[QUOTE="Deacon 1953, post: 135693"] This is my first time here. Been out for a year and a half after doing 30. I still see and talk to the guys I worked with all the time. There is always going to be one constant at UPS no matter if they are still in business 50 years from now, and that is "that nothing ever changes". I started as part-time, delivered for 28 yrs., was a union steward for 10 yrs. fighting the same battles over and over again. Those who have been there know what I'm talking about. The equipment, technology, and faces may change over the years as they have in the past, but the basic management philosophy will stay the same. Ten, twenty, or thirty years from now the same complaints of money, excessive O/T, who's got it and who doesn't, etc., etc., will all still be there - guaranteed. UPS is what it is - good or bad. A mgmt. person told me 30 yrs. ago that his job was to get me to do 100%, and once I was there his job was to get me to do 110%, and so on. That will never change at UPS and maybe it never should, or else someone else will do it cheaper and faster. In todays world that is the bottom line. Accepting UPS for what it is doesn't mean you have to like it, but it will make doing a difficult job easier to cope with. [/QUOTE]
