[QUOTE="hoser, post: 230241, member: 6357"] Do the job to the best of your abilities, safely and properly. Don't try to impress anyone, because they won't get impressed. Go off your training. If you didn't receive anything, do it to the best of your ability (and again, safely and properly). They can't fire you (even on probation) because you did something wrong without even telling you that it was wrong. This is why UPS is such a gong show, everything is half assed. Once you get seniority, you can really have fun with working as trained, and quite frankly, northing's gonna change unless you load an entire trailer incorrectly because you were never told about how to properly load into it. People quit on the spot all the time, you just haven't seen it yet. Two wheeler? They don't give you the four wheelers? I love it when I get loads like that, because I don't get stressed out very easily, I take my time, work safely and properly. They can't fire me because it took me (or you) longer to offload a truck stacked like crap. Then you can re-sort everything the way you like it because it wasn't sorted to begin with. This means more pay for you and a message is sent to management by means of lower productivity and possible service failures (and please don't give me the "we're here for the customer" crap. I am here for the customer, but if I get hurt, I can't be there for the customer. Management doesn't listen to us, which proves they don't care about the customer. Therefore, this is why I do what I do.) You can't resort your load if it's done right (on PAS) right? This place is a game. If they give you that kind of crap, send a very clear message to them by working properly and within the standards. Nothing may change, and hey, if it doesn't, you're obviously doing something right. We have a new center manager whose pretty smart, so I do everything by the book, and this means I ask him what I am supposed to do and I work EXACTLY as directed. If he says "leave now, deliver it like that and don't re-sort your car", I'll do just that and I won't give lip. Then when I arrive on scene, I will call the center manager and ask him how I can properly work out of this unsafe situation. They talk to you condescendingly and angrily, but I love that because I am not doing anything wrong. If everyone did that, things WOULD change.
