Ups Management asking drivers to delay retirement

[burrheadd]

I have lost 25 lbs and if not for the lockdown I would have lost an additional 5-10.

Ohh-k

excuses are like
You know the rest

The complex where I live is mostly older people. They closed down the clubhouse which has the fitness center. Prior to that I was walking 2 miles on the treadmill every morning. I do walk on the bike path (weather permitting) but it is not nearly the same workout.

I believe I’m out of here.
Not enough incentive to hang around for another peak.
Market could crash and I still will be gone.

We've had 2 guys retire in my center so far this year. Another retiring in 3 months and another retiring I believe end of Nov.

And one guy, and I'm sure every center has one. That says he's going to retire every year but never does.

Probably a pat on the back and a little talk making them feel like they are doing great things for the company's survival. Sound familiar? Lol.

You've never heard anything like that ... who you kidding!

I meant Dave. I figured early in the day we'd still have your attention.

Yup----you have to catch OMJ before his afternoon nap.

I don't nap for some reason.
I usually go to bed around 4 a.m. and get up around Noon.
I had an emergency root canal yesterday so I didn't get up till 1:30 p.m. ... so that 1½ hours could be an afternoon nap.
$1200 out of pocket ... my Supplemental Dental insurance doesn't kick in until July 1st.
Medicare does not provide any dental coverage.

I'm thinking a lot of drivers who have planned to retire soon will rethink that based on their 401k tanking due to the "crisis".

Been retired 5 years and still haven't touched 401k. with the new age for RMD changed to 72 , still have another8 years to go. should recover by then orelse we willhave another stock market meltdown for some reason.

did the company say why they wanted driver to stay? volume? I thought costs of new drivers were less than old timers. Old drivers have all those vacations , have more sick days used., take FMLA more , etc.

They also get done

I think the phrases that my manager used were. These new drivers suck. They have to baby sat all day.

They are mad at me because I won't work on Saturdays right now. They have all rookies working Saturdays and it's a complete mess.

C'mon.....you should take one for the team.

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

C'mon.....you should take one for the team.

I've taken it enough times. 6 days is too much for me and the Saturday guys have been working 10-12 hours.
I have the take care of my self my body needs the down time.

@IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U center manager doesn't work on Saturdays. No reason for him to go in.

High achievement is only laudable if the activity itself is worthwhile.

Succeeding at Brown Cafe post count is to bowl a strike in the wrong lane. The dedication is good but it's pointed at the wrong things.

I like this guy...give'm hell.

 

[No1 Special]

Nfl ask players to delay retirement

 

[eats packages]

retire right now before volume drops and you will be frontloading an additional FT driver before a likely recession, food for thought.

 

[BrownBaggage]

To those who can retire-
You did your time and now it’s time to retire with your pension and never look back. If you’re old enough to retire, covid will more than likely hit you harder than someone in their 20s and 30s. If you stick around and get sick, those that asked you to postpone your retirement won’t care at all.

 

[ManInBrown]

Like the title says. Until the end of year.

Hahahaha
