I don't want to worry about something I can't change
I find this place great for venting, however, all these complaints will not change the situation at UP. This company has never cared for its employees and we should not expect it to suddenly start caring for us now. What I can change is the company I... — read more

Family and friends will see you as a stranger
This is what I say to everyone who intends to apply to UP - you will become a stranger to your friends and family because work-life balance will be almost non-existent. At least that's how it is now, but I believe that those who have been working... — read more

What do they criticize you for the most?
I found the thread below interesting where someone says that they've been getting criticized more than usual lately. I have been criticized since the day one here. It’s the UP way to squeeze people to the max.
