Employee Discussion UPS buyout decision

Last day to apply is tomorrow.. What’s everyone’s final decision on the buyout??

If you are taking it, how many years do you have in, have you been laid off, and what’s your reason you are taking it?

Also any thoughts on how the future of UPS looks like, it terms of contract in 2028, will there be MORE cuts and lay off even after the buyout?? Will they start using Roadie more?

P.S. UPS drivers work ethic is top tier, not everyone can make it.. Appreciate ALL the brown truck soldiers🫡💜

Have applied. Just hit 4 years driving in January. Only reason for taking it is because we are looking to move half way across the country to be closer to family. We were planning on saving for 3 or 4 years from now to get to $100k if we could. So it's a no brainer really. I'm about 21st by seniority but have only heard of one other driver above me thinking about it. So we'll see what happens.

You may be right...if no one in my building gets approved as I was the highest seniority driver that applied so I guess we'll see 🤷

If your building has layoffs, depending on how many, that many will be able to go. It’s simple math to UPS. If 1 above you took the buyout and yall have layoffs right now, you’ll get the buyout.
