Mothers Day Air

[BlackCat]

Isn't this what you fought for all these years brother? A fair days pay for a fair days work? You should be celebrating for us, it's a win.
We're gonna win and we're gonna win big. Huge. We're gonna be great again

We fought for seniority. Not participation trophies.

Do you regret not working harder in school?

Not at all, in fact I plan on finishing school and getting a degree and getting out of pkg, maybe 10-15 years down the line. I hated school, probably because my grandmother father aunt all were teachers, expectations were high.
I was high all right.
Aptitude and intelligence tests don't mean a damn thing, I'm living proof. Life is all about effort and attitude. I had to learn this the hard way. But I do like my job. It sucks some days and my knees hurt and we ALL get over worked, but the independence is pure bliss for me

1hr 5min later start time with 4 extra drivers so far. Handful ‘on call’ which is hilarious. Either you’re scheduled or you’re not.

Probably a local thing, but here you need 24 hr notice.

Sent the message out via DIAD on Wednesday. We require 48hr here.

When I was in package I loved Mothers Day and Valentines, instead of 10 different neighborhoods I had 3.

All I'll say is if that truly is your plan, dont get used to the lifestyle that a top-rate UPS paycheck and benefits afford you.

My brother and sister both wasted 4 years of their lives about $150k of my parents money on college to end up in fields that have absolutely nothing to do with their majors and the two of them STILL combine to make less than their overachieving older brother who aimlessly walked through the door of a UPS building for the first time at age 18.

Its so crappy for them that my sister - who works in the public sector - will not be eligible for a full pension retirement until shes 68.

So think twice. The grass is always gravel on the other side.

I know of similar stories that I won't bore you with. You hit the nail on the head though.

FedEx express guy told me they lost the big flower account. We got it.

Hopefully they never lose Chewy.

Hopefully they never lose Chewy.

Amen to that. Although I get worried every time I see 5 Chewy boxes thrown in a pile at the end of a driveway.

I honestly do not miss delivering those.

Sometimes I’m tempted to stack them neatly by the front door just so no one will complain.
