[QUOTE="Darmark7, post: 4764185, member: 83127"] I’ve been out 4 months after 39+ yrs and I’ve only had a couple dreams. One when I woke up I had to really think about how it was even related to UPS and in the other one my truck was full and packages was all around and on the belt. The supervisor started sending the packages down the belt and I just didn’t give a :censored: and let them keep going down the belt 😅 I woke up smiling. But my last 10 yrs that was my attitude. I did my job but I did everything by the book and never worried about time commitments. I ran straight air if I had 3 stops or 20 so if the air was late they couldn‘t say anything. I never told them I had to much air they figured that out when it was late. When they asked why I didn’t tell them I had to much air? I just said “your job is to dispatch, mine is to deliver it” I made it their problem not mine. I never told them anything more than once. If I told them something I made sure it came true. Some great things I learned was no problem was a problem till it became management’s problem so I figured out how to make it their problems and not mine. Next thing I learned was to clock out of UPS when you clock out. I didn’t hang around and shop talk after work. I didn‘t come home and complain or even talk to my family about work. UPS had me for 10 to 12 hrs why let them have my mind the rest of the time and not even be getting paid. My last day at UPS I told them to not even mention I was leaving. That was the way I wanted to retire. The practice of putting UPS out of my mind when I wasn’t at work seems to have helped me in retirement. Good luck all and Happy Dreams 😅 [/QUOTE]
