[QUOTE="TheFigurehead, post: 1229119, member: 49302"] I don't think it's necessarily a problem with people not wanting to work "that hard" "these days''... though certainly those people exist... it's that no one wants to work "that hard" for that little. The starting pay hasn't, by any stretch of the imagination, kept pace with how much work is expected at UPS. As your coworker stated, Target pays more, and for what a seasoned UPS employee would probably consider "standing around". I had friends in high school who started at UPS (20 years ago) for nearly what they pay new hires now. That money was worth a heck of alot more in 1992 than it is now. On top of that, you won't see benefits, vacation, or paid holidays for a year. I don't know what they think they are offering to entice quality people to work at UPS. If they made it seem, even a little bit, worthwhile, financially, to commit oneself to that amount of work 5 days a week, more people would stick around. [/QUOTE]
