Not the only one in my center. I talked to many drivers who plan on leaving soon too. One of my on-road sups just quit during peak season to work for another company, and another sup left a few months back. My manager went on vacation and just decided to quit just this past year. Seems like it's not for everyone.

A few millennials are quitting in our center, this will be a problem for the company going forward, retaining the younger generation.

Same at our place.

i do have something lined up with equal and possibly greater (current) pay, and have been thinking about leaving for at least 10 months.

Quitting UPS isn't an automatic ticket to a lifetime of low paid work and poverty for everybody. Good for anyone who can get out and move on to a happier and healthier life.

Interesting! Old timers also tell me they wouldn’t last if they were just starting their UPS careers under current conditions.

How much longer until you make top rate?

You are going to walk away from an $11-12/hr pay raise???

Who cares? The job ing sucks. Why be miserable?

Why do people insist the only alternative to UPS is a minimum wage fast food job? Lots of people have the skills or qualifications to make a much better living elsewhere, even if the earnings potential is slightly less.

I wish you the best, man. I will be joining you soon.

I wouldn't qualify.

I rarely make bonus, laugh at Orion, and my recitation abilities suck.

To answer the original question...

I don't believe vacation hours are officially earned until you have worked X number of hours in the year.

I was paid out for sick and vacation when I quit. I had to hunt it down though.

 

[Atemoe]

I agree with walking away. I did the same 4 years ago and haven't looked back since. I entered into a much better career and make better money with better benefits and retirement than I ever could have at UPS. I knew I needed more for myself and family. I do not miss the body pains or the stress. I don't miss the alley ways to park in or trying to get back at a decent time. I do miss some of the co workers and customers but that's it.

Vacations are based on reports, not hours.

Your's?

Currently I could go to an insurance company, dealership, or trucking company to work as an appraiser or service writer or even a tech.

Alternatively, I've learned a lot about myself the past few years and what I probably should've done from the beginning. I've saved enough money that I can prepare myself to work in a secure, in-demand field with a very bright future and intend to take full advantage.

From the previous year.

That avatar is Gilligan's Island?

If it is, they should have just swam to the bridge.

I do wish you well in your future endeavors, even though I personally think you are making a huge mistake.

I never would have left UPS.

But if I could have stayed, I'd be a miserable SOB wit my third wife by now. In fact I know several drivers around here like that.

It's a stale joke, nothing more.
Kind of like when when you walk into a business, covered in snow, and they say "is it cold enough for you".

I choose to believe this, rather than consider it an effort to be a complete dick.
