Does anybody actually enjoy working for UPS?

[over9five]

I like the active pace of the work.

I don't like the stupid.

^^^This. I like my every day job.

The stupid drives me nuts tho.

STUPID:
Being on standby 25 minutes for a door to clear.
Waiting to clean my trailer at the pallet dock cuz there are 8 cleaned trailers staged there.
Having to switch tractors 10 hours into my shift cuz some fool needs his own personal tractor.

I know some will say "You're getting paid, arent ya?". But like I said, it's the stupidity I don't like.

 

[AwashBwashCwash]

Absolutely hate it.
The main thing I do while I'm at work is mentally calculate how many more days I have to work before I can quit.

UPS used to be a different company. Most may not have loved working but liked it or at least didn't mind working.

i agree.
i recall getting gas cards or the whole area going out to eat at a nice restaurant for doing a good job. getting pizza or wings every friday. a turkey for thanksgiving and christmas. free ups tshirts and other apparel. UPS had you feeling like they appreciated you and your hard work.

Never ask a route groupie out on a date. Then every time you cover the route she will be looking for you and a confrontation. Trust me

i'd love to hear the details of that story lol

You can probably find a cheap fixer-upper in Minneapolis....

Hmm maybe this is a ploy to create a temp depressed real estate market. Your spot on..... lol

Had to cover for a guy avoiding one. Lol

Well it's Minnesota, I'm not sure who in the right mind would actually want to live her all year round.
-60° in the winter time is a big deterrent

Vikings, Timberwolves and Prince Purple reign movie is all I knew about the state.

 

[Over70irregs]

Oh and the Twins.... sorry long ball guys...

 

[rickyb]

Seriously, how many of you wake up and say wow can’t wait to go to work today?

wow i wonder what causes people to not like their jobs???

you would think being a delivery driver wouldnt be so bad; youre alone, some music, maybe traffic sucks.

 

[PASinterference]

I dont mind the work, its the crap that management makes harder than it has to be. All the reports that are for ridiculous crap that doesn't even make a difference in our job, just something to bitch about.
What i really hate is the late start times. Our deranged center manager loves to start us late just to piss us off then go home at 1pm. Sometimes we start an hour after the preload has left. It takes a real piece of crap to do something like that. Therefore, I drag my butt all day.

 

[Poop Head]

Sometimes we start an hour after the preload has left.

Wow. Thats crazy..

 

[PASinterference]

Wow. Thats crazy..

Yeah, we got a real dud. A true piece of dog crap that wakes up pissed off at the world. I could never imagine being as misreable as our center manager. Our dm is strictly a number chaser that shows no interest in improving anything at all. Whatever, just pay me.

File and watch the $ pile.

 

[Fido]

It’s just a mental game to me. I’m not one to get stressed about work because everyday would be a show. I just go to work, do the job, and go home. Yes the hours are long right now but eventually the world will calm down. Just weird times. My customers and businesses I deliver too are always good to me, offer me water other drinks and food everyday.

 

[Over70irregs]

Drinks and food cuz they know your not going home anytime soon. Lol

 

[PizzaToUps]

I used to hate it. Nothing worse than walking into the hub with dread seeing how screwed you are with 250+ stops and knowing it’s going to be a 12+ hour day. It feels like an endless grind. All that changed after securing a 22.3 position. Love going to work now and knowing that it’s just an 8 hour day.

 

[a911scanner]

I like the 8-9 hour days...leaving before 6pm. Those are the good days. Makes it feel like a "good" job.

Unfortunately, they are so few & far between now.

 

[sandwich]

The only things I like about this job are being a steward and rolling volume.

other than that this place is satans butthole. I hate every second of it.

 

[Elmo.goes.to.prom]

I want to vomit as soon as I walk into the building.
