Met a UPS manager at his home....

[vantexan]

So you have the job offer that starts at a higher wage than a topped out Express courier? Why are you still driving?

You realize of course that those FedEx topped out wages are in the future too, if ever?

 

[vantexan]

UPS managers are soulless dregs of humanity 99.999% of everything that he said to you is a lie.

But the pay and benefits are damn good. Pick your poison.

 

[It will be fine]

There are express drivers that are topped out right now.

He's not, ttku.

 

[It will be fine]

Except I’ll be done this job by the time I’m 32, and I’ll be starting out at more than your topped out pay. So do you really want to play the money game with me?

He's not, ttku.

That’s not what he referenced. He is bragging about a job he doesn’t have yet and one he’s not yet qualified for. It’s a weird flex. If you can’t keep up with a conversation it’s easy to scroll back and read the comments, hope this helps.

Trying to cover yourself? That there are topped out couriers now doesn't help him at all. If he can get a better paying job than what a topped out courier makes when he finishes his degree then why not try for that? There are no guarantees in life but what would be the point of going to college if it never pays off? He's already in the FedEx system, can see for himself that getting to top out pay in a reasonable amount of time, as well as have a decent retirement from it, is highly unlikely.

 

[vantexan]

Sure you will. Texman is your financial planner so you have no worries.

My advice is leave FedEx or end up an old fart attacking others all the time. I don't have to be a millionaire to figure that out.

While making a delivery at resi, I came upon a guy dressed in a UPS uniform, I noticed he had a couple of patches, so I asked him what he did ...he told me he was a manager and that he trained all the feeder drivers...he was fit, articulate and very professional sounding . After the brief encounter, I walked back to my truck...l felt small.

Maybe your hairstyle from the70s makes you felt small.

 

[CatMan]

I guess someone of your intelligence would feel small meeting someone that was articulate and professional sounding.

It wasn't about intelligence , !

 

[floridays]

Did you just get out of the pool?

Smartass

 

[CatMan]

Did you just get out of the pool?

Ha Ha!...I was really referring to difference in salary.

 

[CatMan]

We both have the same hair style..bald Lol!

Sounds to me like you want to brag about earnings from a job you don’t have but plan to get with a degree that you also don’t have. Make believe income.

I'm sure that's how Ground contractors lure in applicants.

 

[It will be fine]

I'm sure that's how Ground contractors lure in applicants.

What would the upside of misrepresenting compensation be? Higher turnover? More money wasted on training? Didn’t think this through, did you?

Sure I did. Lots of BS artists type all over the country willing to paint a pretty picture just to get someone in the driver’s seat.

That's exactly what I've been saying about Express. They misrepresented retirement, and how soon until top out. And they got higher turnover. The bigger sucker theory. About the time you figure you're getting screwed and quit, a bigger sucker comes along to take your place.

Several hundred thousand employees have come and gone since 1973. Besides you, I wonder how many are sleeping in their car?

More than a million have come and gone since 1973. And if they didn't get in early like you I bet quite a few are living in old RV's, vans, etc.

I’m not “bragging” about anything. I’m merely responding to the guy who is gloating about how much more money he makes than me.

I wonder how many lie about their wife winning the lottery.
