[QUOTE="TheFigurehead, post: 1229128, member: 49302"] [FONT=verdana] Well, that's sort of what I meant by "quality people". The bar is pretty low at UPS. The people they hire in my center [I]can't[/I] do the job... even by the end of the probationary period. They should be shown the door, but they're the only ones left, so they keep the position. The seasonal help they've got should have been screened out in the interview process... but they need bodies, and these are the only ones that applied, so I get to work with them. $10 an hour with a dollar after 90 days might be a little more in line with getting "adequate" employees.
