[QUOTE="freelabor, post: 1226153, member: 50564"] Hi everyone, new hire here. After 3 1/2 years of wasted time, I left the Small Purple Dog on September of this year and started for Brown in late October. Was told this was a permanent package handler position. They emphasized the word "permanent" through both tours, both interviews and orientation. I was hired on to do preload and have a heavy four car set. Been on the job for about 2 and 1/2 weeks. Showed up to work everyday and on time with plenty of time to spare. Also never missed a safety committee training. I do my best to make sure my set is all cleaned and caught up. When the sups notice I keep my set and work space clean, they send me to other belts to help other preloaders with their sets. The drivers I load for also seem happy with the load quality. Now my dilemma is, I had an OFF the job injury this past weekend and the emergency doctor gave me a note stating I should have one days rest before going back to work. Which made me upset because I seriously don't want to miss any days. I went to work yesterday morning and handed the note to my sup, had a chat with another sup and I told them I should be good to go by tomorrow, but they were iffy and said I should see the Clinic. I got sent home. Went to work this morning, same thing.. sent home. So I went to the clinic when they opened up and I told them UPS sent me here to verify that I would be able to work. The clinic front desk told me I had to go to my usual doctor to get a work release. Got annoyed so I left and called my normal doctor for an appointment and now I'm just waiting for a return call. I hate wasting time. What it boils down to is, how high of a chance is it that I'm going to lose my job? I'm trying to stay optimistic that I won't but my gut is telling me other wise..
