Work Ethic of New Drivers
- Thread starter UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)
- Start date
I agreed on 90% of your post!...lolMy observations from reading this thread:
A) UPS has spent hundreds of millions trying to "dumb" down the position of service provider. Between PAS, EDD, Orion, and Telematics, they feel that any warm body can sit in my seat and run my route. It takes a strong work ethic to do this job MEDIOCRE let alone EXCEL.
B) The "entitled" new generation is at the doorstep now. The young new hires come in the building and are met by cracking whips and warning letters. UPS has opened themselves up to employees that just do what they can and show no pride in their work. In the mid 90's when I was hired, preloaders CARED how the truck was loaded, drivers CARED how the customers were treated, and supervisors CARED if you needed to get out early for a child's soccer game. These future drivers don't have the time to care or to have pride in a job well done. That PRIDE has evaporated once UPS hit Wall ST.
C) Dave is a hell of a driver
Do the, Hokey Pokey and turn yourself around??

You smell that?
Every generation thinks the one that comes after it is somehow less than they were. Out of our last 4 new drivers, two are outstanding, one is decent and the other is a barely functioning maroon. I would be willing to bet that pattern has repeated itself since the beginning of UPS as we know it.
The pattern will continue....the last driver, will be your next sup!

Entitled?
It took me 21yrs to call in sick.
I earned the right to be included into the Circle of Honor.
If one does not have a strong work ethic, time will weed out the weak.
Sadly, UPS's current use of technology is for the benefit of micro-management, not building a strong workforce.
In my 28yrs, it was the union that protected the weak.
I bless my lucky stars the UPS "made me"
work an average of 10.5hrs a day for the last 5yrs.Saved my money and retired 4 days ago.
Young drivers are on their own, but they better pay their union dues.

I like our new drivers for the most part. I don't miss a few of the gems that retired.

Oh Yeah
Some of the new guys just need some schoolin that's all. More to the job than just going through the motions to be sucessful at it. Cracks me up when they do stuff that makes the job way harder than it really needs to be, but that's with life in general. Smarter to kill 2 or 3 birds with 1 stone than 1 stone and 1 bird lol.

Welcome to the "Upstate doesn't believe you have the right to be here" phase of your BC experience.

Way to lump in a whole generation. I'm in my mid-20's, have an attendance record similar to Cal Ripkin, have been the company 8 years. Injury and accident free in all 8 of those years.
If I feel like hustling and bustling (which is rare these days) I can out produce 2 of you mid-50's old farts.
Continue on with the 'my generation has better work ethic than yours' rubbish. I'm sure your parents were saying the same thing about you. Rinse and repeat.
