Hello everyone!
Story time,
I worked at UPS for about 3 years. One year as a PT Package Handler and two as a PT Supervisor. Very quickly in I realized management wasn’t for me but stuck it out because I loved all the union members on my wall and didn’t want to leave them.
I made my decision to leave prior to peak, got a FT job while working as a PT Sup and told them of my decision and that I was sticking out the entirety of peak. After peak I reinformed them and put my two weeks in fully expecting to be placed on a no rehire registry regardless.
Last week I just check to see if I was eligible for submitting an application and to my surprise, I was. I seen that they were hiring package handlers and put my application in. Shortly after I got contacted with a starting date and time by an automated text and another later in the week by my old boss reiterating the start date and time and asking if I am going to show.
Fast forward, the date arrives. I show up, my name is on the list for Orientation and we begin. 20 minutes in, the very same boss that personally texted me pulls me aside to a side office and tells me I can’t come back as a union member, only straight back into management.
Would this have played out differently if I applied to a Hub I didn’t previously work at? I figured if they let me back in it would start a chain reaction management didn’t want with other PT Supervisors.
I’m not upset I expected it to go similarly to how it played out but I am surprised I made it as far as I did.
