Founders Day 2020

[scooby0048]

We got cupcakes and a bottle of water. I was on vacation but I went in to get six over 9/5 grievance checks. Shop Steward wasn't there with them but my Center Manager did give me something a few weeks early.

I thought you would have been ridden with guilt and retired the last time Dave told you it was time to quit and move on.


45 years, the least UPS could do is make that pin out of 18k gold but no, they are no better than those soccer pins the kids get for participating in tournys.

Our center we got a little drawstring bag with some crappy granola bar, a water, and the crumbs of Chips ahoy. Oh yeah, there were remains of cupcakes and donuts that the preload left for us after digging their grubby little dickskinners through them before we got got there.

For our Founder's Day we were told that everyone had to be off by 9.5.

Since Founders Day was yesterday, I figured I’d start a thread since nobody else has, nor did I even hear it mentioned at work. Was it recognized in any way at any of your buildings or centers?

I never figured Founders Day would ever become so irrelevant as it was this year. But at least I still took home a great paycheck and have another one coming next Friday. Still grateful to work for UPS.

We got bagels and 6 kinds of cream cheese. They really blew the bank for us but then again this is the same company that constantly steps over dimes to pick up pennies.

CEO visited Roswell. Only a select bunch of drivers were allowed in the mechanics area where they had a podium and photo ops set up.

A bunch of drivers were asked to bring their years of service in so the CEO could hand them out again with pictures. Sad part is the drivers weren’t told to come in early so they were calling out names and drivers weren’t there to receive them.

Pretty embarrassing.

I would hate to be that management team.

Yep, last message everyone got was 9am start time, the ceremony started at 7:45. One steward was wearing his teamster polo since this wasn’t paid for time and had a years of service award to be given to him. He was denied entry into the area unless he wore a UPS uniform, he declined.

lol did not even know it was yesterday.
Last year they had a rare PT pcm and even let a 30-year clerk talk on the mic.

This year they rationed exactly one cupcake to every driver. Didn't exactly think about it except the usual laughing-at drivers who stand too close to their bosses.

No acknowledgement of founder's day here whatsoever. I'm more of a giving person anyway, so I gave them a 9.5 grievance.

Dallas night sort got the drawstring bags, a bottle of UPS branded hand sanitizer, and 2 pouches of instant Gatorade mix.

More like flounder's day.

I was off on Friday, but they were prepping stuff for some sort of presentation when I left on Thursday. Shuffling PC's around to different locations and such. We had corporate wandering around on Thursday as well

 

[churn n’ burn]

There was Dunkin Donuts in the office but I only heard why from another driver.

 

[I have been lurking]

We got the draw string bag also with a Gatorade and some health bar.

Also no bag on earth could hold my acorns!

I got Frito's and Doritos instead of the queer bar

 

[Ghost in the Darkness]

Lol... over 20 years of service for me & no award... I would just settle for getting uniforms when I order them but I'm not holding my breath.

Back in the mid 80's they gave these out, on the reverse side were my initials. Anyone remember them?

 

[retired2000]

I’m sure @Maple Grove MN Driver ’s cupped hands could !

No mention of it at all this year.
Anyway I still have fond memories of the piece of aluminum they gave us one year.

I thought I had every trinket UPS passed out between 1971 and 2001 but that is a new one to me.
