Are all sorters lazy?

It's all that backed up sexual energy because I'll tell you what he ain't smashing.

Perhaps @Indecisi0n has something to say about this???

As an unloader you have no idea what happens in the sort ailse most of the time.

I sorted 8 years and almost every night we would have multiple belts blown out and shut off at the same time...meanwhile, the unload keeps unloading. Throw in lazy unloaders letting open boxes, irregs and hazmat packages make it to the sort ailse and it's even tougher to keep up.

As an unloader I smash trailers on the daily,I started off mediocre around 950-1100 my 1st two weeks. Now, hovering around 1400-1600 ph with a quality sorter. For the last 3 weeks no one wants to sort me, is this the norm at every hub? (Can't wait til we're automated!)

Slow down chump! Don't you get paid by the hour?

$0 extra. I don't get hardware trucks though and more importantly, I can't go to work and slum it. It's against my character.

Ain't nobody saying slum it, but you start talking about people doing a job you've never done , and how great you are, and all you do is look silly

I respect that, i understand you can't always maintain my pace b/c of backlog with loaders and such. but my labels are at worst 90% and I even send longs down slide to reduce downtime clean-up. when i see sorters on the phone and resting on boxes literally all night, its frustrating b/c the sups keep yelling flow flow like they dont know the deal.

 

[BrownsNaive_Flunkie]

If you plan on staying at ups do not become a pt sup. Is as dead end and thankless as it gets.

Overtime has zero to do with effort. Who goes home is based on seniority. Besides, you are working 40 hours plus on the unload?

anyone organization has a ladder, i'm merely trying to climb my way to the top, if this endeavor grows fruitless . UPS will be nothing but experience on my resume as supervisory experience, if I'm going to be here I might as well try to be the giving the direction instead of taking direction all the time.

I used to be just like you, now my circumstance was i was hired during peak. So i had to go 110% 150% of the time in order to go perm. Now i kept that same mentality as well because like you i have a strong work ethic. So i up to any pull on the belts, spliting and loading trucks, throwing up irregs on the belt like i was Scott Steiner. (young kids look that name up). But as time went on i realized that i was being abused because the more i did the more work i got. And when i realized that no matter what my aspirations (wrong or right) to be a driver was not going to come faster as a result of my work and niether was anymore money. So why should I crank sht out on a repaired ACL and arthritic knee in my 30s mind you just to make the sups happy?

Working hard and faster can and will get you hurt. I have smacked my head, back, and knees because i was moving too fast. Slow down because you sound like a future victim of becoming a pt sup.

How old are you Pee-Wee?

Where's @RuthlessSupSlayer with his comparison of unloader vs. part-time sup positions?

Edit: Ah, he posted as I was writing!

flows downhill and PT sups are the bottom of the hill.

Good luck

Lets also add that the ft sup and manager are making your annual salary in one bonus as a rusult...are you? No you aren't
