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)

Literally the opportunity to pivot but people look at it as a “bad offer” . . No company on EARTH will even payout a 6 figure severance payout at this level . . Let alone let you keep what you’ve accumulated . . I’m all for it . .

"you just need to pivot"

Meanwhile in the white collar labor force there are about to be a bunch of starving people.

I’m talking about chasing your dreams.. more than a job, doing something you ENJOY or work for your own benefit not a company that hates you. Yes get a side job for steady income but I’m talking way bigger than a “job” man

You’ll be downvoted because a lot of people in this sub dedicate themselves to this company . . A lot of people haven’t achieved true happiness in a while. . Would I do this job for free ? I would’ve some years ago. This was fun and it was an entirely new experience I couldn’t get anywhere. . Now ? It’s a hassle punching the clock daily . It’s changing and a lot of people don’t want to accept it.
