[QUOTE="Tony31yrs, post: 296786, member: 13245"] I retired after 31 years and loved the job itself, the customers, the pay, the benefits and the pension. If it weren't for the union though-it would be a horrible job. Use the union if you have trouble, but don't go out of your way to cause trouble. By giving you all these benefits, they expect an honest day's pay. This is alright, but they always want more. The job can be good depending on the supe, manager or district manager. Crap rolls downhill and if the guy at the top is a b*st*rd, then he will force those under him to be the same. Don't completely trust anyone in management. I worked for some supes who were great under one manager and horrible under another. Remember, if it comes down to their job or yours-you'll suffer. I was lucky enough to get my 30 and out without any really bad injuries, but I know that I will eventually be suffering from arthritis in my knees, wrists and ankles. You can't do that kind of repetive work day after day without some consequences. In NY State, we weren't allowed to drive more than 12 hrs a day by law. I always assumed it was a national law, but I may be wrong. In closing, do the job, don't cause trouble, don't let them stick it to you and get a system down so that you can work at a good pace without endangering your health. Don't let them mess with your mind too much or you won't make retirement. [/QUOTE]
