[QUOTE="LarryBird, post: 4078890, member: 76548"] Yeah, I hear you. But I've actually made less the past 2 years than I did in 2016, and obviously we've made more per hour in 2017 and 2018, so UPS seems to be coming to the realization that we cannot work at these stop count levels for 50+ hours per week all year long without getting burned out and there being a noticeable increase in accidents and injuries in our building. I'm not sure what took upper management so long to recognize this [see: record profit], as I know I was asking these questions about the correlation at safety meetings and with my center manager long before this, and I'm just a dumb hourly. I don't know how it is everywhere but in my district the "UPS flavor of the month" for while now, long past the usual important today gone tomorrow, has been nobody dispatched over 9.5 if at all possible and everybody making 9.5 each day. Apparently it's very important to our new-ish DM because of safety. So UPS is hopefully finally on board with keeping us from destroying ourselves in more than word alone these days. I've been right around that 90k figure you mentioned in 2017 and last year, after making 95k in 2016, which was entirely too many hours - I was punching out at 10:30-11pm all through peak and it was ridiculous.
