[QUOTE="quad decade guy, post: 5100982, member: 77939"] Best is wages and benefits. And nearly unlimited job security.... Worst.....lack of opportunity. Not being able to transfer. This includes bidding on other classifications such as automotive, airline and PE. Not having super seniority. Going to the bottom of a new classification is soul crushing. And is bizarre. Mgt vs hourly. Nasty, punitive hate on both sides. I've never understood this. And just makes things that much harder. UPS in general. It could be so much better. Though, I'm proud of my accomplishments.....UPS could care less. This is so odd. Any recognition rings hollow. The recent loss of pride with the new CEO has been very depressing. Seeing it down through Mgt. is new and disturbing. UPS has a certain way of managing. They promote folks who can in my opinion, be that way. Some of these traits can be dishonest, hypocritical and even illegal. The pressure and punitive nature starts at the top and filters down. With each level working under threat of termination. A sorry way to work. Imagine what we could do in a positive culture. It's always baffled me how folks that have been hourly and subjected to such punitive negativity....turn right around and continue the practice.....as if going to the Dark Side.... The thing I hated the MOST......busting your butt all day long.....and basically being called a liar and thief for laying down on em. Especially by folks who've never done the job......or couldn't do it to save their own lives. In a job that requires quick thinking, loads of physicality and effort. I took pride in my service to customers....knowing THEY were why we had jobs..... [/QUOTE]
