UPS worker says the company is offering buyouts to workers, the official reason is a pay them to quit so they can reduce their workforce
But she says that’s not what’s happening. She says they are just rehiring different drivers to fill the positions at much lower wages
“At least at my hub, which I know quite a few other hubs might be doing this too, now they're hiring people. And what they're doing is they're getting rid of the people at the higher rate and they're hiring them at the lower rate because we have a scaled progression and it takes 4 years to hit top scale”
“So that's why they offered the buyout. Now they hired new people at half the rate”
She says the company has also gotten very stingy
“UPS used to hand out like turkeys and hams, and they used to give us a bunch of free stuff, and they would have raffles, and they really like gave you the sense of like they really cared about you as a person, and they cared about you because you were a part of the company. And now things aren't necessarily like that anymore, but I feel like that's like that in most places. Society has really moved away from us being a community and more into it's all about profit margins, which is just sad”
I looked into it and these senior drivers make $120,000–$160,000+ when including benefits and overtime
If you fire them and rehire new workers, the new workers only make $50,000 – $80,000+ in the first 1–2 years
This saves the company a huge amount of money

🚨 HOLY CRAP! Karoline Leavitt just silenced the room after reporters kept hounding her over accusations Trump is trying to "profit" off the presidency.
"Let me just get to the premise of your question that both of you have raised. I think it's frankly ridiculous that anyone in this room would even suggest that President Trump is doing anything for his own benefit."
"He left a life of luxury and a life of running a very successful real estate empire for public service, not just once. but twice."
"And again, the American public re-elected him back to this White House because they trust he acts in the best interest of our country in putting the American public first. This is a president who has actually lost money for being president of the United States."
"I don't remember these same type of questions being asked of my predecessor about a career politician who was clearly profiting off of this office. That is not what President Trump does, and this White House holds ourselves to the highest of ethical standards."
Do these people FORGET that Trump has all the money of the world and took on politics, which got him a literal BULLET in the ear??
