[QUOTE="km3, post: 1834733, member: 56117"] I sympathize with you as far as working as directed is concerned. Insubordination never looks good, especially when you're still in training. If somebody asks for help, do what you can for them though. When you see those carts coming, just move to the side and wait if there's only room for one of you. Same goes for package cars. You're not going to get in trouble for waiting a minute or two for an irreg cart to get out of the way. As for other employees, some of them are just messing with you. The others may have had their spirits shattered by this job, so they're pissed off at everyone and everything. We have a few of them around here. :) Try to stick it out. It takes a while, but it'll get better. The benefits will be worth it if you can manage to stick around, and the opportunity to become a driver making $30+/hr is great incentive to stick around as well. In my hub, everybody thinks about quitting within the first few weeks. I even considered walking out without even bothering to punch out a few times. The approximate length of employment for most new hires around here is about 3 weeks. Week 1: Cornerstone/classroom training. Week 2: On the job training with a trainer to help you out. Week 3: First week in the trailers alone. Week 4: Stop showing up for work. [/QUOTE]
