[QUOTE="pgraening, post: 52489"] Opie, rushfan is sooo right. Stay with it. I have made huge changes in my life for this job, because I like it, and, thanks to my attitude and my willingness to improve, I've been approved for seniority. It took me a while to get there but now I'm happy. As for work methods, DO NOT let anyone who shows bad habits tell you what to do. We have a person like that in our hub, and he is yelled at often enough for his safety habits that his advice is pretty useless. As for the making a sup lift an O-70, sorry folks, I know, union brothers should lift it, but when you're understaffed you just gotta go with the flow. We are not as militant as some people are when it comes to supervisors helping out, because we just want to get the job done, not bicker over who gets to do it. An "us vs. them" mentality won't make things any better. As for the women, and other workers, don't try to compete with anyone, not yet. Give yourself a few months to get used to the workout - you can't just jump right it and hit the same speeds as a 2-year veteran unloader. I tried doing that my first night, and you know what happened? I threw up. Pace yourself the first few weeks and you'll be glad you did. Have fun! [/QUOTE]
