[QUOTE="TheFigurehead, post: 1262793, member: 49302"] I don't think it's a work ethic problem. UPS starting pay is about a generation behind what it ought to be. People were starting out at UPS a decade ago for, more or less, (nearly) the same starting pay. What was (at least approaching) a square deal 10 - 20 years ago, is laughable now. Add to that that guys in their early 20's don't value health insurance as much as older folks with kids, etc... and what's their motivation to show up? On top of that, UPS doesn't value or respect their employees (especially part time package handlers)... why would anyone expect a bunch of underpaid kids to give more respect to their employer than their employer gives them? By the time one finishes their probation, the situation is clear... UPS will work you as hard as you let them, as unsafe as you let them, and put you at as much risk as you let them. No one will be looking out for you except you. Add to that that whenever a cold snap happens, half the building calls out. The people that do show up, instead of being thanked for bothering to come, are just worked harder and longer. Management, unhappy that they won't meet their numbers, takes the opportunity to take their displeasure out on those around them. What's the motivation to show up? I don't blame them one bit.
