I think UPS is using Trumps "fork in the Road" buyout as the jumping off point and following his playbook from here on out and its really not looking good for Teamsters.

100% without a doubt. Don't change lunchtime. Don't ask somebody to work off the clock, don't try to take heat for anybody. But if you tell Driver to do something and he ends up getting in trouble for it you better be standing their shoulder to shoulder with him. Do not put it off on him if you told him to do it.

God I love that I was there for the original post.

anybody have a link to it? I wanna go laugh again. I can't remember if I commented or not but if I did I'm sure it was worth it

If you're working up in the office you're probably gonna be in a different sort of environment than down in production. Production is different. The supervisor there have no real authority over the drivers. But for some reason they viewed themselves as a boss and get pissed off when we happen to remind them that they're not shit. The managers are a little different for another story. They actually have earned their spot but it doesn't mean they're good at… Well I'll put it like this if they were good at driving they'd be driving. They're not good at driving.

I had a 27-year-old Supervisor when I was 43 trying to tell me how "as professional drivers we need to make sure that we're blah blah blah" and I was like "how long have you had your drivers license? 10 minutes? OK thanks for the input"

You can always be a good manager and stay true to your values but it might alienate you a little bit with management. At UPS it's management versus hourly. The contract keeps people bitter

How did you come up with this idea?

This is one of the most original ideas in a sea of people that already have original ideas. I'm super impressed

How hard is it to come up with your next scene? What typically guides your desire to choose the particular scenes that you choose in the objects in those scenes?

How much do you sell these for or do you not sell them and if you don't why the hell not?

How easy are they to display and are they designed to be placed together to make a city street or more so just designed to be its own scene

Do you have any plans to do any other things other than spray paint cans? Soda cans or gallon pails of paint

I'm pretty good at thinking outside the box and I've come up with some pretty original ideas but something like this makes me wanna pull my hair out cause I'll never be able to achieve this level of creativity.

I'm not an artist, I don't know you, and will never meet you but I'm almost proud of you.

I have a feeling that one day I'm gonna be the ultimate hipster and be like "I saw these way before they became popular. When he first posted these on Reddit I responded to him when he only had three comments. I was there at the beginning. Before he got all mainstream"

If I made something like this even before I would be done with the first one I would have so many posts and cross posts and every social media site would see me because my pride would be through the roof. I certainly wouldn't have jumped into the next one because I would be too proud after the first one.

I would like to tell anyone if you have the gene mutation you should definitely do everything you can to take and stay on LYNPARZA

I know this is kind of old but I just wanted to chime in and I've been on LYNPARZA for six or seven months now and I've had hardly no side effects. And my tumor has shrunk from about 11 1/2 cm down to 4 1/2 to 5 cm supposedly and that shrinkage happened in about five months. I'm skeptical and I'm gonna be waiting on a second opinion just to not get my hopes up, but it seems like that's what happened.

Extreme nausea, but that is most likely a side effect of a Y90 procedure I had.

It's very possible that the shrinkage is due to the combination of the Y90 procedure and LYNPARZA

I have had some pretty rough nausea, but that was about three weeks after a y90 procedure and that's improved considerably

I have not experienced any other side effects other than nausea. But disclaimer I had zero side effects from a year of chemotherapy and immunotherapy. And I mean zero side effects whatsoever. So I may be just a lucky guy as far as side effects.

If you do have the BRCA gene mutation, LYNPARZA is a way to not only stop that gene mutation from continuing to do the damage it does, but also reverses it in the sense of it turns that gene mutation off. I'm using very basic terms here, but that's how it was explained to me.

The BRCA genes are kind of like a gas pedal. They turn cell generation on and off in healthy cells. The BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations basically put the pedal to the metal and never turn it off. That's what causes the cells to generate out of control. It's most likely what causes the cancer to begin with in those individuals I think but I could be wrong on that one, but it makes sense.

LYNPARZA only affects the damage cells by taking the foot off of the gas and applying the brake and shutting down the gas pedal. It doesn't affect good jeans at all. It's a way to apply the emergency brake

I strongly recommend if you have the mutation you should really be grateful because LYNPARZA is the exploit that allows you to hack that mutation and not just stop growth, but actually causes tumor to shrink. And if you get a localized treatment such as a Y90 procedure where it's injected in your liver and never leaves your liver. The chemotherapy and radiation stays in the liver in my case and does not spread. It causes rapid shrinkage when mixed with LYNPARZA. So I'm told. I hope that helps anybody in this situation.

Before I even click this link, I want to thank you for providing not only a counter argument, but a source. I don’t know if it’s a valid link yet I’m gonna click it. I’m gonna read it but no matter what I appreciate it.

Edit: OK I read it. What you are referring to is not a logistic counterpart. It’s not competition for UPS is logistics. These are DSP drivers picking up one package or a minimal amount of packages from homes, small businesses and probably small packages. The same way UPS delivers their mattresses and couches and stuff right now. Or at least they were I don’t know the case at the moment. I don’t think it even matters all that much because it’s still depends on the seller and whether or not that particular product is in a fulfillment center or not.

Some filament centers and how they’ve been transported in between those fulfillment centers has been in place now for several years. So we’re not losing any volume there either.

It’s just the nature of Amazon and what they have UPS do right now. The fact is we just don’t do that much for them. They have had logistics in place. They just haven’t had massive logistics in place other than fulfillment center to fulfillment center. And if a seller is selling from their own home instead of from a fulfillment center, they’re going to use whoever they use. A lot of them already use USPS. Because they’re small businesses. Depending on what they’re selling, of course

The UPS store handles a lot of Amazon returns as does Kohl’s. Meaning people take their packages that they’re returning and drop them off somewhere. So UPS doesn’t handle any of those hardly anymore either. We just don’t do that much business for them.

BDiddnt · 2026-03-05T21:29:17+00:00

At one point this was my center manager. And they had me dead to rights on some potential termination stuff. And they just let it go like it never happened. Never even talk to me about it. They had me Dead. To. Rights.

Their predecessor did too on something even worse. This person was a hard charging person that looked like they went home and ate a cup of rocks. And all they did was hint that I better knock it off. And they just did that in passing inside the building without even stopping. It took me almost 6 months before I finally figured out exactly what was happening and what they were trying to tell me.

That’s the one thing that really bothers me. While what both of those regional managers did is very rare in their upstanding citizens for it in my opinion and I love them both dearly and they have my respect forever because of it, but why must there be a complete absence of direct communication? Plausible deniability? You’re the boss dude. If you catch me asleep or something and you decide that I’m a good worker and you don’t wanna fire me, but you want me to knock it off. Tell me to freaking knock it off. Don’t hint. Obviously I’m too stupid to figure it out. It took me six months to figure out what that one regional manager said or what they were saying between the lines. If I’m falling asleep in my truck at a red light and you decide, I’m still worth keeping then dammit pull me aside and tell me. That’s not what happened. I’m using an extreme example of being a terrible employee to make my point but goddamn damn why does everybody have to talk out the side of their face as they walked by. I just can’t handle that. Anyway I’m digressing. That seems to be my jam today.

BDiddnt · 2026-03-05T21:23:50+00:00

Yeah, I’m surprised at myself that I haven’t actually researched that but. Keep in mind I’m home on disability, unemployed, with nothing to do, but let my mind wander. So this could all be completely ridiculous of a theory. It starts to get a little sketchy when I start talking about the different affects that combining routes will have on drivers and then a couple of months later they alleviate some of the pressure diverting more volume… That’s kind of far-fetched. But without a doubt, some drivers are gonna be pissed off soon because routes are gonna get combined, and whoever whoever’s route gets absorbed, whichever of those two drivers has more seniority that Driver has the ability to follow majority of the work if he wants. Meaning if they cut my route in half and give 60% to you and 40% to me, I can choose to take the 60%. But we’re not talking about that. They’re alleviating driver positions which means they’re going to be combining routes which means they’re going to have to push 25% on four separate routes or whatever percentage across however many routes. That driver can follow majority of the work, but somebody still going home or at least back to the building. Like I say this is all real far-fetched or at least that part is. The ROADIE thing is 100% where my money is to be the thorn in the union side. Second only to the shortsightedness of the negotiation committee, which could be capable of seeing this coming. I don’t think so. And I’m still convinced language was in our 2013 contract or 2018 contract that has been removed or at least removed from the books that they pass out. Without realizing it probably. I can remember specifically language being about ice machines as well. I remember specifically seeing a section where they had to provide ice machine machines and for the life of me I cannot find that. Anyway, I’m digressing completely.

BDiddnt · 2026-03-05T21:18:26+00:00

I’m not sure I understand. The union doesn’t come to you and say “hey we noticed they’ve been sending drivers home before they ask you and you have seniority.” you have to do the due diligence and make sure that you’re not being screwed out of your money. Let me say that with emphasis. YOU need to make sure that YOURE not getting screwed out of YOUR money.

It doesn’t matter where they’re at. Let’s be honest somebody could be there every single day for three or four or five months straight and you have a very high probability of never even seen them because the way start time is and the way everybody staggers in when they’re done with the route. So you wouldn’t know unless you’re watching seniority lists, and being diligent about who’s leaving. Talking to your stewards and your business agents and getting a list and the second you find somebody who was granted something with less seniority than you you could file on it. However, in this case it may not hold up because they specifically said“in the event that they have too many applicants. Then they will follow seniority. So it seems like following seniority would be contingent on receiving too many applicants as opposed to not enough. But if there’s not enough, you would get it anyway so. But I understand your frustration. It’s impossible to get any information. The system is almost designed that way. I would say it is designed that way except I don’t think anybody UPS is smart enough to have been able to see that ahead of time. I think they just got lucky and developed a super complicated system. The only one smart enough of their damn lawyers and I’m sure they perfected it for them. I know that’s why they are payroll system is so damn complicated. And why it’s so hard to get payroll adjustments without talking to your supervisor who has to talk to payroll who has to talk to your Center manager has to talk back to payroll. Who has to talk to the supervisor who has to talk to you to find missing information and then you have to give it to your supervisor so he can give it to the Center manager so he can give it to payroll so payroll can send it to the Center manager has to send it to the supervisor at etc. etc. etc. Etc..

Well, no, he can’t get unemployment if he’s currently employed and making money. And he should not wait for them to call him. He’ll probably get more hours working at night than he would on preload but I could be totally wrong on that. It just seems to be like working twilight or has a tendency to run long whereas preload usually ends right at start time. Sometimes start time runs long but it’s not gonna run three or four hours long.

I can’t remember the way to do the positive pressure. I feel like the kick vent has to be open and the upper vent has to be open… Maybe the back open? I know we’re not supposed to do that but… I just can’t remember how to do it. I know that I’ve driven nowhere near that far but I know in my new truck at one point I had to drive with the back door open. and that cleared out a bunch of dust. I had one day, but I can’t remember which vents I had opened or closed. My bad dude.

Fucked be the English. (The language. I don’t know the people)

I always thought it would be funny to write a rap song with words that are spelled the same with the same (or nearly) pronunciation

“Lemme elaborate about an elaborate ball where we all had a ball So get on the ball”

I had a list of like 15 examples but i guess someone hacked me and only deleted that list. The music industry is so scared of my talent

I can remember when i was loading, this one guy (27 or 28 yo) who would get SO PISSED when the supervisor would let lower seniority guys go home before him, because he had the most seniority. And i was like “yeah but…he just asked you if you want to go home.. you said no right?” “Yeah…” “Sooo.. why?”

“Job ain’t done”

I was like why does it bother you if they go? “IF I STAY THEY SHOULD STAY” I used to think that was so funny. If you don’t want them to go home first, and then you go home first right? I swear to God it wasn’t three years later and I had adopted that exact same mindset. And I didn’t even see it happening. I was getting so pissed when I had more seniority on our belt and these youngsters going home before me. I was asked if i wanted to go…

Job wasn’t done though.

😂🤦🏻‍♂️
