[QUOTE="soberups, post: 2510334, member: 14668"] The poster I quoted indicated that his helper, while slow, was at least reliable about reporting to work on time. It has been my experience that a significant percentage of helpers are incapable of even that. Firing an otherwise reliable helper for being too slow means you could wind up with one who is even worse, that cant be depended on to report on time (or at all) and that must be re-trained on the DIAD. It is simply unrealistic to place expectations of a $35 per hour work pace on someone who is only being paid minumum wage. If the company wants more productive helpers then it can pay for more productive helpers. There are multiple "help wanted" signs up and down the main drag of my town, in virtually every storefront and restaraunt window. Jobs are there to be had and the only people who will accept minimum wage under UPS conditions ( temporary, irregular hours, outdoors in weather) are the people who are unable to get a better job elsewhere.
