[QUOTE="chuchu, post: 865052"] I was hired off the street in 1995 when we had "self directed" work groups. They sent me to an 8 hr. "school" that had NO diad training (nor diad training manuals) and the instructor didn't even know how to use a diad. I was trained on route for TWO days by a driver and then I was on my own. I lost 18 lbs in my first 30 days (went from 170lbs to 152lbs) but I qualified. I am glad I was trained by a driver or I may have not qualified or even stayed. I've learned alot about UPS management since that period and can say the honeymoon was over within 90 days after my trial period. It is discouraging to remember how the job looked from the outside versus what really happens to employees on the inside....especially since UPS stock went public. We must protect and promote seniority issues because without seniority protection and decent pay/benefits this job would not be worth the hassle we get. P.S./Our customers rely on us and appreciate us for consistantly taking care of THEIR businesses and that is what UPS employees are all about. As much as we can, we need to fight to keep our routes consistant or we will digress to our competitors service levels and eventually lose the one thing that made UPS strong, being reliable and timely every day.
