you know the saying, "Misery loves company"? Well, that seems to be the main focus at this site. You're not going to fit in here with your "positive" vibes and you appreciating your job and all. Let us drown in our sorrows please, thanks
He'll fit right in a few years down the road.

Why don't you guys quit.

Because we are masochists. As a matter of fact, I did quit.....after 38 years.

you gonna walk away from something you have almost 30 years or so invested in?

That's not quitting. That's putting in your time and earning a right to have a good life after.

I'm in the minority it seems in my center. I've been here 23 years and I really like my job. One guy was complaining about stress one day. I said, "What stress?!?" And he was like, from here!!! I said "Dude, any stress you have here, you bring on yourself. Your job is simple. You deliver packages, you pickup pages, you go home. It really is that easy. Compared to having a 'real job' and have to worry about meetings and reports and other BS. Or to even being a cop like my brother where he is a cop 24 hours a day. That's stress." He sat there dumbfounded for a minute and says, "i never really thought about it like that."
Even now I have a route and have a good dispatcher and customers that help me on days I need help. I rarely work more than 42-43 hours/week and I am able to coach my daughters 12u softball team. After spring softball I think I'm going to make the transition to feeders and see how the other half lives. Yes, I will have to work a lot more hours but I certainly won't have to work harder. Quite the opposite.

Good God. I'd like the job all the time too. Guess it varies by location.

The sad reality is that most here have limited options and are, as rickyb likes to say, wage slaves.

You're one of them. If ups management wouldn't hire you and your degree, the rest of the world won't either

That’s Craptacular
Because making what I make an hour plus free full benefits and 34 paid days off a year is tough to get working at Chipotle or Target.

You didn't read his response in another thread then. The rest of the world turned him down first and then UPS hired him, no the other way around.

Sounds like time-served. Do we get probation and supervised release, too?

I swear you guys are the biggest bunch of babies ever.
No college education and make 100k+ a year delivering packages. Full paid benefits and pension,401k if you want. Union job security.
"But, but, but I have to carry a few heavy boxes up a flight of stairs maybe once a day"
How about the 50+ year old guys that do roofing, masonry, and framing who don't touch that pay or benefits and never complain about their job or their back hurting after a hard days work. In the cooler months do you guys even break a sweat?
