You Won’t Believe How Cheap This Company Has Become

[rod]

The only thing I seen them do for one of the circle honor drivers , was after the PCM they told them to go home for the day and get paid 8 for it.

Unheard of--are you sure you work at UPS?

 

[rod]

I can see why they did away with those. Those aren't cheap lol.

They used to be----at least WAY cheaper than what they get for guns now days.

The hard part of those safe driving award prizes was hiding the prize catalog from your wife so you didn't end up with some stupid piece of jewelry she wanted.

They were still giving out the leather jacket for 25yrs safe driving as of a year or 2 ago

Yup, I got one maybe 3 years ago.

I’ve got one never been worn

Same.

 

[over9five]

Yes but not the other stuff that went with it. Open bar, food and a hotel room

Mine was a buffet breakfast, catered at a hotel thank God, not in the building. You could basically invite as many guests as you want. I brought my Mom, among others.
PS, no open bar or hotel rooms!

Would it still fit?

Mine didn't fit when I got it. Sleeves are too long.
My own fault, I ordered it....
Every once in a while I plan to take it to a leather place, see if they can shorten the sleeves. Never get around to it.

I guess every place is different but it used to be a really big deal years ago.

 

[over9five]

Yes we did. And a new UPS billfold every year. I'm still using a table saw, drill press and grinder that were all safe driving awards. They aren't what you would call contractor grade but they do the job.

I have a beautiful DeWalt chop saw. Think I got it for 10 years? Maybe 15..

They told us at the time they were trying to get back to that (hotel, dinner, drinks). Now they won't with all the dumb cutbacks they're doing. Like fuel!

Lol, agree, THAT'S happened..

Yup, that could be. I'm not sure either.

We used to get so much free crap it was hard to keep track of everything.

Wallet every year! Or every other year? Not even sure of that!

 

[oldngray]

Wallet every year! Or every other year? Not even sure of that!

Every other year was a wallet plus something else for safety awards.

Hey, remember this? Oldie, but a goodie!

Used to be a full dinner. open bar, live music in a nice banquet room. One of our
long time feeder drivers used to be the emcee. Then a free room for the night in the hotel
and a catered breakfast buffet in the morning. It was like you were working for a different company.

Terrible reward.

Would have been fun inviting ladies from the local Strip Clubs!
