Remember; buy low - sell high. These are the dark days at UPS. What does the future hold? Nobody knows, but if anyone tries to convince you that your JOB is about something other than the "Benjamins" then you are foolish to listen. Make your coin, get your retirement and go. That is why I came to UPS despite the nasty reputation. I could care less how they run their company as long as 1. They remain a going concern 2. I receive my paycheck every 14 days 3. My B Fund continues to get funded every month 4. My pension is intact. JetJok; would you have fared better financially if you would have stayed at UPS? Honest question.

Mounty,
Absolutely! When I was hired at UPS, I was number 607 on the seniority list. In fact, a guy whom I got hired at UPS was a captain there, 5 or 6 years before I made captain at FedEx. My problem was that I was unable to cope with the way they treated people. I just couldn't see myself there for the rest of my career. So, without another job, I left. Do I look back on my decision? Sure, every once in a while, and each time, I reconfirm that I made the correct decision for me. Do I have any regrets? No, not one. Life is not all about money, and any one who thinks it is, is missing the point. I'm sure that I probably lost a half a million dollars or so by leaving UPS, but I've had a great career at FedEx, where they treated me with respect and dignity. I enjoyed every day there, and with the exception of just a few jerks I flew with, enjoyed the very vast majority of the flight crews, management guys, and their administrative assistants. I've had a few of "issues" while there, cancer twice, and open heart surgery, and I always felt that the company helped me in any way they could. I really couldn't have asked for more.
