Life at Brown during the 08 market crash

[TearsInRain]

Blame the 2012 downsizing on 2008?

no i was just correcting the timeline on what they were mentioning

 

[UnconTROLLed]

Rewally?
Your 401k started going up in the first quarter 2009 ... you lost 40% or more the previous year,

I'd have to look up the specifics, but I just meant my contributions went up around the time of the crash. I maxed out for a while. IIRC the DJIA was around 6,000 for a time...hard to believe it's been 10 years...

iGate is the knowledge repository for UPS; it has methods, standard practices, master operating plans, building diagrams, work measurements, training and reports

it has or used to have the answer for almost anything a supervisor needed to know to run his operation like an intelligent person, if he wanted; a lot of that info is still there, but not being consistently updated to stay relevant, and certainly not referenced and shown to the ops to have a good impact

i know this info is wasted on you but maybe someone else will find it interesting

There is a gap on the FT seniority list in my center around that time where they went a few years without adding any drivers. 2-2.5 years

All I know is feeders brings boxes, preloaders try to cram it in my p 1000 with multiple misloads, nda is attempted to be put in section one but ultimately is also behind truck. I'm required to verify air before I leave and deliver it all on time after leaving bldg at 930 with 20 air stops. I do my 11 hour day and it starts over the next day. That manual you think matters is under a bunch of crap in supply closet

It was a interesting time. A ton of people got divorced in that time period. A lot of drivers lost their houses also.

More than usual?
More financial choices and living above one's means is about the only way an employed UPS should lose their house.
Gamblers lose all the time.

i remember when they gathered us all together and said management wasn't getting a bonus this year. I clapped.

Hopefully you got what you deserved.

Especially since he claims to be retired.

Yep. Maybe he should query it

Am retired, thankful everyday. This is therapeutic after keeping my mouth shut for 30 years

Then, pay attention to your syntax.

Married and one. Lmao. That syntax is still buried under crap

Well housing costs out here are very high. You need two incomes to be able to buy a house usually. So when the spouse would lose their job it was usually a few months after they would lose the home. Hard to pay for a 4 bedroom 600k home on one income.

how would you know any of that, if someone hadn't taught it to you from that manual?

I see ... didn't think about that.

Depends on what part of.thr country you live in. We all can't live in an outhouse like @Turdferguson
