    READ THIS before joining management!

    So, you've been told you should look into being a supervisor, huh? That you're doing SUCH a good job, they want to promote you? You'll make more money, get more hours, health insurance, AND you won't have to load trucks anymore? I bet you're still in your 30 days,or you just qualified, so more...

    30 day position policy?

    Hey everyone, new user here. I wanted to ask if anyone knows about a 30 day policy I've heard about. I got put in a new position (designated responder, yeah) that I initially agreed to, but it's been about 3 weeks in terms of work days, and I hate it. Some old dogs mentioned that if I let...

    Preload to Small Sort/Load/Unload.

    Update time: My full time supervisor told me he'd let me have the opportunity to switch from Preload to Sort/Unload/Loading Trailers. Loading is a bit weird for me but I'll get used to it. Unload and sort are cake. Where can I go from here though? Pt sort supervisor? What are my options for...

    Shaving

    I know the policy on men being cleanly shaved but I don’t remember it mentioning your face. I noticed I was growing a 70’s bush yesterday and felt this needed shaved so I took care of this instead of my face. It’s nice to have all your retirement hours in because this will be my answer to management

    Is there really a possibility of a strike?

    If so why? I mean I understand this place sucks and everyone is overworked constantly but is there anything in particular that we are going to strike about? I don't understand what's different now than any other time I've worked here the past nearly 4 years

    Being harassed for overallowed

    I’m a new driver (less than 1 yr) I’ve been told multiple times by different sups that I was promoted as a “scratch” driver and I need to scratch EVERY day. And if I don’t it’s going to be a problem for me. I know I shouldn’t worry about their numbers but I really just want to stay off the radar...

    Asking for a friend...

    Long story short. Driver A and Driver B are both Tues-Saturday drivers. However Driver B has a side deal worked out with management that he comes in every Monday to help and takes another day off of the week, sometimes being Saturday due to him running out of hours. Driver A has more seniority...

    Looking to go into maintenance?

    I know there is a maintenance position open in my hub and I know they are union. Is there a specific way to transfer unions? Do they have the same benefits? Would anyone know any tests you would have to take? This is the option I presented a friend instead of going management.

    I suck at preloading.

    Today I had the same 4 trucks to preload. It was hell. A :censored:ty packed box of books opened under the weight of itself and it caused me to get backed up with packages. My scanner then decided to fail and my supervisor wasn't around to help me so I asked another preloader. My supervisor was angry...

    Are sorters required to load?

    I have been with UPS for 2 years now. I consider myself to be a good employee. I always come to work with a good attitude and work ethic. I worked as a package handler for a while, stayed in one area in the outbounds the whole time. Very seldom on a crappy night, we’d have to go help out another...

    I brought a no shave policy paper to my boss and he told me to relocate

    alright, so up until the point where I was hired as a part-time supervisor I have never shaved my beard, but to get straight to the point , I got a doctors note. After getting my note I brought it to my gateway manager, and he tells me I would have to work the same position (part- time...

    Need Some Advice

    You're probably rolling your eyes because it seems like every PT worker come here to complain. I have a situation and I'm not sure how to handle it. I work preload in a small town. Our building is pretty small. Just two belts for loading and one sort isle of maybe 5 workers. I have been in my...
