Hello, I've got a question. I've been working at a hub for just about a year and a half. When I was hired I was told that after working for a full year I would be able to switch to a different sort. I'm currently on midnight and would like to switch to twilight. Before I get the "sign the bid sheet" response I would like to say that I have signed it and unfortunately I'm about 15 people down on the list. Obviously in this economy I'm not going to make a fuss to switch sorts but I was wondering if this is the absolute only way to switch.
And if it's the only way to switch is there any way to find out when spots are actually being filled? I saw two new hires a couple weeks ago on midnight and I just hope that they aren't hiring any on Twilight when there are plenty of bids for those spots.
I was also wondering if I need to type up a "letter of intent" and hand it into my full timer for approval in advance. The reason I'm curious is because I know a fellow worker who has less seniority than I do and basically gave UPS an ultimatum. He told them that he needs to switch to Twilight or he has to quit.(Due to education scheduling conflict) He was told to wait until August and they would try and switch him over to twilight. He typed a letter of intent and is much friendlier with my full timer than I am. Is there any way this person is going to get switched before me just because he's friendlier with the full time sup?I just want to make sure that there is no special way that he could be getting switched to twilight before I do seeing as I have a couple months more seniority than he does.
Thanks for your responses in advance.(and sorry for the extra info that might not be pertinent)
