Just keep an open mind, stuffs gonna happen fast, seems like Chaos at times just roll with it. Work by the book til you're in the union, they can get rid of you for anything until then.
And yet I'm sure without ups, you'd be scooped up quickly somewhere else right???
You hate this job and the union that provides those benefits and yet without it, you probably wouldn't end up much better than those you like to generalize.
You were hired off the street.... congrats...
But if you last. Come back in 2 years and tell us how you feel
I swear, you will completely understand how we feel...
Good luck. Most importantly drive safe out there
