Has anyone heard about a Centennial event? Is UPS planning any type of event or party?
Just wondering!
Thanks!

Yes. I heard every center will get a pizza.
Here, you will get a crappy 6 foot sub.
I think UPS should really capitalize on our centennial. At least put decals on the package cars bragging we will be 100 in 2007. If so much was spent on "re-branding", I think UPS can fork out some cash for bragging rites.
We will all work a plan day of 10.5, while management gets a bonus and a day off.....CHEERS....
I would love to feel that extreme pride come back that I understand was once part of this culture.
You apparently haven't work for parcel too long, if we get a pizza I would be impressed. Hey does anybody remember when we all got those stinkin little tree's!!!!Maybe they will pull a page from the way Harley-Davidson celebrated their 100th. (That is all but the last page - the secret concert on the lake front with a headliner not suited for the crowd of bikers....Elton John.)
We could have a convoy of brown trucks start from four points in the United States and meet at one point for a big party. They could also include UPSERS from overseas !!
Perhaps we could even start our own HOG Chapter as UPS employees and show them how it is done (not the Sturgis way) but how the HD Company sponsors events. Maybe we could even get our own "PIN STOP".
Honda has types of events also - they call it the HONDA HOOT.
The entire year could be used to generate a good feeling and renew pride in our jobs.
I have read many posts on this board. It seems to me that we all understand we have good jobs but the pride is waning. The spirit is being slowly replaced with apathy because there seems to be nothing to sustain that spirit we all want to have back in our hearts.
Face it. We are like Coca-Cola and Pepsi employees.
Delivery drivers for those companies know that they work for elite brands and they laugh at other soft drink company drivers. The hardest thing for some of our local Coca-Cola drivers to do is admit how much they hate their jobs when someone says to them..."WOW, You work for Coca-Cola."
UPS and Fed Ex are the new Coke and Pepsi. I know that in some of our hearts we laugh at the BAX drivers, the DHL drivers and the Dunham drivers. We know we are one of the two elite companies making deliveries.
I would love to feel that extreme pride come back that I understand was once part of this culture.
