[QUOTE="hoser, post: 217674, member: 6357"] Luck? Yeah, I'll need it. Believe me, it takes a LOT for me to become un-motivated. Never has a place had a goal that I cannot achieve, until UPS. Like the hub. If I can be sure I can get out within three hours, I'll work my ass off. If there's a mess that I can clean up knowing that area will stay clean and help the team, I'll clean it up. But the reality is, we have trailers in the hub coming in and in and in without notice, if I clean up a mess, another one will develop, and while cleaning that one, the original clean-up will become a mess. Supervisors have never asked me how I can become motivated, which they don't neccessarily have to, but it's good HR. I'll break my back to lift a box, that box will break open, and I'll see that it's full of wal-mart flyers. That just shoots up my morale 400% Now I'm doing cover driving in the summer, and, well, I don't have as bad of an attitude. I love doing the courier thing, whether as a bike courier or with FX. UPS is almost as hard as the biking but with a lot better pay and benefits, and I love not having a boss on my back. And because I'm 21, I don't mind working 12 hours a day 5 days a week between classes. Don't get me wrong, this place isn't so bad, but there's a damn good reason why I no longer care in the hub, and several good reasons why I withdrew my application to become a part time supervisor. One of which was that I could develop my leadership and practical skills in the Army reserves a lot better than at this place. And hey, all the misery is worth that tuition reimbursement check I get every few months. [/QUOTE]
