從USPS到UPS,圍欄那邊的草更綠嗎?

今天的貨代生意預判下來一整年下來感覺并不會特別的容易，原因很簡單，我感覺流量并不像以前那么好，沒有那么多消息進來，有時候甚至會感覺比較閑，希望這不是幻覺。
我感覺我是一個本質上做流量生意的貨代，現在每天思考著如何寫一千字，想著各種主題，但是好像，越來越沒有靈感，我持有的信仰就像口袋里的偽鈔，雖然光彩奪目，但是什么都兌換不了。
可能是還沒有頓悟，在微博上看一個USPS的員工想去UPS的問題，下面那句，Is the grass any greener on your side of the fence??? I am at my wits end圍欄那邊的草更綠嗎？我快要絕望了，
可能這是多數人的腦袋里的另一個想法。
我應該提供什么內容，或者這個方向本身或者是個偽命題，沒有人能一直持續不斷，保持高產。內容帶給人信心，又讓人懷疑。我也沒一個好的答案.
我們來看其他人的評論：

As someone who made this transition last year. I would say the grass is greener on the other side. I went from Rural Carrier at USPS to RPCD at UPS.
作為去年經歷這種轉變的人，我會說彼岸的草更綠。我從美國郵政服務 Rural Carrier 轉到 UPS 的 RPCD。

However, while I feel the grass is greener. To give you a brief idea, there are things that should be noted. I work twice as much as I did at the post office. I was working 30 hours weeks, I now work about 50-60. Around here you can work up to 14 hours in a day. The packages I deal with are generally quite a bit larger than the SPRS that I was routinely dealing with at the PO.
然而，雖然我覺得彼岸的草更綠。為了給你一個簡要的概念，有些事情需要注意。我現在工作的時間是我在郵局工作時間的兩倍。我以前每周工作 30 小時，現在大約工作 50-60 小時。在這里，你一天可以工作多達 14 小時。我處理的包裹通常比我在郵局經常處理的 SPRS 要大得多。

Healthcare & Teamsters union is miles better than the NRLCA.
醫療保健和 Teamsters 工會比 NRLCA 好得多。

Lastly, being hired as a driver off the street is incredibly rare. From what I've been told by others here and drivers in my center, it's almost damn near impossible and I should be counting my blessings as the usual path to driver is starting from the inside.
最后，從街上被聘為司機是非常罕見的。根據我在這里和我中心的其他人以及司機告訴我的內容，這幾乎是不可能的，我應該算自己幸運，因為司機的常規路徑是從內部開始。

But, warehouse workers are paid more than $19 per hour. What are the daily hours like? Work/home balance? Pension? 401k match?
但是，倉庫工人的時薪超過 19 美元。每天的工作時間如何？工作與家庭的平衡？養老金？401k 匹配？

I am 6 months away from all of those things with the PO. After 2 years of part time city carriers (rural rules are different), you are automatically converted to careered status and better benefits. Slight pay increase. Better PTO and finally sick leave.
我距離這些事情還有 6 個月的時間。在成為全職城市郵遞員之前（農村規則不同），你將自動轉為事業狀態并享有更好的福利。輕微的薪資增加。更好的帶薪休假，最后有病假。

Well, you won't get that many hours at UPS, but your body will be abused. It's a lot of physical work and will probably take you years to get into a position with less manual labor, such as feeders....and even they can be forced to work inside until they have enough seniority.
嗯，你在 UPS 不會得到那么多小時，但你的身體會受到摧殘。這是很多體力活，可能需要幾年時間才能進入一個較少體力勞動的職位，比如裝卸工……即使是他們也可能被迫在有足夠資歷之前在室內工作。

Edited to add: the pay is better, though. It also takes 9 months before benefits kick in (your region may vary). You will start as a part time worker, even after you join the union you are only guaranteed 3.5 per day. Many regions take 3-7 years to go full time, but sometimes you can get there much faster!
編輯后補充：薪水更好。福利需要等待 9 個月才能生效（可能因地區而異）。即使加入工會，你也只能保證每天 3.5 小時的工作。許多地區需要 3-7 年才能成為全職員工，但有時你可以更快達到那個目標！

好不好無所謂，別人的評價看法也不是那么多重要，真正重要的是如何生成好的內容，然后就是繼續保持每天能有激情的寫，最終來講還是掌握在自己手上。雞湯是沒有用的，圍欄那邊的草不一定更綠。
不管視頻怎么發展，文字還是能觸達人心，更方便檢索。
