Has working at UPS made you depressed?

[olroadbeech]

Working for Ups had made me depressed in the fact that I see how unbelievably lazy the general population has become. They depend on online shopping for the most ridiculous stuff and it gets worse by the day. Then as I am delivering some hags box of dog food she has the nerve to ask me to bring it inside for her! I have several customers who order dog food and furniture and expect me to bring it inside. I drop the boxes as flat as possible and and far away as possible to make them pick up their own crap and put in a little bit of work. When they start barking at me to help them I just ignore them and keep walking away. I feel like an ass most of the time but I can't help but feel hate for these lazy people who can't even drive to a store anymore to get basic stuff.

I used to think the access point program was stupid and we should give our customers the 3 attempts, but now I absolutely love it. When I access point 5 amazon boxes to some apartment, it makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside because now they lazy prick has to drive to the access point which most of the time is farther away than a store they could get their crap at. I try to access point as much amazon junk as possible!

I used to love my job, but now I just feel like an aid in the further laziness of this country. It makes me so mad when I deliver to a house that already has 5-6 boxes from fedex or the post office sitting their and I am bringing 5 more amazon boxes. I don't even know where these people find the time to shop online that much!

So yeah I ultimately hope that amazon takes over the entire world and people have to pay extremely high prices for stuff. It would poetic justice to see that people's laziness caused them to be broke in the future all because they couldn't make the 5 minute drive to the store to get their dog food, paper towels, and toilet paper.

And I swear of I hear one more stupid ass person say us delivering 80% amazon boxes is "job security" I will rip out their ing throat and shove it up their fat ing ass!

End rant. Still depressed.

simple.....people are willing to pay for convenience.

I've found that going into work and punching in with less than 5 minutes to start time helps.

5 minutes? i'm at about 1 minute before start time everyday. I don't even look at the truck before start time. If needed: DR bags, gas card, 2 wheeler, missing keys, or any other random need is done on their time.

With the new login you need to be there at least 2 minutes early

We should get paid for that

How many of you want to get out as soon as you hit your 30 years?

17 years now and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, Unfortunately I’m in the sewers And it’s coming from a man hole cover.

From your fellow coworkers grim faces every morning to the managements fake Crocodile smiles it takes a toll on you.

I’m praying for a 22.3 job. Being a driver in Los Angeles is whole deferent battle I won’t get into.

Teamsters are like the guy who pushes you off the ledge then grabs you claiming to have saved your life.

You would not get the pay and benefits your are receiving if this was not a union shop.

I worked in various automotive/truck repair shops for quite a few years before landing at UPS, even with a skill that’s in demand the pay and benefits were far better in a union shop like UPS.

It's better for the full-timers
But the gap between full time and part timers has increased a lot.

Great detail. Had some good laughs on that one. If people only knew.

Just more BS

Yeah. I was late twice last week because it took so long to have three bad logins and do it the old way.


In my opinion it should clock in quickly the old way and then do the extra stuff if you want that

Hopefully you went into the office and asked them to fix your timecard

I am no longer at UPS but there are many other unions that handle business considerably better than the Teamsters.

I have 30 years plus driving and I used to be one of those that would raise hell with the dispatcher about my dispatch if i were too heavy and be in a foul mood all day.I'd send messages in bitching about the load,stop count etc and pretty much hated life

About 10 years ago i simply quit giving a crap as management gives ZERO cares about us. . Load me down? Pay Me. Stupid Dispatch? Pay Me. I go over 9.5 Three days in a week? Pay Me. I make them come to me now to fix any problems . They don't know how to manage someone who isn't mad,upset or unhappy and it works FAR better for me than complaining ever did.

I like my job as all i do is ride in the country. I make decent coin and stay in fairly good shape. I became FAR happier when i learned to make it worse on them

Think about all the people that would kill to make what we make. Sure it’s hard work, but I’ll take this over 90% of the jobs out there paying 30-40k a year with 400$ monthly premiums. I’ve been there
