[QUOTE="UnconTROLLed, post: 733661, member: 18708"] There is no right and wrong at UPS. extendo; every member of management has their own interpetation of the "correct" use of it, therefore you cannot possibly have any consistency in it's application usage. Same with loadstands. In my first 2 months at UPS, I was actually given a broken loadstand once and told to just keep it in the trailer! I asked for a good one, they said they didn't have one! Over 70s - ask for help, one day you are a hero (anyone see the safety cards the sups hand out for safe work behaviours??) Next day, ask for Teamster help on an over 70 and you'll get pulled from the trailer and sent somewhere else. The sup tosses it out. Egress? You're buried up to your eyebrows in stacks, or just loose flow. Literally. Action: Stop the belt to clean up your work area. Result: either (1) you are in the office, or again being verbally abused for an operations/package flow slowdown. Or perhaps, you are praised for your work ethic and safe work behaviour another day. Though that is a longshot by this example. I could go on and on. Bottom line: There is no consistency. Drivers, inside, clerks, etc etc. Every day a new flavor and a new meaning. All you can do is take it for what it is, try not to get hurt, and be a little selfish. [/QUOTE]
