[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1157031, member: 43436"] The metrics you mentioned are fairly typical of new hires here -- as well as many long-term incumbent employees -- but I believe you worked within one of UPS's newest, automated facilities so I'm uncertain as to how that would impact the job. Typically, they look for people who are capable of handling the hours / work, and show improvement over their first 30 days. It could be that you work within a high-performance sort and didn't fit in. It could be that you work in a sort struggling with its performance, and management is seeking high-achieving employees to fill the void. It could be that you rubbed somebody the wrong way, or they saw attributes of your personalty/work ethics they didn't like. It could be that you worked under the direction of some 20-year-old given total leverage who thinks that by making decisions like these, he'll being going FT tomorrow. There's just a multitude of reasons it could be. I will tell you this: I recently turned 30, and have been working the Preload since I was 17. For my established skills, I received decent compensation from UPS through the years so I cannot complain. But it's a miserable place to work, and I know that unlike most of the PTers I work with, I have a brain and could've done better. Much better. The 3.5 hour job puts 8 hours worth of work on your body, and more than that for your resting cycle. And the people I work with ... most of the PTers wouldn't even know their own name if it wasn't broadcast on ESPN ... they'll bully and taunt other employees all..day..long, but when something's said that they don't like, they'll whine & cry to management. And if they're friends with the right people, guess who gets in trouble? (Among other privileges.) Find something you enjoy doing, go to school if you have to, just consider this to be a blessing, keep your head up & better yourself. But I am surprised it's happening in Eagan. Delta Airline's decision to close most of the remaining former Northwest Airlines HQ & campuses must've hit the area pretty hard... [/QUOTE]
