another bump
18·6 months agoThe article is poorly written; it also says the $170k figure is salary plus benefits per year:
During an earnings call on Tuesday, UPS CEO Carol Tomé said that by the end of its five-year contract with the Teamsters union, the average full-time UPS driver would make about $170,000 in annual pay and benefits, such as healthcare and pension benefits.

24·6 months ago…did you not see what comm this was before you commented?
6·6 months agoFunny you should ask…
I’m just not happy. I hate the industry, the culture, the work itself
Yeah, this is definitely me (well, minus the work itself I guess; I enjoy programming well enough, although other parts of my job are awful). But:
have been there for 10+ years
This is also me (I have a fancy Certificate on my shelf saying I’ve worked at the company for 10 years, with a lovely glass brick next to it that has the company’s logo engraved on it).
I don’t know much about this company you work at, but being a sourpuss all the time runs the risk of getting yourself fired, or at least on the shortlist for layoffs if they happen. You can get away with being a grump if your work is good, though, especially if you can make yourself valuable enough that they don’t want to lose you.
As for everyone else: the reality of the working world is, no matter how you feel about it, you gotta keep bringing home that cash, so you do what you have to do to make sure you can. I’d bet more of your coworkers feel like you do than you’d guess, but it’s not exactly safe to express that where the boss can hear.
All of that said, I’m working on getting into graduate school pretty soon, because I feel like I’m letting my life slip past me, so keep in mind that it’s worth exploring possibilities beyond your current circumstances.
PS: Thanks for making this post, it proved to be the impetus I needed to finish up an email to a potential grad school professor.
lmao what a fucking world we live in
bump
Will Wight consistently pulls it off.
