[QUOTE="drazzy93, post: 2426587, member: 64619"] Okay... 5,000 on a particularly busy day, but it is usually around 2,500 to 3,500. I may be new, but I know what I'm talking about. My supervisors are literally always raving to me about the job I'm doing. PT and FT supervisors have personally approached me to say, "You are the best employee in small sorts I've ever met in my life." Trust me, I know what I'm talking about. ALL of the baggers at my hub tried to become sorters, but I was the only one who passed the test run out of the current baggers. My coworker wants to sort really badly, but she's just too slow for it. I was used to bagging 5,000 packages in one night by the time I did my test run, and my supervisors knew they could count on me so I became a sorter much faster than everyone else. My supervisor told me specifically, "We're going to put you in sorting because we know you can keep up." A slow day might be 1,200 to 2,000, an average day is 2,500-3,500, a really busy day is 3,500 to 6,000. I know these are the right numbers because my supervisor is basically my friend, and there is also a computer in my hub that shows ALL the numbers for every bin. Small sorts is notoriously "easy," but the fact is that only the hard workers make it through probation in my hub. I seriously considered quitting multiple times in the beginning because I couldn't stand having 10 active bins needing to be emptied at any given time when I was bagging, but I toughed it out. I became the best employee out of everyone despite being the newest member, and then I watched newbies come in, then run for the door in the middle of their shifts. When I was sorting on Friday I had to yell at my bagger to hurry the hell up because I had a bin that had been full for 15 minutes straight. When I went around the bin, I saw him, drenched in sweat, panting, running back and forth. I remembered these days where I was like him, so I was nice enough to do the bins for him. The fact is that the small sorts hub at my location is NOT easy. [/QUOTE]
