Hired off the street

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

You likely would.

Doubtful.

Doubtful.

If you had worked inside "for peanuts" (as you called it) and finally had enough juice to go full-time YOU would definitely had been pissed if some cherry from out of nowhere, or pimple faced part-time sup, came in and was given the position that you had rightly earned and deserved. Especially if you had a family and were working two or three jobs as a part of you doing your part to support your family. Thats just human nature and you are no different.

Dave is different.
He is completely void of any/all emotion and has one mission.

Here he is before putting on his "humanoid" disguise:

I've been called worse by better.

You've been called worse by everyone in here, deservingly so.

Thank you for proving my point.

The correct word is "deservedly".

You need a girlfriend...seriously.

You'd think differently about off the streets if you had been one of the people (including veterans) that DID bust their ass working inside, many for ten or more years, only to be passed over.

Let us not worry about that which we have no control.

I would agree with that if I didn't remember that as a dues paying member of the Teamsters union I am part of the contract proposal process.

Like I've always said ...vote to change it.

Exactly! I actually suggest that everytime.

I think if an inside employee failed at driving, their next opportunity should be 6 months regardless. The company has been able to pass over too many inside employees by having 1 and 2 year wait times. The employee can obviously turn it down.

I would rather see UPS only hire off the street whenever they are unable to obtain someone from within from the part-time pool. That should be rare though.

Just curious, did you read my post?

Yes. That's what I mean. And it does happen nowadays but not often. And never in my area.

Now I've gone from nervous of my decision, to feeling like a dick for jumping on the opportunity. I didn't know any of this going in. I was told there's an opportunity and I jumped on it.

This should be interesting....

Oh, it will be interesting , no doubt.
Let us know how it goes.

That's all that matters---the rest is just crap.

Actually, not rare here. None of the part-timers want to drive. They know the truth.

Just let us know.....
