Don’t work too hard

[Feduppreloader]

I guy on preload, whose been there there for like 12 years I think, told a new hire today that “working as hard as you can is one of the biggest mistakes you can can make here.”
What do you think he meant by this?

Old guy is right

 

[Elmo.goes.to.prom]

It means the harder you work the more work they will give you.

Ups logic
You’re good at your job? Here’s more work
Quite common sense

It's not a sprint, its a marathon. He is trying to speak wisdom and teach you that working harder than you should will result in more work and a bad back or knees.

capitalism 101 says you are paid by the hour and if you dont think you will be rewarded for your work ethic then just do bare minimum to keep your job!

My take on this:

I have heard a UPS management person say to a young and upcoming part-time sup say “ If you don’t plan on riding the backs of your good employees then you will not make it here”

This was in response to rewarding his productive workers with the easier jobs such as helping smalls, gathering missorts.

Needless to say he left the company.

and UPS still uses up good employees by rewarding them with more work and the crap employees get moved to smalls to sort envelopes.

The work grinds you down good but does not really build you back up. If you want some improvement, slow progress through work efficiencies and the gym are the way to go.

I heard it phrased a little differently.
"The more you do, the more they'll make you do."

But it comes out to the same thing.

If you give them everything you have, they'll ask for that plus 5% more, the next day.

You will never do "enough".

Work hard, but make sure you are being fair to yourself, as well.

I thought he fell asleep after saying it the first time, woke up and repeated it.

Everyone expects heroes to save the day in all walks of life.
UPS is no different.
When things are going bad,
Super-So and So will save the day!
"Look at that poor bastard, looks like he'll be out there close to 14 hours"

Take your lunch and paid breaks!!!!!!!!

Take your lunch and paid breaks!!!!!!!!

And take your lunch at lunch time, not after work. I've never understood why so many drivers do this. You can bet your that your center manager doesn't take lunch at 8pm.

Our center manager disappears to the local Applebee's around 12:30.....and never returns.

We may have the same center manager. No joke.
