Looks like we may be turning the corner on jobs!!!
UPS is a tough company to work for. Every second of your time is accounted for.
It is good salary though
Yeah god forbid the company paying your salary keeps tabs on you so you're not at a strip club while on the clock.
I had a neighbor who drove for UPS. It goes beyond visiting a strip club on company time. Every second of his route was planned. He was not allowed to answer questions for customers, only hand them a card and give them a number. Your route was strictly regulated with no margin for error.
It paid well but was very stressful

It says USPS - United States Postal Service - and that is a damn good salary!
Dang... im in the wrong profession.
25k retire and 25k hired to replace them. That's a wash.
The 25k who retire are still getting a paycheck
The 25k hired get a paycheck they were not getting before
In a bad economy, people who retire are not replaced
Dang... im in the wrong profession.
Yea, posting messages on USMB may be mentally gratifying, but I'd imagine the pay sucks.......
Oh no! This must be bad news!
The article was actually about new training methods by UPS not about any employee increase or decrease.
FedEx and UPS Feud Over Union Rules - US News and World ReportUnions have outlived their usefullness to a large degree. I would agree that they were a necessity for coal miners (referring to family heritage) and other industries where no sane person would move to for a job paying modest wages and risking their life everyday. Those captive workers need additional help with handling the ruthlessness sometimes employed by companies to increase output and profit.
Lets face it though, companies are started by folks like you and me for one reason- to make a profit. If a worker is not being productive enough then that worker should be terminated. If a company has a stated policy and violates that policy, there are legal avenues one can take to correct the situation
Umm it is replacement jobs for retiring employees over the next 5 years. Not additional jobs now.
Nothing to do with recovery jobs folks, just disperse and go home, nothing to see here.
UPS is quietly trying to get a bailout from congress which is designed to limit competition for overnight deliveries.

Still more people employed as retirees are no longer in the workforce
HUH? What part of "replacements" did you not understand?
If you replace 4 of your tires you now have 8 on your car?
Most of the younger generation could not handle an UPS job.
