For those of you who know me and supported me while I was being hired by UPS, I want to thank you. But I forsee my UPS career comming up a little short right now.
This last Thursday I was not paid. No paper check, no direct deposit. I let my direct sup, FT & PT know I had concerns when my pay stub didn't look like on Thursday (Bank account numbers missing). They told me not to worry and everything would be okay. They gave me their personal cell numbers to call if something wasn't.
So when Friday afternoon rolled around and I was not paid, I attempted to contact both of them by the provided numbers and didn't get a response.
Living paycheck to paycheck sucks, but I huffed it out. Sunday rolls around and I go into work and they tell me they can't do anything about it till today, but that a REAL check won't be here till Wednesday probably, or I can wait till Friday and have next weeks and last weeks deposited.
I told them this was an issue for me as my paycheck gets me to and from work, lunch and accounts for half of my daughters childcare that I split with my wife. ($40 in gas, usually about $75 for childcare, and vending machine money about $20 a week.)
I told my sups I may very well not be able to come in if I can't go to Cash 1 and get a payroll advance or something. My training sup pretty much told me if I can't or don't come into work I will be fired. Plain and simple.
I have tried everything I can do to get my hands on even $10 for gas and I can't ****ing locate any money. So I guess I will be fired today, I've already called and let them know I wouldn't be comming in. Funny how they answer their phones now.
Even if I could make it into work today, tomorrow and wednesday before I receive a check will make things extremely hard.
Im just at a complete loss for words now. This sucks. Suggestions? Im going to call the union as soon as they open, even though Im only 2 months in, hopefully they can help.
