I just went through the mapp process and go into a sup class training Monday. Then my training manager tells me it just canceled last min and another one perhaps in a week. i had my test last min, and met the div manager last min. nothing is in advance. My HUB(NY) was supposedly in need of sups. Now I am anddiscouraged dont even want to work anymore. been there two years, but im getting burned out. should i wait or just quit, my career just ground to a halt. i dont know if they are bull****ing me or stringing me along. My ft doesnt seem to care, just cares about me loading heavy ass boxes forever for 150 a week, (no support) while he watches for 1500 a week. Has anyone experienced this?
The thing about this, and any other job, is that the door is always open. If you're not comfortable with how you are treated, don't wait till you have many more years to decide you've had enough. By then you will have developed an attitude toward your job and employee's, as many already have. Though the choice is yours, I say fly away while you still can. Go find your dream job that doesn't have these hassles. You'll be a better person for making this choice.
*Note to all readers: In no way am I saying that UPS is a bad company, or that all mgmt personel have poor attitudes toward the UPS employee's. I am merely saying that I see the OP is frazzled and hasn't had a good experience with what we would call normal, here at UPS. There are plenty of places for the OP to go that would probably be more suitable. Best wishes!
Perhaps they are simply testing your patience and how you respond to changing conditions.
Or they could just be screwing with you.
LOL, the old, both sides of the coin, eh?
Ok, I admit, maybe in some areas of the U.S. where cost of living is 3rd world levels and they were extremely smart with their money. Sure, there were PT employees that made out like bandits when the company was privately traded from what I have heard and read. There are exceptions to most every rule. In this day and age, the average PT sup in a moderate market area is not retiring comfortably as a PT employee with no other income. **Just IMO**

Sleeve, most PT'ers I know have a primary source of income and just use UPS's part time position for the bennie's. I know one girl who has over 16 years as a part timer, and is quite comfortable doing exactly this, though she is fully eligible to drive and has turned down the driver position many times.
