Do You Recognize Your Co-workers?

Supervisors would drink with hourly

See, that's the big difference today. Every Center manager or supervisor I worked for came
up through the ranks at UPS. Heck, my last center manager before I retired started at UPS
as my loader. That's all gone now.

If management wants to act tough, they shouldn't ask for a police escort to their car for a month when they act like a fool. It cuts into the quarterly profits. Should be taken out of their mip.

As I was scanning my fellow co-workers during PCM I realized the amount of co-workers I don't know has exceeded the amount that I do. I remember a time when I knew everybody--preloaders, unloaders, drivers, etc. Now I find myself wondering all the time "who's that?" or "where is...? I haven't seen them in a while." My center has grown so much over the years.

I'm not very nostalgic, but I do miss the days when I knew everybody. It felt like family (sort of).

Am I the only one that misses this? Do you work in a center where you know everybody? I feel like we all need to wear those "hello, my name is" name tags now.

I don't show up for work often enough anymore to remember the crowd, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

It seems the consensus here is nobody likes their coworkers. Interesting.

As a 34 year driver there are people I've worked with for 10 years whose names I never bothered to want to know and we have a small center! I have given many coworkers nicknames that I address them with tho!

Because ups management creates a hostile work environment. Everyone on edge.
