Atlanta SMART Hub Open House today

[MECH-lift]

We should dress up like Dave Abney and whip drivers with a bull whip at our browncafe Halloween party

did you not look at the pictures Scratch posted, it's run like a giant prison with dozens? hundreds? of cameras

I would get a yellow safety vest and walk around with a cell phone taking pictures and writing nonsense on a clip board. They would think I was some safety idiot and wouldn't want to deal with me.

After staring at all those video monitors for an hour or two I bet all they do is look out those windows and dream about being on the golf coarse

They’re bringing in the “Hard place”’ on Monday and putting it on the opposite side. Everyone working there will be between a rock and a hard place.

That's actually pretty funny.

He is taller in person than I thought he would be. Abney has worked for UPS for 44 years so he has one year of seniority on me! I didn't avoid him but I would have introduced myself if he hadn't been around so many people. I had met Georgia Governor Nathan Deal before. I only saw three people that I have worked with. This event didn't seem to be widely published, I only knew about it from a post on social media.

Those video monitors were all just showing conveyor belts, they weren't security cameras. I'm sure they had a security room somewhere with cameras showing every inch of the building. My Hub is covered with security cameras, you would be surprised with everything they monitor. They don't seem to catch crimes in the employee parking lot though.

I'd rather watch paint dry if given the choice of conveyor belts or paint

Free hamburgers and hotdogs! UPS as a company shows once again, it does not pinch pennies when recognizing it's employees.

That's a joke photo. My wife is legally blind and she said she would need a longer white cane to apply for a seasonal driver's job!

Does your wife load my package car?

What the hell does the rock have to do with anything?

In recognition of UPS Drivers like you!

I went to the ribbon cutting/open house at the new Atlanta Hub today. I saw Dave Abney give his speech along with the local politicians including the Governor.

I was there as well. Here's some additional photos of our new mega-hub:

I bet they spent a lot of time planning the layout of the IE offices.

offices are almost the last thing they think about (feeders and hub crap is always first), and IE always gets the leftovers btw

preload is lucky if it even gets considered at all

Why would preload need an office? They can’t even count to 8...

So you were a code 05 today? Probably got your guaranteed 8 hrs with all of the yak-yak-yak BS going on there.

I don't work Saturdays, I'm way too expensive.
