[QUOTE="UPSaxel, post: 776266, member: 31046"] Becoming a sorter isn't all that grand. Starting off as an unloader a year ago during peak season, I was happy for 4-5 months, then it became mind-numbingly boring. Also I kept getting the worst trucks to unload and was a little sour I must admit. So I took the sort test, got on the sort isle and it was great. I of course was stuck in the middle of the line up since I was the new guy, but I was working hard so that I could move down towards one of the ends where the load is a bit lighter. Lo and behold we get a few new hires on the sort isle, straight to the sort aisle with their extra dollar. After 3 nights they pass me on their way to the ends of the line while I am stuck in the middle. 5-6 new hires have come and moved down the line while I sit peachy in the middle. Now I will do anything that involves not being on the sort aisle, unload, hardware, I'm not picky. While the extra dollar sorting is nice, I personally don't think it is worth it, stay as a loader. You can go get a sip of water any time you want, you can move your legs and walk around for a minute when you need, all of these things are nigh impossible to come by on the sort aisle. Also being a hard worker, I fit in a bit more with the unloaders who work fast to go home, vs. most of the sorters who work slow to get paid. [/QUOTE]
