Moving down the ladder

[Unloader4life]

I am a full time driver who wants to go to part time. Everyone is baffled by this. But it's what I want to do for personal reasons. (Finishing up school) However everyone tells me that the only way out is to quit. I would want to be a part time air driver, but it looks like I'm going to have to start fresh at the bottom again doing my specialty. (unloading) I wish it were easier to go from full to part but oh well. I took on being a driver expecting to only be seasonal but they offered me a full time position close to home so I just decided to jump on it. But now.. Anyways, how hard is it to become a part time air driver?

Couldn't HR hook you up as a new hire? Are you in a large hub?

What about transferring to a different hub/center?

From what I've heard from the hr guy, it's "up or out" at ups.

You're a worse liar than you are a driver.

You would think it wouldn't be an issue with all the people wanting to go driving.

 

[SCV good to go sir.]

From what I've been told, that's not possible. Going full time is like crossing the point of no return. I've been told that if you're cover that there's a way to go back to just being a hub worker, but I don't know if that's exclusive from failing probation.

If that's the option for you, I really don't see what the problem is. You're going back to school (presumably to leave UPS), just get another Saturday gig if all you care about is extra income.

I must say, I'm baffled.
