[QUOTE="dudebro, post: 2377912, member: 11234"] OK, here's where we differ a little. The UPS corporate mission statement doesn't include this. This is what UPS corporate (more or less) says it's going to do: [LIST] [*]Grow our global business. [*]Maintain a financially strong company-with broad employee ownership-that provides a long-term competitive return to our shareowners. [*]Inspire our people and business partners to do their best.. [*]Lead by example as a company in the communities we serve. [/LIST] It doesn't say anything about the employee's well being, it leaves that up to the employees. You can call that evil, some would call it freedom. Others might have a philosophical take on a point (Isn't making sure the employees are healthy a part of #4?), but in my mind, they don't say anything. So it's on each and every one of US to take care of ourselves as well as we can. For some of you that's filing 9.5 grievances and requesting 8 hour dispatches. For others, it's getting as much OT (or MIP) as possible to feed our family. But the company is telling you up front that THEY are NOT DOING IT. So you know this going in. Every day you wake up and make a business decision to rent your body and mind to the company for whatever the agreed upon wage is. If you think that is going to kill you, then either participate in the contract talks in 2018, sit down with your manager, or find another line of work / start your own business. That's on YOU.
