[QUOTE="thaliloldsup, post: 2719803, member: 66773"] Hello all, I had my first day of training/work yesterday at my UPS hub. I was hired on for PT package handler unload/load local sort, but was told upon arrival I was going to be doing smalls. Anyway, one of the asst supervisors gave me a 5 minute walk through the building & showed me how to do smalls & sent me on my own. I only messed up minorly a couple times but it felt like the surrounding supervisors and managers watching were burning holes into my back with their laser red eyes staring at me. This is my first "real" job considering my last job was part of our family business. Should I expect to just thicken my skin and not let these guys smart comments and dirty looks get to me? I heard a couple laughing and then stopped & looked the other way when I caught them. Also, if I'm put on smalls should I still expect to be trained to know how to unload and load the trailers too as well as the brown cars? Or should I expect to go in everyday and just do smalls until they need me to take over on load/unload. Today will be my second day & despite the intimidation factor from supervisors, I'm staying optimistic and hope I feel comfortable doing my job soon. My worst fear is that I'll be 2 weeks in and still feel confused or need help/clarification and then management will be upset. I'm very nervous & anxious going into work. Any replies helpful!
