[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1129772, member: 43436"] I joined UPS as a high school student in the late 1990s during the economy's historic peak. At the time, places like Kroger, Safeway, most retail stores, etc. were hiring for $10/hour to start (and nearly 15 years later hire at $7.20), and many of my high school friends were bragging about banking as much as $1,000 a week in tips serving at local trendy restaurants. For reasons that only a divine power knows, I stuck it out at UPS -- as a co-op student, I earned $12/hour; at the conclusion of the program, when I accepted permanent employment, I earned the standard $9.50/hour. Anyway, during peak my facility hired somebody I went to school with - we'll call him Al Bundy since he always brags about his HS football days. I know that Al Bundy managed a local Abercrombie & Fitch (during its heyday) when we were in high school, but I have no idea his work history since. Anyway, when Al Bundy found out I was earning $21/hour while his sorry as$ was banking only $9.50 for the same work, he was furious. He's anti-union, even though he drolls all over the FT jobs here, because he thinks he works way harder than everyone else, yet he's paid less. Al Bundy always tells me high school was a "long time ago" -- well, that's how long I've been here, and that's why I earn $21/hour dumb :censored:. [/QUOTE]
