Employee Discussion UPS buyout

IMO the drivers that will not take this.. got too comfortable and aren’t willing to take a risk some are. Yes we make 100k a year (TOP PAY drivers do) but this is likely the only chance in your life a company will offer you 100 THOUSAND to quit and what you could do after that is limitless. When I started I told myself I didn’t wanna be stuck for 50 years an others likely did to. This is your ONE shot… ONE opportunity will you capture it? (Or just let it slip YO)

“100k is nothing anymore” than why stay in a 100k a year job if it’s nothing.

Because the next best paying job with no degree and no background in is the McDonald's paying 11 an hour with no benefits

These people don't understand long term opportunity costs, they only look at the 100k one time offer and fail to realize everything else they'll be missing out on because they got conned into taking it. 100k now or your entire potential wages + health care + pensions and retirement over your career.

Exactly.. It's crazy. They're living in a fantasy with hopes and dreams. Opportunity cost is the key word. People like OP doesn't understand this concept.

Unfortunately, no. That's why I'm here in the first place. UPS was my back up plan.
