Is UPS hurting

[Brownslave688]

I feel bad for my bosses. They have a plan and are not being allowed to execute it. I also heard that PT supes can only work 27.5 hours a week and the PT supes all had today off.

Monday my dispatcher wanted to cut routes and was told no by my center manager. “Run them all” most guys back under 8.


Now we can’t spray paint a wheel on the package car because it costs too much. Smdh

30% higher volume at my building compared to last year.

I was lowest driver last year (Hired in October) and I did bulk and worked as a helper then 5-6 bulk pickups and worked local sort 12-13 hour days early Nov through mid Jan.

This year there’s 1 qualified and 2 or 3 that were part way through their 30 before peak PLUS at least 10 seasonals below us.

Just over 9.5hrs today.

I’m doing my part to help out, I’ve cut down my use of driver release bags this year.

They do not feel bad for us, why should we feel bad for them?

Our PT sups are only allowed 27.5 too. But let's be honest PT sups are generally just in the way.

Why feel “sorry” for them... they all chose that path and knew what they were getting into....live by the stupidly, die by the stupidly

I mean only ups could decide peak week is a good time to squeeze costs.

Gotta make those stockholders happy....

Its not as great as is was in the beginning now that a lot of places are adding sales taxes. Low prices, no sales tax and free shipping was great while it lasted

Doesn’t seem to matter much to most.

I think it’s as great as it was. There’s just a broader spectrum of delivery services for stuff now.

My sources are saying 20 to 25% of Union Employees will be laid off in January.
UPS is hemorrhaging money right now.

Sounds like OT ain’t going anywhere

These things are cyclical.
Its not the first time we have overcorrected, nor will it be the last.
