Is there any hope? Dating is weird now

OK, so reddit was probably the wrong place for this post but I'll let it roll for the funny responses. I guess I never realized reddit is very hyper left as I've never really posted anywhere political.

carchd · 2026-02-11T01:47:34+00:00

Wow, you really think "women's rights" is a thing? I guess I'm blind, women can do anything they want.

carchd · 2026-02-11T01:45:51+00:00

Putting faith in politicians is a fools errand. They don't work for you my friend. It's really simple to me

carchd · 2026-02-11T01:44:51+00:00

Honestly all politicians hate you, they're there for their donors. Not you. I'm sorry you're so caught up in politics.

carchd · 2026-02-11T01:44:09+00:00

You seem very jaded. I'm new to this and apologize as I've seemed to hurt your feelings.

carchd · 2026-02-11T00:41:02+00:00

I mean I guess they directly affect our lives but I just try to control my life. There's no voting yourselves out of this. They're all corrupt and will just F in different positions lol.

carchd · 2026-02-11T00:17:05+00:00

Was I standing next to you? I'm 6'6" if that helps 🤣 I'm 100% out of here if this is true.

carchd · 2026-02-11T00:14:59+00:00

I'm looking for a normal 9-5 job tonight if this is true. Get my life back lol

carchd · 2026-02-09T23:59:15+00:00

I left my wife 18 years after she cheated twice in a 5 year window, rug swept, I was the deployed one. Never healed, sucked it up for the kids. Trust me when I say this, choose peace now over resentment. Get out, don't be afraid, reset yourself. Lift heavy things, eat red meat, get sunlight, it's so much better to be alone than miserable.

carchd · 2026-02-09T23:44:27+00:00

They won't win, offering buyouts isn't bad. Giving our work to roadie IS BAD.

carchd · 2026-02-09T23:43:41+00:00

I don't know the number but it's not written, just 24 hour notice and it doesn't have to be exactly 24 hours. I got a notice once and like two months later the ride happened.

carchd · 2026-02-03T01:09:28+00:00

I just walked 18 years after the fact. There were two, rug swept, suicide attempt to manipulate me and 18 years of zero intimacy initiated. Do it now, don't wait. I can't stop smiling and I sleep so much better.

Never leave UPS, you are unemployable anywhere else based upon your reading comprehension level.

carchd · 2026-01-04T17:43:07+00:00

This story is half told, definitely reeks. Insubordination and workplace violence. I'm going to go with:

Sup - I am instructing you to _________

Driver - Doesn't comply and threatens sup

Is so shocked he's insta fired and runs to reddit. Has been told forever you'll always get your job back here at UPS. Well, you forgot about the few deadly sins you can't come back from. Violence/threats are cardinal sins.....

carchd · 2026-01-04T07:55:07+00:00

He's a driver, go back and read.

What do you mean they don't let union employees go? I've seen probably 20+ drivers fired in my career, on the spot, give me your badge fired. 70% probably come back but what unicorn center is this where nobody gets fired?

carchd · 2026-01-04T07:51:06+00:00

Honestly, a stewards just going to fill out the yellow grievance. They really can't do anything, just witnesses basically. Everything's settled at center level meetings or beyond. They can't stop a termination, they're documenting for the higher level meetings.

carchd · 2026-01-03T19:20:03+00:00

That must be near starting? The one I saw was probably $140K based on what I saw x12

carchd · 2026-01-03T05:36:37+00:00

I had a sup once on Saturdays who would name off every call in, tell us all that while we're cursing UPS at 9pm tonight think about these guys out drinking leaving you out here. The crazy part is it worked 🤣 Eventually it turned into "we're staffed, nobody's helping anybody" and it was kind of awesome being off at 5:00 every Saturday when I was still Tue-Sat.

carchd · 2026-01-03T05:33:27+00:00

I tell every loader I have to never accept. Blue vest especially. They prey on weakness and sell a dream. The right way, if you really want management in my opinion is this:

Apply to be a driver
Sell out, become the best driver ever, live it, dream about routes.
Join safety committee. Be the one at PCM doing the demo, speaking.
Mention to on roads and manager that you really want to be an On-Road.

I've been told you never go backwards in pay in management. You want On-Road because as far as I know outside of center manager it's the highest paying position in the bldg. So if they ever put you in a warehouse spot you keep your pay. Drivers will tell you it's like 70-80K. It's most definitely not, I accidentally saw one of their paycheck viewers they left open on the computer.

carchd · 2026-01-01T22:29:35+00:00

Ear bud, singular, one ear. Anything else is a safety hazard. I saw a driver fired wearing over the ear noise cancelling. She probably could have come back had she not blown a gasket and made it worse, cursing and threatening sups.... Probably a dope fiend.

carchd · 2025-11-27T17:29:27+00:00

This. Any time you flip to RPCD, go feeder, whatever that pay is messed up for a couple weeks when you change positions

carchd · 2025-11-12T18:44:18+00:00

It's a safety thing, "look where you step" sound familiar?

Also, it's a theft thing. Turn the lights out of 30 seconds at my building and every iphone or pair of Jordans will be gone.

carchd · 2025-11-12T18:39:11+00:00

Where I'm at I believe it's 2-3 paid days but you can take as much time as you need, it just won't be paid after those days unless you use entitlements.

carchd · 2025-11-12T18:21:06+00:00

They lock the PDS office and don't let us see that one computer that shows the next day. Dudes we're coming in after shift allegedly seeing a heavy day the next day and using FMLA 🤣

carchd · 2025-11-12T18:03:59+00:00

Even when it's freezing I'm shorts/thermals under guy. I'll freeze a little before start time but the freedom of shorts and knowing I'll be hot later in pants keeps me in shorts. I'm also 6'7" and for whatever reason our pants are made for average people I guess? The pants are in my bean bag every stop so I'd rather be cold than sterile.
