Does your hub have a picnic for employees family in the summer?

Those days are long gone friend. Even if they do something now, no one goes. The animosity is at an all time high.

The whole thing reminds me how the old timers tell me things were before 97.

You would stop at the bar after work and your sup would buy you a beer and not a freaking word was said about work.

It started changing a few years earlier but the biggest changes were definitely post '97

The bars are all closed when I knock off.

When I worked nights we knew a couple of bars that opened at 6 am.

Yep, we had a dive bar down the road. The center manager would sometimes grab a bunch of us and say beers are on me. We would always joke when asked the safety question where do you assemble in an emergency. THE DIVE BAR!

Those days are long, long gone.

Yes they most certainly are.

Post 97 is when my attitude changed.
I became an even bigger prick than I was in 96

For a long time, at different times of the year, we had an annual trap-shoot, fishing tournament, golf contest, summer picnic and Christmas party. UPS or management had nothing to do with them and wasn't invited. As far as I know none of that stuff goes on today. Hell the guys (if that's what you want to call them) don't even stop for a beer anymore.

Did they have a PCM before each game to stay hydrated and to be safe?
If a PT person got hurt, did they have a steward, and a warning letter in hand for not playing safe?

I can happily report there was none of that.

As for staying hydrated, I was drinking from the water fountain on my third day at work during the operation. My FT sup informed me that water was for p*ssies.

I have had a few beers with my part time supervisor as recent as a few months ago. Good dude.

We tried to have a Christmas party one year, a huge brawl broke out ....it never happened again..

Love to hear the details. Lol. Was it union v management?

When I started on the night sort there was an hourly vs. PT sup tackle football game every Saturday morning. Game started when the beer coolers were empty.

They used to have a softball tournament when I first started. They asked if I was gonna join and I asked if I keep the bat after i hit the ball... they never asked me anymore...

Hey hey hey... all of ups is safe by choice, not by chance. Ok. We don’t take our safety as a joke. Don’t forget that.

Ok? Cause we’d really hate for you to get hurt. Alright? Ok. Now let’s stretch those muscles!!

 

[DOK]

It's too bad. Every company in America has a Christmas party or something for their employees and family. Not UPS tho...

We used to, many moons ago, I’m talking ‘80’s.

The last people I want to see on my day off are the people I work with !
