[QUOTE="Yaba Daba Do, post: 3582060, member: 57161"] I want to do as well as we possibly can but I also think the company should be able to do as well as they possibly can. I do not think just because the company makes more this year than last that means that all that extra profit should just get spread out evenly to the employees. The company needs to make huge investments in infrastructure, equipment, and technology. That's not just building new buildings but also modernizing old ones. I was reading an article the other day that was talking about how far behind fedex we are in this area. Fedex has been coming on strong in recent years and they will surpass UPS a lot sooner than people think. We won't be the big dog on the block anymore and it's not because they do anything better than us, it's because they don't have to play by the same rules and simply don't have the costs that UPS does. As for the amount of work you are absolutely right, it is more difficult to be a UPS delivery driver than a fedex or dhl driver but customers don't care. UPS can't charge customers more because we work harder. If they did the customers would just use someone else and likely get the same level of service. I am going to make around $115,000 this year for doing little more than sitting on my ass and driving from point A to point B. I am not a victim of corporate greed and I am not being held down by the man. I have a very nice life because of how successful this company has been and no matter what I think of management or the CEO and all of the BS we have all had to deal with over the years i very much hope that they continue to be successful in the future.
