[QUOTE="toonertoo, post: 157132, member: 1944"] You make some very good points and it sounds like you truly care about doing your job, which is becoming rare. Its so hard to find people who actually want to work, and the fact that the wage is the same to start as it was 20 yrs ago, isnt very enticing. Then 8 bucks an hour I doubled my minimum wage job, in half the hours, and had benefits. Now its going to be just above the new minimum wage. Although the benefits count for a lot if you need them, and I think they have tuition reimbursement also. The off the street hires are a little slow to learn, that every job at UPS is measured, and disected to run efficient, hence the constant push, push, to do more in less time. But I think it will soon get to the point of diminished return, because I think everyone is about at the level of going as fast, as they safely can. I can speak for most of the drivers, we know our loaders are pushed to the hilt, and we do appreciate them, because as you stated, many of them have been there before. The loaders who I have seen have a real hard time, are the ones who barely had any training, and the other loaders trying to help him learn, but most are so swamped they dont have time to help. And I think you actually learn more from each other anyway. Have a great weekend. [/QUOTE]
