[QUOTE="jibbs, post: 1399889"] No-call no-shows are pretty bad to do when you're on probation, but hey, man, I have a short story that might make you a bit more optimistic. I was hired August 2012, squeezed in right before they started hiring seasonals. I showed up every day 15min early [B]at least[/B], but I had an alarm clock :censored:-up and a power outage cause me to miss work a single time in each of my last two weeks on probation. Both ended up being no-call no-shows. I went above and beyond calling and friend*in' showed up around noon the first time it happened so I could speak in person with my manager (I only live a few miles from my center), but :censored:in' [B]nobody[/B] was there that I recognized, and when I asked the one person I saw that happened to be in browns if there were any of the preload management around, she said they had all either gone home or were on-road shuttling misloads. The second time I said :censored: the hassle and just showed up early the next day to apologize and explain. Still with UPS, juuuuuuuust about 2 years later. I'm not sure if they liked me or just desperately needed bodies for the upcoming peak that year (it's really, really probably the latter), but I think you should be alright if you're a decent worker. I can only speak from my own experience, though, and outside of Christmas-time I've seen several people fired after a couple no-call no-shows, but I also remember at least two guys that randomly vanished for like 2 weeks and just popped up back on the preload one day, no questions asked (publicly, I mean). So yeah, it could go either way. Try to get in touch with your management as soon as you possibly can, though. Looks better when you're proactive about apologizing, you know? [/QUOTE]
