[QUOTE="dillweed, post: 227945, member: 5938"] Interesting stuff here. Our center manager says that no one can move from a skilled position to unskilled, even taking the dollar pay cut. Many people who have busted butt for years would give their eye teeth to have one of those easy jobs. We even had a gal who was pregnant and wanted the PAL position but they made her go on leave instead of letting her work through. They hire in new people for the SPA and data aq jobs, people who will not handle heavy packages at all. Between trailers they just stand and yak, play on their cell phones or stare into space. No one tells them to help the person next to them or do any tape-ups. Some are little ornamental girlies with daisy duke shorts but others are big, muscular guys who seem pretty happy to SPA while some little slip of a gal grunts along unloading trailers. :mad: Our center seems determined to get the people they want into certain jobs and make up eligability requirements as they go along.
