Major Revelation... or just slow learner?

[LeeRoyBrown]

I have come to the realization that I need to suspend the personality traits that make me "ME"... just go to work, monkey/robot my way through the day, and get on with it. Does this sound about right? Does this theory/philosophy apply to more than 1 position at UPS? Anyway, today will be day 1 of that. See how it goes and fill y'all in later.

You have it figured out. Good luck.

Perhaps the real you is unemployable.

Sounds about right. Keep a sense of humor and you should survive.

This is key. If you don’t laugh, you might cry.

This attitude will set you free

I know that's the case for me. Any time I slip and allow logic and intelligence to dictate my actions at work I almost always regret it. Not really good at "playing the game", especially when the rules seem to contradict one another. Once you stop caring about the way things should or could be, life at work seems to get a little easier.

100% agree.

Maybe if you're the type that takes your kids to Disney every year and thinks it's the most glorious place on earth.


Real men crying.....nope

When some brat screws up the load on monday and gives everyone overtime. IDGAF
When my planned day is always 1 hour later than driver start. IDGAF
When the dispatcher kid that was hired at the same time as me than me hands out 10-100 add-cuts that make no damn sense. IDGAF
When a group of businesses begin ordering a new record amount of bulk for a P500. IDGAF
When I get a random helper, every day, to reduce my hours. IDGAF
When I get told to punch off in exactly 5 hours with plenty of pieces still outside, and the last driver on my pull has just about had it loading their own pc. IDGAF

Just throw my scanner in the trash and bring back the charts!

You got it figured out mostly.

The minute you stop trying to improve UPS and turn off your brain you have figured it out. If you fight it, it will eat you alive and make you angry and resentful.

Agree. It could be better, but it won't.

I'll take any pointers you're willing to offer. I often feel like I'm missing something that everyone else just naturally understands.
