And why would a mother want their child to work in such a widely known, abusive atmosphere if they know they can't handle it? You have to be mentally strong to put up with it.

To toughen them up maybe? Or maybe the mother wasn't thrilled about it but the kid claimed to really want a chance at the job?

I am not saying UPS cannot get rid of her. Of course they can, even if she has made book!
But either way, if you are paying initiation fees and dues (as seasonals do here), you do have rights in a union shop.

I wouldn't be able to work immediately after a panic attack either. They don't happen often to me, but when they do it's pretty much a day-ruiner.
Stress at UPS is insane. It's almost like we're all paid to be constantly overwhelmed with cardboard on the clock.
You gotta find a way to separate the workplace from the source of your anxiety. If social situations are your problem,
, man, you don't have to talk to anybody while you're inside.
If it's a confidence issue, you've got to build your self-confidence in the workplace up slowly and surely. The best way to accomplish that is through repetition, by showing up to work everyday and putting forth your best effort. I guarantee if you show up and work to the best of your abilities every single day, eventually you're going to find that your best is always becoming a little bit better than the day before.

I assumed maybe the.mother might be in managment or something...lol.
Just like any other job working at UPS isn't met for everyone. Some people just don't have what it takes. You appear to be working at UPS to keep your Mom happy and not because you really want to work. Or maybe you really want to work at UPS it just that you don't like to actually do any work.
You have 2 options
1. Man up and tell your mom that UPS isn't for you.
or
2. Become a productive member of society and stop making excuses to why things always seem to happen to you and not your fellow employees.

Better suck it up buttercup, it only gets worse. If you have anxiety that bad, quit asap. Or stop making excuses and produce. You're no different than anyone else whose done the work in the past.

Great. Now you only have anxiety attacks over production numbers and misloads. And remembering your start time. And where you parked the car. And where you left your car keys.

A "Great Company" has to go beyond paying there employees a FAIR hourly wage. Genuine concern and care for there customers and employees would be a intricate part of a "Great Company".....by no means breeding hatred and distrust against the company can make said company "Great"........1 small example of where UPS fails to be a Great company........

In my center, there are 2 drivers and 1 feeder driver who has a son working with us.
I see nothing but respect given to them because their fathers works here and they give that respect back.
I don't think their parents would even OK them to work here if it was really that bad plus the young guys know they have to work harder then everyone else.
This is why the OP has to understand Mom working there puts him/her in a different spotlight than everyone else.

I have no expectation of UPS caring about me in any way. shape or form. Hence I'm not disappointed when they prove me right.

To be considered a "Great" company there is a large criteria which needs to be met. Monetary and benefit compensation is only one, absolutely UPS rewards its Full time employees with a FAIR pkg.....There are several categories in which UPS fails horribly in becoming considered a "Great" company.......divorce rate(mgt/hourly)......comp claims....substance abuse...overall employee job satisfaction.....customer satisfaction.....and thats just a shortened list.

I never said UPS was a great company...the OP did. But when you walk into the building...there's an "Exit" sign above the door. If you aren't happy....you can walk out as quickly as you walked in....and go find a great company to work for.

UPS can't be too bad of a place to work if they allow their employees to post on social media websites while on the clock.
