Nope. It's a 5 day a week job. That's what you signed up for.
No, they didn't lie. I let guys leave early daily to go home and study for an exam or do homework. Flexible isn't a day off. Flexible is ignoring you're late or giving you a day off here and there because you have 4 exams the next day.
I would argue, in my center at least, the PT Sup is the better option. Our center manager would laugh in your face if you asked him that.
You signed up for a 5 day a week job. That's what you get. If you want 4 days so you can party on Friday, well that just sucks, go work for Target.
I always love when guys tell me "Oh but I go to school." I go to school from 8-12 every day, internship 1230-515, and UPS from 545-1115. Does it suck? Sometimes. But UPS is about the perfect job for a college student IMO.
Well, if you do something, that must mean everyone else is capable of and should do the same thing. Makes sense to me. Your grades must be
e. And, obviously whether or not that's true, you're going to come back with, "I have a 4.0 GPA." Or whatever such and such GPA. And, even if that were true, *I* can't do it. I've tried. Thus this question. I'll just ask my FT. He's pretty chill anyway, so he probably will.
Sounds like you want to work when it's convenient for u.[/QUOTE]
Damn right. Do you say the same to union members wanting increased benefits? What would have happened if the people who unionized just said, "Oh, well, this is what we're offered, so we should just take it and man up and shut up about anything that helps us with our lives."
I go for what I want and what works best for me. Is that really a bad thing? I don't know how pretty much everyone here can just switch it up like it's the worst imaginable thing possible for me to want to work 4 days a week. What if I said the same about everyone wanting dental? "Oh, you just want benefits because they're beneficial to you." Ummm. Yeaaaah.
Flexible means letting you come in a few minutes late or leaving a few minutes early. Flexible does not mean working just a 4 day schedule.
Thing is, not only is it beneficial to me, it's beneficial to the hub, because I won't feel like I'm forced to work 5 days a week. If that turns out to be the case, I'll just start hardly doing anything like most of the other loaders. Take my time, and not bust my ass like I do now.
At my center, the parking lot is so packed, it's hard to find a spot to park. On Friday? The thing is half empty. At my hub, *every* Friday there are people not coming in. And a lot of them.
So, from my perspective, it's not like I'm asking for much, since people hardly come in here anyway.
This is my primary move. If it doesn't work out, then I've been told by a cover driver that they can work 2 or 3 days a week if they want to, then they make 18 an hour, so that works out better for me, anyway. I could work 15 hours a week and get paid the same as if I'd worked 25 as a loader.
