[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1694054, member: 43436"] I think the older generation wants so hard to believe this so they feel more important. Comparison of different eras at the building I work in: UPS Preload in 1999 [when I hired in] - $9.50/hour - eligible for benefits after 30 days - 5-hour shifts, start time didn't deviate during the week - all new hires were guaranteed at least three days per week to begin with - loaders averaged 350-400 packages between the three cars they were assigned to load - bagels & doughnuts every Friday, upgraded to full breakfast first Friday of each month - plenty of other free grub, including Founder's Day and a buffet spread right before Christmas - gift card incentive program that recognized employees for perfect attendance, no misloads, high load quality, going out of their way to do something safe (picking up hub snake, etc.), mentoring a new hire without being told to do so, etc. - "Safety Bucks" that could be used to purchase gloves, shoes (from the mobile shoe van that came 2x year), etc. - Christmas turkeys UPS Preload in 2015: - $10/hour - not eligible for benefits for 1 year - 3-hour shifts with staggered start times -- have to ask for 3.5 hours - new hires are on-call, may only be called in 3 times in their first month working less than 10 hours total - loaders average 800-900 packages between the three cars they are assigned to - absolutely no food recognition - not even on Founder's Day ------ Maybe people are shunning UPS for mall jobs not because they're lazy but because... THEY'RE BETTER JOBS!!! [/QUOTE]
