I laugh all the way to the bank.

Congrats buddy. But there are some of us who know we are worth more.

Our pay is a joke as a full time driver for a company we make 13B for. No so more than ever. Most welders, electricians, armed security guards are around 50-60/hr in DC…. Target starts punks at 24/hr.

Maybe it’s time you become an electrician

Irrelevant sir,,,but what side are you on. Too many people, including you, think we are very well compensated. 4 years ago I would have kind of agreed, maybe 10% underpaid. In the post Covid world, our pay is a joke….especially when you factor in 1) the profits our work produces 2) the environment in which we work and 3) the nasty inflation Biden has caused/ failed to reign in. The shareholders got a 50% raise. I think anything less, over 5 years would be an insult. For the sake of clarity and full disclosure to previous statement….I say a 50% raise meaning out total benefit package…..hourly rate + health +pension contributions. Please don’t cheat yourself out of the pay you deserve. You work too hard for your money and your hard work enables Carol Tome to live like a queen. I am cool with that. I believe in capitalism. But those of us who live in major Metro areas know what a joke our pay is. Maybe Market rate adjustments should apply to all FT, PT for large metro areas.

50% raise, you must be smoking fentanyl. UPS exists to turn a profit for its shareholder, not to be your daddy. Just because the there is a high profit from what you produce doesn’t mean you deserve $100 an hour. Your job can be done by a freaking high school drop out

Right while complaining of the low wages but never trying to better their situation when full-time opportunities are available because it’s too hard or whatever illegitimate excuse they give. View attachment 432432

FT wait in my local is 9 years

 

[TeltBender]

I always hate the argument of needing more FT opportunities. There were more opportunities over the last few years than ever before, they just want easy inside FT jobs. I understand a very select few cannot go driving, but for most of them, you, these are the jobs available, and there were plenty of them for a while.

Give us a reason why the company should not create more FT inside jobs? You just sound like a jealous old man who wishes they were inside.

I actually think they should give out bonuses if they exceed their targets

Not sure what UPS gross profit last year was, but there is 118,000 USA drivers. Just drivers alone with a 40,000 dollar increase for each driver in a year that would cost UPS 4.7 billion dollars, which I'm sure they profit close to triple that. What are they doing with all the profit? We need to get paid, that's for sure. If I'm way off, clown all you want.

How $100K/yr to drive a van around considered not good pay? Sure you should get increases that match the high inflation but not more than that. Pay is already very good plus a great pension plan. Nothing to complain about as far as pay. If you are going to complain then complain about too much forced overtime, no A/C in the vans, but not the pay.

Feeders need $75

How about a diet plan instead

You can rent one of these or buy one out right with your big UPS pay! That will take care of your lawn problem.
