It use to be fair. It’s in name only now.

It’s never been fair.

Are we still complaining about ORION. @soberups is that you? I can't remember the last time I cared about Orion.

Too many drivers think like the old days. "This is my route!" No it's not. You're paid to deliver and pick up. Stop trying to pretend your the Micheal Jordan of your route. UPS doesn't care anymore.

Speaking of soberups….looks like he is enjoying retirement pretty well!!!

A manager told me “ A pick up is more important because we can’t send them a bill otherwise” Which begs the question, are pure residential routes under more scrutiny as they don’t generate income?

no

oh btw I'll touch on this by itself for a bigger IE picture:
most buildings have PPH plans and the managers will drive themselves crazy trying to beat them or change them, etc

what they don't know is the districts get a rolled up PPH target every year (usually just above last year) no matter what has happened or changed

from this PPH target, they divvy up the hours amongst the buildings based on their recent-past performance:

• ran like kings and carried half the district? congrats you get more of it this year
• sucked ass and ran your op into the ground? no worries we'll have the good building pick up your hours

just like on road, at the end of the day they have to make a number and can only harass you about improving while everyone else picks up your slack

A center manager once said, “I don’t won’t to be the worst in the district or the best just keep us in the middle and they’ll leave me alone”.

Maybe...
If you have a bunch of $10,000s.

If you are talking about keeping a few $10k's of cash around, then you might look for a high interest savings account. There are plenty of 4-5% accounts around, that don't have the commitment of CDs or Bonds.

Apple has a fairly competitive savings account plan.

edit.. i forgot.. you can use apple card to make purchases, get 5% back on purchases, automatically transfer that money back into apple savings at 5% yield.

free money as far as I am concerned.

Citizens Access- 4.5% savings account

Carol is probably the only executive that has any idea what you mean, but she's all in on our bull system

BRICS is a non-starter though, a bunch of loser countries with gigantic internal and inter-bloc problems
Russia or China could get their act together but that's about as likely as us getting our act together

still I think multipolar is the future but I don't think UPS is losing on much real future potential there, much of the growth we want is in China and the commies will steal our and shut us down the moment we look like we're established

Just like the mafia, I mean the Italians?

ask an IE anything​

Should I put $10k in a 13 month CD at 5.5%?

So you’ll make $550 dollars on the deal?

equality only exists in so far as any one can kill any other, as Hobbes puts it

beyond that, nothing is equal

lol sure joe whatever you say

project and center numbers can be manipulated, once you get above those levels you can't hide (for long) from all the eyes we have

Lol, you are a joke. They are hidden constantly. Here you think you know it all. Yet driver see things hidden everyday. Lineand initial is right you and people like you are the problem. Your solutions are infallible in your eyes, yet are completely erroneous.

 

[Ou812fu]

because our previous CEO was a complete mongoloid

Lol, the previous one is why we have bigger buildings to support this influx of volume. Dear Lord you truly don't understand business. I'm still trying to figure out why ups sold strategic land they had to build on.

Some of that is true, although I stopped caring about any of it so long ago, it’s almost humorous. The company runs on fear and fabricated information as long as the paychecks keep cashing I don’t care.

1. As every dispatcher gets replaced then newest ones are less knowledgeable than the last. Why can't UPS train these people properly.

2. UPS knows or is supposed to know what places businesses are. Why can't the DIAD's be programmed with a 5:00 commit time for the businesses. That way when people are not running a route or an area, they are unfamiliar with the commit times are met.

Because people like him, are moving the delivery point next to the road instead of the front door. It doesn't allow the program to correctly figure out the time. It's always the idiots that go in and manipulate the model that screws everything up.

I work in a bonus building, a lot of industrial parks. I drive a 1200 and it’s jammed with 500+ in Am, pickups run 600 to 800 pcs. Went from running .50 to hour under.. to 2 hours over driving the same miles with same Sph. How?

Because people like catski are completely dishonest.

Doesn’t matter they, would just replace him with someone that would, if he didn’t.

no you should:

• contribute to your 401k company match and invest in an S&P fund
• contribute to an HSA in an S&P fund
• contribute to your IRA and invest in leveraged ETFs
• keep a month of pre-tax pay into a checking account, the same in a savings account
• own 20oz of gold
• put every remaining penny into Bitcoin

in that order

I can tell you this. That anyone that suggest you invest into your 401k in today's market. Has no idea what is going on. Now he is a investor agent. The stocks are on a bubble. Switch things to true gold and silver. Good luck gambling with your dollars.
