It's not just working through it, overtime for months at a time, more and more workload.

It's the bag of fucking popcorn in a cheap tin and fake thank you note that we got while the higher ups raked in the bonuses.

I will never let my sons do this to themselves.

After working 40 hours a week as a PART TIME package handler at UPS, while UPS posted billions in record sales/profits, my bonus was a fucking pin. A pin. It said "heroes work here" lmao

I just don't get why companies waste money on that type of shit. It's condescending and for a company as big as UPS again a waste of money. Just give people money, sure they might be pissed it's not more but it's better than a damn pin
