Are all sorters lazy?

Unload is easy. Tip tiers over and who gives a poop where the label is. Meanwhile, these lazy piece of dung sorters are looking for labels, texting their sweeties, and lifting 70 pound packages over their head, back-to-back, for hours. You enjoy supervising, sounds like it'll be a better fit for you. The sorters still won't give a rat's :censored2: and they'll kill the belt when dipsticks like you unload. Tough guy.

All of the drivers at my center sort and load our own trucks. My job for awhile was emptying the trailer, and as a 110lb friend, that is one hell of a job.

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!)
I sorted for about two years of my part time career. I used to take great joy in hitting the red button and turning the whole building off. Those were the days.

my aunt got me no job at UPS, i had no idea she'd even worked with them. she convinced me to stay after i almost slapped the :censored2: out of my sup for trying to reprimand me for my low flow in a hardware truck

So, maybe she should have explained the SECOND that you almost made contact ( slapping) your Sup, you would have been walked out so fast and not have to ever worry about low flow in a hardware truck.

Walk away and/or count to ten, but NEVER lay your hands on a co worker. Join a gym or something to work out aggression.
 
The only times I have ever laid hands on someone was for my physical safety.

Violence has no place at work and doesn't resolve any conflicts or problems. I don't care how mad you are and at whom or for what - it is not OK to harm someone or threaten someone because of a job. Even if you get DQ'd at your 60, there's a job market willing to take you because you're now skilled and they'll pay you more. Warehouse. Delivery. Freight. All sorts of markets, even chain retail stores driving a van bringing groceries pays more than the basic PT jobs.
