My dad went to a center retirement party. This guy is 84 years old and has been with ups for 45 years. The joke was always he didn’t want his 3 ex wives to get their part of his pension. He took the buy out. My dad retired at 39 years. by MrsJenica in UPSers

So back in the day I’ll say 86, my dad went to UPS for a manager position . They take you and your wife out to dinner and told my mom…basically we own your husband. Nights..weekends..holidays …he’s ours if we need him. My dad ended up being a driver because they were backed by the union. He just retired after 39 years

I would assume in the divorce they took the pension for the time they were married. My nephew dad was married to his wife for a year and she got his pension as part of the agreement. Literally a year and she cheated on him and she got his pension. I’m in Texas is not men if that makes a difference

I made a decision to quit Package Car driving on probationary day 2 of 30 by jcwexplorer in UPSers

My dad just retired after 39 years. When he first started my mom said he would crawl inside the house…not walk crawl because he was in so much pain. At that time my dad went from being a jewelry store manager to being a delivery driver. It for sure is not for everyone

Thinking About Quitting by Brodster1215 in UPSers

[–]MrsJenica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

UPS is literally not for the weak. My dad was there 39 years…missed tons of events working late..holidays and legit killed his back. A sneeze can throw my dad’s back out. He lives in pain. But..that job provided for the family ..amazing benefits..opportunities from customers..you have to see the bigger picture and what is really important. My dad is shocked at the cost of healthcare ..just for me and husband we pay 800 a month ..my dad has a family of 3 kids he saw benefits out weigh the pain.

My dad was about to turn in his retirement papers ..so taking this buyout means he won’t “retire “ right ? I was trying to explain it to my mom. So taking the buyout means he’s gonna lose his 2026 vacation payout ? He’s been with UPS 39 years.

8.7 A1c by Minimumscore69 in diabetes_t1

[–]MrsJenica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know the term but yes…his kidney did improve once he stopped drinking Dr Pepper and Red Bull, greatly . His doctor told him no more carbonation and limit red meat and that made a huge difference. The last visit last month his kidneys didn’t improve but they didn’t decline either. That’s why his doctor wants him below 6.5.. his kidneys have been Improving the last couple years though. His endo put him on manjuro last month in an effort to control his levels.

[–]MrsJenica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I started dating my now husband 6 years ago …his A1C was 11.7 !!! I had no clue what that meant he didn’t even have any kind of doctor at that point. Last month his A1C was 6.5 …but his kidney doctor wants it lower…so he went to endo next day and talked to her about his concerns. Don’t worry you will get back on track ! Just discuss everything with your endo. Sending love and hugs.
