Members riffy Posted February 28, 2011 Members Share Posted February 28, 2011 I feel so fortunate. Not only to be able to hold a job for that long, but, one with the same company! YAY ME! I am also fortunate, to find another part time job for 15 hours a week. I will be working in downtown Roanoke at the FretMill. I am going to be their electric guitar, amplifier, effects recording, product specialist. I will be playing the guitar for 5 hours, more or less, for three days a week. And they will be paying me. Shoot, I should be paying them! If you all can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members harold heckuba Posted February 28, 2011 Members Share Posted February 28, 2011 Congrats- my dad worked for UPS about as long as you did. I hope your profit sharing and retirement is as good as his was, he got in on the IPO which went up 8 times or so from what employees got it for the first day! The days of companies having retirement plans like UPS have nearly gone the way of the dinosaur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mslmg Posted February 28, 2011 Members Share Posted February 28, 2011 Congratulations! WOW....32-1/2 years is an accomplishment. What did you do at UPS? I have a friend that works for UPS in Louisville that has at least 30 years. Nice stock options and pension! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members artiem Posted February 28, 2011 Members Share Posted February 28, 2011 Congrats! You've got me thinking now...I wonder if I could acquire enough skillz in the next 20 years to make a semi-living as a guitar tech when I retire? Hmm.
