Say No to 70-Hour Weeks

150k a year. Bring it.

 

[Box Ox]

150k a year. Bring it.

Really?

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

Really?

Do the math. 3k a week.

 

[Rack em]

Do the math. 3k a week.

I think he was saying really as in "You REALLY want to work that much?"

 

[Box Ox]

Oh no, your math is fine. It’s just that money doesn’t matter all that much if your body is broken and you’ve got no life outside of work. The potential of 70 hours/6 days a week any time of year would be miserable.

And if the Company thinks seasonal drivers will stick around as the first forced group to run 70 hours, they’ve got another ing thing coming.

Not really but... bring it. I'll maxout my 401k by June.

Imagine 150K a year, sock away 100k a year for 10yrs, you have a million in the bank earning interest(or invested)
UPS 10yr retirement plan... UPS new plan to hire 25yrs olds to work a hard 10yrs and forced retirement at 35....

Uncle Sam would take a lot of that 150k. Not worth the wear on the body IMO.

“Forced retirement”, meaning....Double hip and knee replacements by 35 if you haven’t accidentally fireballed your truck working up to 280 hours a month or shot yourself by then.

Yeah but what 25yr old thinks about taxes...young, dumb and full of... energy

Adjust your W-4.

 

[Rack em]

Adjust your W-4.

Adjust it to what? You either get taxed now or taxed later. The government always gets their cut.

And you die one day before retirement...

3 day 13 hour days? Sign my ass up 4 days off, thats an improvement.

Since when does 39=70? It'd be more like 5 13 hours days.

To me, if I were an OT whore, this would be ideal. Work the 3 days and then volunteer to work 1-2 more days each week.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

The current proposal includes both 4 x 10 and 3 x 13.

I was unaware of that. Unless OT after 8 hours, then no thank you.

Not to mention that most of the guy who would be forced in would still have small kids in the home.
