we come to work to have fun, but more importantly than anything become to work, to take care of our people and treat them right and treat them with respect and do all those things that make people want to come back. People make the job. You build those relationships to where you're not just coming in and you're just another number. You're a person, you know, you have a name and you have a back story getting to know your supervisor building that bond, that friendship, it means a lot. Well, I started ups back in 1993 growing up single mom with three kids and let them my grandma and needed some extra money. So I went to work right out of high school, and I'm in my 27th year. GPS just ended up being a great career for me and put me through college. This couldn't be more thankful for what GPS has done for me and my family. Yeah, I can definitely relate to that, too. And I started out of high school initially thought. Okay, Well, this will be great to pay for college. Got my associates degree and baking and pastry arts just loved ups and continue to grow within the company. Christian about you. I started off actually, in December of 2019. It was really only to get extra Christmas presents for my mom and siblings and got attached to it. Or they love meeting new people. Didn't look back. Since then, I'm the vice president of the Air District. I have responsibility for all world port operations. World Port is the mother hub of our UPS network. You've got a group of about 10,000 people out here at night service in a couple of million packages. Kelsey, what do you do every day? Feeder drivers are like the semi truck drivers. We are more so those smaller packages in large volumes Christian as a front line supervisor, kind of oversee the packages. Come down the chute. It's making sure everything rides out safely. We basically give you the keys to the point every night. Right part time employees are really what make the framework of our company go every day. Starting off in peak season. One day I was just approached. Hey, you've got some serious work for a manager to come to an admin to get recognized like that. You know, it's it's huge. It's like now I walk through the wing and I know just about everybody, you know? I didn't expect that to happen. We had a lot of on road supervisors retiring. I approached one of the managers and just kind of told them like I want that job and they were like, Go get your CDO ups actually trained me to get my CEO as long as you make it known that this is what you want. But I think that they're going to try to do the best that they can put you in that position as long as you have put the dedication and time into for it as long as I can remember, my mom always used to tell me something. Just ask for the worst thing they can say is no. There's so many different positions within ups that you can try out and try to advance in from my chair. What I prefer is that, you know folks are go getters, right? You obviously were a standout for a manager to come to an admin and say, Hey, probably very flattering to you. But now you know that When you want more, you gotta go get it. That many mentors growing up in the mid nineties when I went into management and I was told I needed to get my education ups. Help me get it. And I always knew that I would have opportunities as long as I went the extra mile to get it. Earn and learn helped me get my bachelor's degree in my master's degrees. The company offers you a maximum of $25,000 lifetime, but the company will pay up to $5250 per year toward the program. Yeah, I was able to go get my degree and baking and pastry arts. Eight years later, I'm going back to school for my business degree, so they're also helping to pay for that, too. So I mean it. It just keeps giving, Really, What a perfect example. Though you have a pastry background and you're managing tractor trailer drivers, I would have never thought that I would have been able to have so much accessibility to college, you know, coming from household with one mother, five kids, you don't really think about education past high school for the Metro College plans E. P s will pay to the penny all the way through to get your bachelor's degree, and you have to work on the night side to qualify for with this plan, you finish and you are debt free. It's literally a dream come true for a lot of people. I wish I was able to take advantage of it years ago, but I could've saved myself, you know, tens of thousands of dollars, but it's just it's just amazing. You know, the different parts of the country I've worked in the UPS is a prominent partner in the community. To see the millions of ours that we give back to the community every year is just really inspiring to me. But when you see the shield showing up at an event, you know that you have the largest employer locally around here, and people get excited and they know the impact that we're going to bring because of the size and scope of our presence here in Louisville. All the hours that we donate with our families to feel good moment, we try to donate back to our community, and you can donate to any charity of your choice. I've done the bike to beat cancer. Sure, let me go right 35 miles on a bike. Never, never trained for it. But let's go and and I did, and I fell in love with it. And every year it's grown. So you get your family involved, too, with the volunteering, and I think UPS is really good. I'm about doing that and giving back to the community as well. It's not just delivering your iPhone to your doorstep. It's more today and all these volunteer work that we have, whether it be clean up or paint a wall for somebody, watch kids or whatever the case may be. You know we're there, you know, it's not just boxes. Where do you see the future of ups in the next 10 20 years? You know, right now, you know, we're the leader in global commerce, and everything revolves around our people and treating people right, putting people in the right spots to be successful and making sure that they're trained properly to take on more responsibility. Because as we go and folks retired, we gotta make sure we have that succession planning going on. So where we can add the Kelsey's and the Christians step into my roles. Someday, when I write off into the sunset where our company is going to be good to go for the next 100 years, mhm.
