Hardship transfers

Anybody heard of UPS giving any hardship transfers lately? I know they were given out alot more freely in the 80's and 90's, but how about now? Have a friend looking for one but he really doesn't even know if it's possible with the UPS of today.

Only to Hawaii...

Its possible, contact HR, they will work with you..
but you better have a good "story" or whatever.

My HR tried but failed to get me anything other than
a shining recommendation for re-hire.

But its ok, purple is starting to grow on me..

As long as it's not purple and green. Purple and pink doesn't have to work as hard as the purple and green. I feel sorry for those people. Yeah, I haven't seen or heard of any hardship transfers in the past 10-15 years. Thanks.

I personally know a supervisor that transferred because his daughter needed special medical attention and was put into a program at a hospital in the Boston area. The supervisor was allowed to transfer at his own expense and it happened quickly.

Your friend needs to contact HR. they need to be prepared to have it in writing.
