[QUOTE="ups_vette, post: 303098, member: 2125"] For me, reading Brown Cafe is like a drive down Memory Lane. What I mean by that is I hear the same complaints today on this boardthat some of the drivers I drove alongside in the '60s were complaining about. Don't trust management, I have too much work, I have to skip my lunch, management doesn't care about safety, all management are idiots, all "they" care about is their numbers, Of the 30 some drivers I drove with before I went into supervision (1969), one passed away from cancer, two were killed in auto accidents (NON UPS), and the remaining are now living a nice life in retirement. Before any of you say the job is a lot harder now, the job was never easy, nor should it be for the wages a driver earns. Drivers covered much larger areas, so a driver drove more miles, with fewer stops than the driver of today. The more miles you drive, the fewer stops you can do. Todays drivers don't know of the joy of recording every stop on a Delivery Record, especially when it's raining or snowing. I don't come here everyday like a few do, but when I do log on, I find MOST of the threads interesting, newsworthy, and some amusing. I also find a few posters with a great sense of humor. What I find most astonishing is the ego that a few posters exibit. Everyone has an ego, but the few posters on here who never admit they may be wrong is beyond belief Another interesting thing I find is how many experts on the Contract there are on here. The most used phrase I see is "file a grievence", even though they only hear one side of the situation. Do you truly believe the one posting the situation is not just a little biased, and without hearing management's side, immediately condem management as wrong? Otherwise, Life Is Good. [/QUOTE]
