Mostly, it depends on the person themselves.
These types of people generally feel bad about themselves, their job, their life.
Most could use some type of psychiatric help.
Do the majority of UPS employees(the package handlers in particular) really hate their jobs...

5 years in and there are aspects that I strongly dislike and some that I like. Free insurance and the possibility of making really good money/pension are the pros. Cons are if you are good at your job then they will continually pack more on you. You will be taken advantage of regularly well others are allowed to skate by.

Not many people go online to say how much they love their job.
Does this place get inane and annoying? Sure. Is it the third Reich? No

Depends on your center and manager. I'm in feeders and have it pretty good. My sups are good and leave me alone. However, I do my job and don't mess around. Drivers who get harassed usually deserve it around here. Like going to the rail yard and hooking up to a trailer, and sitting there for an hour.

My commute is the same every day, except for Mondays, as that is the day that they pickup the trash on this one street and there is no way to get around them when they are doing so.
Every once in a while, my sups would check up on me to see how I'm doing on unloading and would sometimes give me a hand if I'm kinda struggling(despite the annoying irregs always in my way). Only 1 or 2 sups of mine would tell me to increase me work speed a little faster a few times when they catch me unloading at a slower pace but other than that, most of my sups are alright.

-Preload is easy except for the tough hours and constant meddling by some sups. But if you just look at it as filling the time and doing as good as you can, it's easy.. if you stay off the couch and USE THE REST OF YOUR DAY you will be happy.. unload is the easiest.
-Some people seem to love driving.. but I don't know why. I am actively seeking an alternative. I need to work with people and have steady hours and a definite end time. However, now I know.. and I am stronger for having done it well.

The quickest way for me is the interstate.
Checking the live map on Waze.com will alert me if traffic is at a stand still. So I'll take an alternate route.

The Northway would add at least 5, maybe 10 minutes, to my 5-10 minute commute.

I actually really like the job (driver).
Keeps me healthy. Not in an office, warehouse all day. I get to interact (quick doses which I like) with a lot of customers. I can put on music, podcast, sports talk, news talk and listen to my heart content. For the most part I know what my day is going to be on the daily. I like the protection I get from the union. I like the wages. I like the current benefits. I like that there is a probability of a pension, but know that my wages helps me squirrel away some retirement money.
I don't like the way management is corrupt. I don't like the way they preach crap that they know is crap. I don't like having to play the games in order to try and make some arbitrary number. However, being union, having a contract allows me to write all that off once I leave the building. Well, until i get message telling me it is raining and to use the wipers. But, those messages just make good text messages to send around to laugh at.
