[QUOTE="Rawrzxor, post: 1304295, member: 51342"] Exactly. I'm not exactly sure how to overcome that perspective, either. It requires either the older generations way of thinking, which is probably impossible; because, I think we're correct, and this is bull:censored:. Or, it requires leaving and finding a job that we actually enjoy doing. However, that's easier said than done, since the only jobs that are really available are :censored:ty ones or ones with low pay. Or, going to school and paying ridiculous tuition costs (though, the UPS tuition reimbursement can buy you your A.S/A degree, which *is* very nice), in order to have a shaky shot at an enjoyable/decently beneficial job. Ultimately, we're pretty much :censored:ed. We are *semi-owned*, and required to serve under the 'gracious' masters whom profit endlessly due to our hard work. This may seem like hyperbole to older generations, but it really isn't. This is the kind of system that we serve under; a system which propagates poverty, hunger, and crime by use of money. If more people saw this, we could probably change something; but, alone, as individuals, the only thing we can do is stagger on. It's an endlessly depressing perspective, and, I think that's because it's the truth. Another truth is that we *are* relatively lucky, sadly, to have a job like this, with the benefits and okay pay. And that's even more depressing. Very lucky to have the union, though. Without the union, there's no way I would have applied for UPS, even though I've been hearing some lackluster things about it, recently. [/QUOTE]
