[QUOTE="Deuce, post: 166134, member: 6716"] Hey all, it's been a little while since I last visited this site, but I have been busy. Here's my story and hopefully it wil inspire hope to my fellow disgruntled UPSers. I was hired as a part timer in 01 at the ripe age of 18. I did every crappy job in the hub for over 5 years, including being a super loader etc.. i took it to the max every day for almost 6 years while I was going to school. After I finished my degree up, I decided to try being a casual driver, after doing that for about 2 months I realized I hated it, then decided to re-evaluate my life and career, wondering why I was working a part-time job at UPS. well I realized they paid a decent hourly wage and great benefits with job security and the union was nice... well I put my resume on monster just for giggles, because the commercials made it look so good, well 1 day I got a call completley out of the blue that a company wanted to interview me. I ended up finding out about a freight forwarding company that was located less than 1 mile from my house that I had no idea existed. well after 2 interviews I was hired as an operations specialist. and I LOVE my new job. I couldnt believe it but my new benefits were EXACTLY the same as my old UPS bennies, except I had 10$ copays at the Dr. office now, I make more money at my new company, I start off with 2 weeks vacation, 3 weeks next year, and 4 weeks the year after. On top of that they give us a daily food allowance for when they order out, they let us pick what food we want from a restaurant, and the company buys our lunch, they have a fully stocked breakroom with FREE beverages, coffee, soft drinks, juices etc.. a GREAT owner and awesome supervisors. I was there for only 1 month when I needed emergency time off for a family situation and my new supervisor was completley unserstanding, and just told me to make it up when i was able to. after working at UPS for over 5 years, and now working at my new job I feel like I am in culture shock. everyone is so nice and understanding, I am treated like a person, I am actually excited about my job etc... and to make it even funnier, there are numerous ex-UPSers at my current job and we all laugh about it the grass really is greener and I haven't looked back for a second after all my hard work at UPS all I have to show for it is degenerative spinal arthritis [/QUOTE]
