[QUOTE="NHDRVR, post: 603639, member: 10327"] When I hear that someone is quitting UPS to do something/anything else I am at first, jealous, and second, really jealous. This wasn't the case around 10 years ago. 2 fellow drivers that I was very good friends with both went on comp. about 3 months apart. One was a back injury, the other was cancer. (both are doing fine now) The first reaction we all have when we think of not getting the paycheck/insurance is 'What am I going to do about my family?'... It's worse for those of us (me) that started with UPS at a young age (right out of college) and didn't have the experience of switching jobs or being laid off or needing to move, you get my point... So, these 2 guys, one with a family and the other single, both said the exact same thing when they realized they wouldn't be coming back to UPS. It's only a job. Not a lifestyle, not a culture, not a religion. When they were removed from the daily grind at our center long enough they both remembered what a 'normal' job is. Scott worked for a friend when his back got better and his comp. was straightened out and Sean moved out west for a change of scenery. Both said it was the best thing that ever happened to them. So, good luck and enjoy the fact that you don't have this driving gig being held over your head. [/QUOTE]
