[QUOTE="qdg2, post: 5541084, member: 100309"] There are no guarantees. I will say this.....I retired vs. even the possibility of a strike. And had bid all my vacation for August and beyond. Figuring it would take 6 weeks to untangle the mess. MOF, I didn't want to do one more peak(Christmas). You were looking for a job when you found UPS. Amazon is clearly the future. Wouldn't surprise me(at all) if Amazon bought UPS....especially if it(UPS) was devastated by a strike. UPS is not anything like it was for my time there.......hard to describe but definitely an uneasy, tense environment. I would also consider my age and health and skills. Figuring 4 years to full pay and the abysmal working conditions... If I had it to do all over again(I clocked 42 years).....I wouldn't. Given the state of America, UPS leadership and Amazon......I wouldn't be surprised about anything. Don't do it. Fun fact: UPS used to give surveys to the employees.......They would ask: "Would you recommend UPS as a job?". I never helped my Son-in-Law get a job there. He did anyway.......and has his first warning letter....for something he had no control of....that's why. [/QUOTE]
