[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 249938, member: 9789"] I have read most of the posts about the part timers. I guess where I have a problem is the fact that it sounds like some of the PT employees feel they are entitled. The PT job is just that...a PT job. Let's put it another way, how much credibility would you give a complaint by a burger flipper at the golden arches that he/she can't live on the wages they make???? I can see where VT Brown has a point... Oh ...by the way...those 10,000 (22.3) combo jobs are still out there and there is a lot of movement in the positions. There is always a combo person that is trying to move into a better job ...whether it is a driver job or a better combo job. This creates movement and openings for others. In my old district, the average seniority for a 22.3 job is 2.5 to 4 years. I know this figure varies accross the country. I think that a lot of PT understand what they are getting into when they accept the PT job...they just figure they will get their foot in the door and they will make things change....Those folks that feel that way are immature and are not living in the real world. Again, they think they are entitied. Quit complaining and make your life better through education or job search that fits the life stlye you want. My wife worked 2 jobs while I went to school and worked PT so that we could live the way we wanted. We did without for a lot of years and thanked God every day for what we had. We were 20 years old when we got married and we are still happily married today. When I went full time, I continued my education at night and spent the entire weekend studying. My wife did a man's job and made $1000 less a month because she was a women. We did not whine or complain...about discrimination, we dealt with it and continued to thank God for what we had. When you feel like life is handing you lemons you should take those lemons and make lemonade! Don't blame UPS for the PT job you ACCEPTED. Be thankful for the opportunities that lie ahead! [/QUOTE]
