[QUOTE="westsideworma, post: 389001"] sounds like we failed this person here. we're supposed to make people successful at UPS. I've yet to see a person not fit in somewhere at my building...problem is people don't notice it in time to move them then they get frustrated and leave. I hated unloading (boring I thought), but really liked loading the brownies. Within 3 days I was on a boxline permanently. I know it had nothing to do with me liking it and everything to do with them noticing I had a decent brain in my head (could memorize the alpha-charts). Thing is they noticed and moved me accordingly and it just worked out. This is what needs to happen to make people successful, train them for what they're originally planned for, if they can't hack it (give them time a day is not enough), visualize where you think they could fit. I had a guy who was sent to me because they thought he was a horrible loader, misloaded all the time etc. Turns out the PALs were messing him up. He had letters that looked similar at a quick glance like 57E and 57F for example and was getting misloads. He moved to my line where we use the first 4 letters of the drivers name (not route IDs) and low and behold the misloads were reduced. Different strokes for different folks. If someone isn't getting it, theres always a reason, maybe they don't care (hey 3am at 9.50 an hour doesn't inspire too many caring workers lol), but maybe there is something we can do to help. Can everyone make it? No probably not, but people who genuinely want a job here can be found a place to succeed, however it just seems like we usually try to ram a square peg in a round hole for too long and force them to do a job that they may not be very good at hoping that somehow they'll pick it up eventually.
