[QUOTE="Lineandinitial, post: 1119264, member: 29428"] It's sad when I recall the circumstances under which I came to UPS. I was asked to and told that I would never regret my decision. This was 26 years ago. This year I hit 130% of my band and got a zero pay increase. 26 years of meaningful work that no one else was skilled or motivated enough to do. Long story with lots of details, but I have made back my 26 years' salary at least 30 times. The leadership positions are less and less every year and so there is no upward mobility. 50 hour weeks and occasional weekends and if the daily results aren't acceptable, my "leadership" looks to us "mid-managers" and below for answers. The fact there is no real direction or care about morale is beyond their comprehension. I am no longer proud to be a UPS "partner". My "partner" is screwing me and if I don't like it I can find another job. So, back to 1987 when I was asked to leave my job and come to UPS to help start the airline. I believed everything I was told and never asked what was in it for me because i felt certain the "partnership" would treat me fairly. In retrospect, I am happy that I came to UPS, but I should have left when we went public. It has been all downhill for most of us, but a few at the top and towards the top. As soon as United Way or UPSPAC or another tax cut in sheep's clothing comes around, I will participate as always and do my job. My heart hasn't been in it for a long time, nor any other manager that I know, but who cares...if we don't like it, we can hit the door. I am certain that UPS will become a classic case study in Business Ethics someday. They are no better than any other business that rewards the few at the sake of the many. [/QUOTE]
