Got snapped at by a clerk for being early and setting up the belt?

[By The Book]

Yeah. Not a bad idea. The clerk has been there for 11 years so maybe I should heed her advice while I can.

Yes, respect your elders. Maybe you could do the inside windows of the package cars, that'll help the drivers.

Preloader a few years ago grieved that drivers coming in early off the clock setting up their trucks was costing her hours because management would just send her home early. Won the grievance and drivers were instructed that working off the clock would be considered for discipline up to termination. Did not make her very popular because that was the drivers reason for coming in early and working. "Makes my job easier".

That would be car wash work. Supervisor told us we are not to clean any of the package cars unless the driver requested it. And only then if you have time.

I dont want any union drama. or any drama at work. I want to be a driver so bad but I'm afraid I'll mess it up if I don't kiss ass. Just my mentality.

This place is like an episode of the Kardashians sometimes. No drama is not the UPS way

Plus if you get injured at UPS working off the clock.........

I won't even sign a paper or take a Diad training unless I'm on the clock

Bingo!!!!!

You're covered. But it's an easy way to get terminated

 

[What The Hawk?]

Plus if you get injured at UPS working off the clock.........

Yeah. All signs and people with seniority all tell me to stop. I won't do it anymore.

 

[Brownslave688]

Just a rant. I get to work 20 - 40 minutes early everyday. Clerk saw me setting up the belt like she has many times and says "wish you guys would stop coming in early and working off the clock". I tried to explain that I was just setting up cause it helps me get ready to just start loading my PCs. Nobody else on my belt knows how to do it, or they just wont. I also do it because as soon as the belt turns on the send agains on the belt start moving down and will keep going if i don't have the blocker on. It takes 5 minutes to set it up and bring up my send agains. I don't see what the issue is. Makes the start of my day easier.

You are still covered while on company property.

The downfall of salary. Always on the clock.

If you want to drive, after peak sign up for Sat. air and air exception driver. Then this Summer do vacation cover. Good way to get your foot in the door and decide if this is really the job for you.

That's what you signed up for

 

[FrigidFTSup]

I'll take the benefits of salary over the downfalls any day.

 

[What The Hawk?]

Ok. Thanks guys. I gotta go to bed though. Start at 3 tomorrow.
