont get a chance to bond the way we used to, so this is where I bond. I have always felt I could rant and rave with no repercussion as the truth stands tall. To me it isnt a place so much to talk about UPS, as it is a place to talk to other upser's, who we all know are some of the best people we will ever meet, or chat with. [/QUOTE]
