No it hasn't. We are the first generation of workers who are facing working thanksgiving night and Christmas morning. Probably the last 2 days of the year people should spend time with their family
Or ups can do the right thing and just deliver everything on Monday
Maybe you should rethink having to use a holiday as an excuse to spend time with family.
New cars are the worst at this. I feel like they're designed from the ground up to be sh*.
Kind of hard when ups has us working 45-50 hours through out the year
Cars last far longer than they ever did before....
No one is forcing you to work here.
It's not that hard really. If we want the days off make sure they are guaranteed off come Contract time.
new cars last way longer than previous generations. 100k used to mean it was time for the graveyard.
Please. Mercedes is a prime example. The 1980s Benzs were amazingly solid. Tons of them still running with half a million miles in 3rd world countries. Buy a new Benz and see how long it will be before its in the shop. They are designed to break. Mercedes was not making money on service work their golden days of great engineering. This is just one example.
Powertrains are better, but overall they really are intended to be throwaway lease vehicles.
Those cars with 500,000 miles have had plenty of work done to them.
Any suspension part is a wear part. It needs to be replaced every 75,000 miles or so. Interiors hold up much better than they did anytime before the mid 90's.
Curious if you have any knowledge of mechanics and how stuff works. I have been educated quite a bit formally and informally.
Not a chance.... gramps.
Did you know the parts on a new car are designed only to outlast the warranty? Even when you buy new OEM parts you will never get the same part again. Engineered sh*.
That means you never owned a car built in the 60's 70's or 80's. New cars will run 100k with just changing the oil. New cars have never been more reliable.
I won't disagree they're reliable, though only as long as they were designed to be.
