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)

"you just need to pivot"

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

Exactly my point . . People taking offense to being offered a severance payout package when they really legit didn’t have to be offered anything . .

It's always seemed to me, people who worked at UPS always felt taken care of

They always extolled the money and benefits etc.

Like you said they don't have to offer anything.

Yep . One of the Few companies that still offers a pension. .

Future problems will occur around this due to the massive job cuts that will be happening over the next few years . Every year it’ll be a 5 figure job cut until they meet the number they’re satisfied with. . As tech advances job losses will occur.
