[QUOTE="Anonymous George20, post: 383445"] Hello. I've been at ups for over 9 years now. friend/t for 7 of them. In our contract I believe were 25.11. I do ramp/preload. I become less happy all the time with my job. They just switched everything around on the ramp again and put me with a crew of about 8 other people that all hate each other and just want to get each other in trouble. This just really sends me a signal that I want to leave. I'm also worried about safety at this job. I have a fear of heights and climbing up and down ladders in the middle of winter really bothers me. We also had someone killed at our center by a feeder. The driver was actually kicked out of another center for being a bad driver and they thought sending him to us would cure the problem. I struggle to sleep during the day and a few hours before work I start having a panic attack. I have anxiety problems and it makes it tough to go into work. I have talked with the union and anyone else and found no way back to part time. I'm tempted to sell my house and move back in with my parents so I can go to college. We have a community college right here in town. I wonder how I would get insurance and wasn't sure if some colleges offer some kind of discount plan for it too. If not I would have to go work at a grocery store in town that offers insurance which really isn't what i want to do. I don't know if I should just embrace the job and make the best of it or get out now. I'm 27 and would like to make a choice soon. I would enjoy working on computers but I've heard there really isn't a lot of money in it now. Even a basic job like geek squad I would be taking over a 10$ /hour pay cut just to start out. I don' really know what I want to do. If I really want to quit and go to college I don't even know what i want to take. Any advice from some long time upsers? Wish you would of done something different? Or is there really anything better for a working class citizen like me? thanks [/QUOTE]
