Want to get out of UPS.... Torn

[Box Ox]

Pushing back I can see but quitting UPS after 20 years is foolish.

How many furniture galleries and 150-200 pounders did you deliver as part of your 200+ stop days before you retired?

That’s in addition to the constant harassment.

If its a mid-life crisis thing he should go buy a Harley and that will cure that.

Hey---when I started UPS had a 50 pound weight limit and anything over 103 L/G got sent back automatically. I remember working up a sweat a couple of times.

I should add that our center manager only checked on us twice a week otherwise we were on our own. Times were tough.

I've said this before but the teamster brass could start pushing back on this but they won't with who we have at the top now... filing harassment and 9.5 only gets you so far....if the international started pushing back and support the locals we would be in a much better situation....I'm tired of hearing "you need to have think skin to work here" and "this job isn't for everyone".... friend that!!!we should be able to work in a DECENT environment dammit!!

Just saying. "Holding on" isn't nearly what it used to be.

I'm just throwing gas on the fire. I realize it isn't what it used to be and I would have a hard time working at the "new" UPS now. That being said it wasn't all sunshine and lollypops when I worked either.

Hard to find that anywhere these days!

Have heard they use to kick the back of drivers heels and calves, that's come from a couple old extra ups drivers... that s wouldn't happen today.. guaranteed...

Yeah, the workload takes those out for us!

I think many of the old timers use to game the system.....now with the technology that's not going to happen as much.. which is ok.

He is talking about time studies where they would literally walk right behind you and try to get you to pick up the pace.

Back then we were encouraged to ride around the block to add miles.
