[QUOTE="UPSernomore, post: 680707, member: 25051"] Yes, age was a factor in the layoffs. It's too obvious, however, I know that there are those loyals UPS'ers who disagree. Here's another one for you which I will be sure to leak out to the general public. What I'm about to say is very factual. I have names and circumstances and I'm encouraging these two folks involved to seek legal help. UPS is terminating employees who have cancer. One has already been terminated and the other has been given a return to work date and if this person does not return, they will be terminated. This person can't return because they are still undergoing chemotherapy. I no longer work at UPS, but I remember the old partnership, as solid as the company was at that time and this would never happen back then. It's all about money now. UPS being self insured so circumstances like this is costing them some real money. So.......all UPS'ers should know that if they get sick, the odds of UPS hanging on to your butt is slim to none. And no, these aren't poor performers. These are two very good workers. This is what your company has turned into. I personally believe that UPS is trying to unload their costliest employees before the potential healthcare reform kicks in. I believe this deplorable activity will be difficult post reform. That's just a hunch though. Either way folks, it's your company now. I've been out for a while and very happy. Just trying to warn those who believed in the partnership as I once did. It's bogus these days. GO FEDEX !!! [/QUOTE]
