[QUOTE="bluehdmc, post: 503797, member: 18471"] As an off the street feeder driver (3yrs) my feeling is it's the best job I ever had for the worst company I ever worked for. The job I like the bs, no. Every job has it's pluses and minuses, if the pluses outweigh the minuses, you stay there. If the minuses outweigh the pluses you look for something else. UPS is a big beauracracy, a lot like the military, they've made studies of ways to do things, you have the mucky mucks in some office in Atlanta who decides new technologies or methods and all that bs gets passed down to your supervisor who has to implement it. Once I go out the gate it's all basically forgotten about, I just try to do the best job I can, as safely as I can so I can go home at the end of the day. When I told friends I was going to work for UPS they all replied, "That's a good company to work for." This is all because they heard of the bennies, etc. Believe me, I've worked other places with good benefits and had a lot more bs to put up with. I've found some people manage to let the bs roll off their shoulders, and some people get ulcers worrying about it. I don't really feel like getting an ulcer myself. Just do the job the best you can and you should be all right. [/QUOTE]
