[QUOTE="upsdawg, post: 134112, member: 2020"] Yo Moss-----to be 22 again!! When I started at UPS you had to be 21----I got the day off on my 21st BD and went to UPS and filled out an application and took a driving test all in the same day---in L.A.!! People thought I was crazy to leave a full time job and go to work for UPS for jst a few weeks at Xmas and get laid off (that was the way you got hired 30 years ago--if you did a good job at Xmas, you got called back the following year as oppenings occurred) I just retired from UPS---do I miss the job--no--but I miss my fellow UPSers and I miss all of the wonderful customers that I came in contact with over the years! I don't regret my decision and if I had a 22 year old son I would give the following advice------keep the job--get an education--work smarter not harder------it is a great job that you can support a family with medical benefits for you, wife, child-THERE ARE NOT VERY JOBS THAT YOU CAN DO THIS----and have your wife stay home with the kids-----look for a financially strong company who will be there in 10 years and won't go Chap 11 ---or be bought out by a larger company. If you are that serious about moving elsewhere----do it now, because companies don't normally transfer you , unless you are in a Managerial Position---than you may be transferred to somewhere youo would rather not be! Keep the job, until something better comes along----but, make sure you compare apples with apples and don't listen to the sour apples along the way! [/QUOTE]
