[QUOTE="insipidtoast, post: 1914406, member: 60790"] Nope, no benefits whatsoever. On-call. No union representation or protection for the first 90 worked days. Only guaranteed one-day per week of work. Parcel delivery isn't nearly as bad as mail delivery in my opinion, because you don't have to spend hours organizing papers. Yes, there's a lot to be said for dealing with management. Bad managers can make an otherwise easy job a very unpleasant experience. How is the management at UPS? Are they trained to give positive reinforcement at all? For myself and most people for that matter, I perform better when management compliments how I'm doing. I can't stand to be in a negative environment, and now understand why people go postal. Telling people that they're not fast enough is the stupidest management technique, because it lowers morale and often acheives the opposite of the desired result. That's psychologically proven. When I worked as a driver helper, I received lots of praise for a job well-done, which motivated me to go faster and have a more positive attitude towards the job. [/QUOTE]
