[QUOTE="gingerkat, post: 1220040, member: 43502"] Why does it really matter who gets the crappy job for crappy pay? If the insiders don't feel like busting their hump early in the am and then going out and doing it all over for crappy pay, it really shouldn't matter. At orientation on Monday only 3 insiders, showed up. I wasn't going to the helper thing again, but since I have my own business and make my own hours, why not? The kid that runs the neighborhood route begged me to do it, so why not get paid to "tone-up" while helping him. I think he's happy he won't have to go through 6 helpers this year. On a side note, I thought UPS had a training protocol that was about the same …wrong! Last year I was at a different hub and they drilled safety, like they were supposed to, and did an excellent job with just about everything. This year at the one by my home, they didn't even show helpers how to pick up a box or the three points of contact. No diad training, actually, no diad at all to see what it looks like. At least the HR guy thanked me for helping him instruct the orientation class… I wonder if I'll get two checks? I even said I wouldn't be ready until the following week, but I got a call the next day. Err… couldn't let my guy down, so I did a quick 8" hem and got out there. Good luck to all you drivers and I know some of you hate helpers. Hopefully you'll be patient and remember most have never done this and probably got very little training. Oh and I think the biggest thing… most of us helpers really just want to do well for our drivers. [/QUOTE]
