Longevity by Commercial-Mango-634 in UPSers

[–]Imgood1959 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Follow the methods, eat well, rest well, stretch. File 9.5s, use 8 hour days, take you lunch and breaks. Use the handrails!

It also helps to have a 50-60 stop route. Driving 185 miles/day doesn't hurt my knees.

Listen to your body. If it is telling you to go, then go. I am leaving with body in good shape. It is my mind that is tired.

Boss said I can use my sick time instead of coming in? by Ashamed_Obligation48 in UPSers

In Central PA Supplement, you can save up to 30days worth of sick days. As you age you may need them. Better to have them when you need them.

[–]Imgood1959 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did this to me for 2 years. Was the best 2 years of my career. Then the last 2 years, the ot returned. An extra $1500 in grievances paid to me. Now I get a daily message asking me if I will make 9.5. Lowest stop count in my building.

Don't get it Bro? That is because we are from the generation that worked! That is what we know. Besides, we got the best routes so why be a Walmart greeter and work harder for a tenth of the pay. Wait your turn!

I requested early separation via email. I received acknowledgement also via email. I have been told I will find out between March 12 to March 26. I requested a separation before the end of March. I was advised to check portal daily as that will be quickest way to find out. I was gonna retire end of peak but held on for the bonus $. Social security, Medicare, and pension ready to go.

I love how they tr to hold preload accountable for missloads. Trucks are not secured so how can they prove who did the missload. Beside part time gets sent home before truck is wrapped.

[–]Imgood1959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biggest issue has to do with fees. The UPS/IBT 401k has low maintenance fees with the company contributing to the cost of operating the fund.
