i was the same way , left with 39 years. thought about going for 40 at one time but once i decided it was time to go that was it.

Carol doesn't care
We rolled 20 air trailers this year

Her lies us going to cost this company big money


UPS stock 2026 8 dollars a share
if you're like me you have about twenty different reasons you retire that includes things like your financial planning as well as family considerations . Many of those have nothing to do with the company .
But the main reason i left when i did and not a year later is probably because of how the company was running and shedding people with no regard. I saw a lot of good people that were actually trying to make a difference get dumped my last six months. It was being done at a time when covid was jacking up online sales and we probably actually needed those people So the immediate effect was excellent profitability that got our stock up over 200 . but then the problems hit as I'm sure you saw. we had no HR department to hire all the people we needed for that crunch, drivers working peak hours in the summer , packages missing service because if we cant deliver it we just blame covid. Meanwhile in management we're now adopting the home depot one manager does everything concept. I'm supposed to hire my own people with a new system that basically asks applicants if they have two hands and a foot and then sends them my way to make them successful. Eliminated the IE dept so i can now pull my information on my own with another new system full of bugs. Business development bought them out so now i guess I'm supposed to go find volume. Region sending audit teams down to my building to do bull:censored2: audits justifying their jobs in the middle of the covid mess. So I'm trying to do everything i can to make sure my people are not getting infected and lo and behold i get region visitors from NY and NJ( the worst states for covid at the time) which could have brought the epidemic to my front door step.
so the short answer to your point is Carols stupidity was on the list of reasons i left a year earlier than what i at one time planned.

You do not know how much this bothers me .
I was always grateful for the opportunity that I had but what this company is doing is more than wrong.I
I don't have a magic wand
This was a private company when it started and now they do not care about anything or anyone at all. Its absolutely ridiculous.

i was listening to Trumps speech today and i thought of the old ups and something Carol could learn from this part of his speech:

Trump advised the cadets to value and preserve time-tested military strategies and traditions that have proven effective, cautioning against abandoning them for untested or ideologically driven approaches. He stressed that the Army’s strength lies in its reliance on disciplined, battle-hardened methods that have historically ensured success. Specifically, he urged cadets to:

  • Trust Proven Tactics: Trump highlighted the importance of sticking to strategies that have been refined through experience, citing historical military successes under leaders like Eisenhower and Patton, who built on established doctrines rather than experimenting recklessly.
  • Resist Fads and “Social Experiments”: He framed this advice in contrast to what he called “absurd ideological experiments” (likely referring to initiatives like DEI or other modern policies he criticized elsewhere in the speech). Trump argued that deviating from proven methods for the sake of novelty or political agendas weakens military readiness.
  • Balance Innovation with Tradition: While encouraging boldness and risk-taking, he clarified that innovation should build on reliable foundations, ensuring new ideas are grounded in what has worked in the past.
