[QUOTE="mattyk624, post: 1838215, member: 59708"] Sounds like the people in charge of getting you trained/familiarized are really :censored:ty at their job. Don't be afraid to speak the truth if it's something that's actually a problem is the one thing I learned quick. As in asking where p42 belt is...or when someone spouts 'get to work', simply reply that you've been trained to do 0 things so far and ask if he's your supervisor (it's actually an acceptable question for a newbie to ask someone who's commanding him to do things, so he can't get even get mad). The other day I was asked by some manager I haven't seen before to sign out of my scanner and run recycle since our belt was slow (I'm only a month at UPS thusfar)...I said to him I don't know how to do either of those things, he kinda did some douchy eye-roll, and walked away. I'm a loader too and never had to sign out of my scanner b4...and we have other guys on the floor who take care of recycle....some things require training, so don't feel embarassed or ashamed to ask for help at first until you get the gist of things. In my case, the manager could've taken 5secs to show me how to logout of my scanner and referred me to a supe or someone more experienced to explain how recycle works...instead he took that time, and then some, to hunt down someone else when he could've made me a little better employee instead. Just do what you know how to do to the best of your ability and don't let other peoples' inadequacy, incompetence, misery, or big mouth discourage you. As a loader everyone says the first week is the hardest, and that's where the majority of people are likely to quit, but if you can make it past that you'll be okay. Good luck :cool: [/QUOTE]
