..and superbelt - we have something in common!!!!
I worked for UPS, hadda load 4 frickin trucks, from 3am to 7am or so my last couple of years in college. It was a bitch, but a fun way to start the day (especially unloading those 40 ft tractor trailors), goin all out for 3-4 hours straight as soon as you wake up.
Anyway - I should make my point i guess (I never got tuition reimbursement!!!! that's fucked up...). But from the company's standpoint - if they were trying to take that benefit away. I'd imagine in order to make a significant impact in your tuition over the course of 3 years of college that would have meant contributing thousands and thousands of dollars. Probably more than your total income, great for you but what kind of sense does that make. I don't know when you worked there but i worked there from 94-97, part time at 8.50 an hour. I don't see how they are obligated to pay for your tuition - especially when you clearly are not going to college to benefit UPS, like you said your outta there now. It'd be different if you were going to college and your education were somehow in the future going to be put to use for that company.
