Been hearing from the Union and the Company, " we are not making any money", So in the past few weeks I have been trying to put that into perspective, These are my observations, Feel free to add your own. people do read this stuff.
My genius outbound supervisor failed to count his dolly's, instead of loading what he had available, he loaded too many pups, causing a turn driver to leave with a single, and me having to make a 200 "double-turn" to move that unit,
UPS figures it's cost at $1.75 a mile hence, that "mistake" cost $350.00, or as I like to think about it as my 1/8 of a cent every six month raise being applied, that would take me 364 weeks, or 7 years to recoup, at about 96 cents for every 1000 miles we run....
There is a certain mechanic in an unnamed terminal who has not picked up a wrench in years, let's call him Gepeto, say he makes $55,000 a year by my formula that will take me 57,291 weeks to make up, or 1101.2 YEARS.
Our illustrious CEO, Mr. Abney, the last figure I can find is for 2016, a stock option of $10,000,000 plus a bonus of over $400,000, using my 96 cent formula, 10,833,33 weeks, or 208,333 years.
Numerous examples of our outbound light loading trailers just to make their "cut" times, causing me a 200 mile unneeded trip.
And I won't even get into damages that I place squarely on the shoulders of the Company's' part=time attitude...
WE ARE NOT THE PROBLEM, as a whole we "work as directed", and do it WELL, and SAFELY, UPS's part-time mentality is to blame, too much emphasis on just the "numbers".
Add your own examples, NO NO NO....
Be safe brothers and sisters....

: for the next five years. It doesnt matter if ups claims freight lost money in the past. They will be making much money in the future. That is where we work, the future, not the past.
