Not when the narratives have changed. Who cares what they did 30 years ago? It’s doesn’t matter - it’s a whole new UPS they don’t know
about.

In addition, who spends 30 years bitching about a job, retire , only to come to some forum to bitch about it?
That last switch from delivering boxes to drilling for oil was a doozy.Not when the narratives have changed. Who cares what they did 30 years ago? It’s doesn’t matter - it’s a whole new UPS they don’t know
Not many people know UPS is the third largest natural gas provider in the country.

I work for teamsters, UPS contracted me
The narrative hasn't changed. You still drive, pick up a box, walk, drop off a box. The only thing that's changed is technology. Technology hasn't changed driving in 8 inches of snow, 2 inches of ice and every other thing you see on the road. These people did this for at least 30 years. Almost longer than you've been alive, assuming 1987 is your birth year. They have far more wisdom about conditions of the road, making smart decisions than you and I and deserve some respect.Not when the narratives have changed. Who cares what they did 30 years ago?

Last I checked this is a forum for union members. Shouldn't matter if you're retired, or still working. They earned the right to sit at home and check out what's going on a career that they've known for a huge chunk of their adult life. If they want to bitch, they earned it

Nope, we got scanners that take care of the problem. Paperwork flows every day, no reason not too.
Essential personal my ass...I will leave it at that.
Can I have a personal day tomorrow, since I'm not essential?

Personnel: people employed in an organization or engaged in an organized undertaking such as military service
Personal: affecting, or belonging to a particular person rather than to anyone else.
Yep you can fire anyone. It's obvious you're a person that pays attention to detail.

It’s because they know millenials are spineless little wimps who are afraid to ask for more ketchup packets, let alone miss work

i agree with everything you just stated except for turning my phone on airplane mode. why should i limit my phones ability to avoid their call? it's just as easy to ignore them if they do decide to call or text. if i call an hour prior to work and they say anything besides "ok thanks for telling me", i'm gonna just hold the phone in silence until they hang up.

AND THAT’S THE BOTTOM LINE
Airplane mode is a godsend for me. I like to unplug as much as I can on my days off....leave me alone!!!
