When I started in 1982 my center manager said UPS would never, ever, ever need to advertise because the brown trucks and drivers were all they needed to get our brand out. Guess he was wrong.

HAHAHAHAHAHA...joke is on that center manager and many other old school UPSers who believe we are a "premium" employer in the job market

We were told by a DM that we have a wage and benefit package that's the envy of the industry.

Those are the only two things that UPS provides reasonably well, IF they pay you correctly, and IF they report your hours worked for those benefits, which isn't always the case. Everything else is a complete joke and an embarrassing company to work for. Around here, driving around a garbage WM truck gets you the same benefits and pay - and is actually looking cooler than being a UPS'er.

Yep...
They used to hire 1 in every 40 applicants.
That's when we were the unquestioned leader in the industry.
That's when drivers punched out by 5:30 everyday and part timers made the same per hour as drivers.
Now we get the McDonald's rejects.

Yep, back in the age of typewriters, UPS was a great employer.

No kidding ... no other company even comes close.
The issue is paying drivers more than college graduates to do a job that doesn't even require a high school education.

I understand why UPS went public and the consequent changes but I sure as hell did not like most of them.
I felt betrayed to a certain extent but mostly just sad.

For me , the instant wealth of that day made all the changes that happened the following 10 years minimal , if not laughable .
It was a different company the first 20 , but I never shed a tear about the stock going public. I smile every time I go to the bank.

This is 100% inaccurate.
The Company held up their end of the bargain.
The Union dropped the ball.

You didnt have enough contact with helpers if you think this is true.
UPS pays me the going rate for my work ethic.
