[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 52486"] Jonny B, I am glad I re-read your post. I thought it said that my best freind came into the shower........well Im just glad I re-read I got to work 6 days before Christmas, and then was laid off. I liked the work, and it fit into my school life, so I made a royal pain out of myself. Every morning on the way to school, I would stop by the center. On February 3rd they told me to start again on the 4th. Said "well since you are here anyway, you might as well work". I think that UPS likes people to be motivated to go after the job. I guess they figure that if you work hard to get the job, you will work hard to keep it also. History is full of people that were rejected. The difference between the loosers and the winners is that the winners never quit, no matter how many times they were turned down. History is also full of loosers that had they known how close they really were to the goal, they might have kept on. But they didnt. Now 30 years later I have just one small bit of advice for newcomers. Find a good worker that has been around for a long while and let him mentor you. You can learn a lot from him like working smart instead of hard. And most of the "lifers" at UPS will take you under their wings to help if you ask. Many of the part time management only care about numbers. To them you are just that, something to get the job done. They have their own little world to work in. But as others have said, stay in school and get your degree. Then if your future and UPS can mesh, go for it. The best! d [/QUOTE]
