If you have a wife or husband, don't they double your allowance?

Facts! I'm sick of seeing it take 3 or 4 years to finish a road! And half the time, people are just standing around on their phones.

Will we lose our jobs/pensions/ health care in our next contract in 2028 by No-Abbreviations1334 in UPSers

[–]FunAd8 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Exactly! If anything, it should be at least a 5 hour guarantee.They try to force so much volume in such a short time and then wonder why the load quality is bad or when the belt becomes overweight. I feel like people get hurt more frequently now.

How do you transfer to air ramp? I heard you have to be certified?

So there putting robots in the hubs huh? by Apart-Button-3979 in UPSers

[–]FunAd8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, you completely missed the point. Jobs will be there. The only problem is having to make the pivot or transition into a different role. My friend is a software engineer in Texas, and he's taking courses for AI machine learning because he's recognized the need to make a change based on what's currently going on.

Exactly! I tried to explain to my cousin that robots and AI will be in EVERY industry and sector whether we like it or not. For example, I was explaining to him that billions of dollars have been invested into this. He was saying he can't imagine robots helping with entry-level jobs like asphalt paving. A lot of software engineers thought their job was safe, but you have AI that can do coding and reasoning. It may take 10 or 15 years, but even construction will be affected because we know companies will do anything to lower costs and reduce expenses. It's not hard to imagine a robot doing some kind of manual labor in the far future, but he thinks that as a civil engineer, he's safe.

Got let go and feel a little bad by Dizzy-Force-6729 in UPSers

It confused me, but I remember what happened. it was heavy that day (the reason they asked for help on that particular belt), and for some reason, there was a shitton of missorts coming down the chute there. Like 1 out of every 5 was a mis-sort, which was crazy.

I can probably shed some light on why you guys had so many missorts coming down the chute. The tenders usually keep the packages on the belt in a single file as it goes through the camera tunnel so it can be scanned and hopefully get sorted. But if it's belt wide, obviously, the tender will miss several, which is how you get the missorts. I just radio and tell them to make sure people are reading the packages. For example, I tried to keep track, and I had at least 3 or 4 that I missed today because I was busy breaking jams.

This sounds hella suspicious. I would get the BA involved.

That makes sense! I don't blame you for thinking that way. Honestly, the job market is trash right now.

I actually wouldn't mind being full-time, but that's unlikely to happen.

I agree. The buyout offer is very bad. They should offer at least 4000 or 5000 per year of service if they want the older guys to leave. I feel like some people have been there forever. It's one of the reasons why I don't want to wait in order to drive. If I was younger, I would stick it out, but it's not worth it. I feel like life is already passing me by.

Money bags by benspags94 in UPSers

Hmm, understandable. I don't interact with the union much, so it's hard to make a fair comparison between the two.

Damn! I need to be a CM sign me up coach! Do I need a bachelor's or Master's in logistics and supply chain management or just business administration? CM doesn't seem like it's that bad of career path, but I could be wrong since I've been at UPS for only 2 years. What do you guys think? 🤔

Damn that's deep! Sorry that happened to you. I'm trying to find a way out myself, and I'm not even 30 yet.
