[QUOTE="RockinRobin, post: 1229253, member: 50986"] All good points, guys. Most of our PT new hires are kids. I mean barely out of High School. Some are lured by the "Tuition Reimbursement" and some just want the money. Many of them quit after the first day. Some last a few days, but most never make it past the first week. You can't keep good people with paying 9 bucks an hour and no bennies for a year, with the kind of labor involved with "most" beginning sort jobs at the HUBS. Loading trailers is no picnic Boo Boo. I'm in incredible shape, but I still get hand, wrist, elbow, back, leg, foot, toenail, fingernail, finger, toe, shoulder, butt, and hamstring pain. (Did I cover everything?) :) Tough job. Especially for 10 bucks an hour. If you are in it for the money, you'll go elsewhere. Quickly, unless that is your only option. Most can't see past six months or a year. I stuck it out, and am seeing some bennies. Many kids won't. That's the fact. Many of us also have FT jobs elsewhere, so we are not dependent on the pay. It's just mad money for us as a thank you for working out. Hey, I get paid to work out. How cool is that? Most businesses that have that high a turn-over are out of business. But as we all know, UPS simply has too much capital and simply can not fail. Unless some insane pitfall happens. And if that happens we'll all be gone, probably world-wide. This aside, turnover is an issue. UPS will continue to get more flow through the HUBS and without labor to Sort, it's going to be a challenge. A few of our SUPES and some very strong guys have worked until 2 or 3 AM on our Twilight. That's nuts. Rather than a 4 hour shift, you are talking a 9 or 10 hour shift. Ouch. The storm is coming. Well, Job Security for those of us brave enough (and strong enough) to stick it out! [/QUOTE]
