Who has more "say so" in things that go on at UPS? I've been working preload since I graduated high school in 2014 I'm now 20 and would like to go temp driving this peak since I'll be eligible in OCT of this year. The bid list quoted the requirements and all of which applies to me besides the fact that I must be 21, not knowing when the driver training will be I asked the center manager if she thought I could sign the bid list, she said "yes I want you to sign it, even if you don't make it to driver training this year" so a week later I get a call from HR and she says " you could be disqualified for a year for signing the bid sheet without meeting the requirement" I said okay and dropped it without talking to the center manager to avoid possibly being disqualified for a year for some reason. So who has more say so in most situations, the center manager or HR?
center manager or HR?

They will post another bid sheet in Oct-Nov for temp drivers. Talk with your Center Manager because they do what they want the temp list is not like a new full time driver bid. They can take you in part-time seniority order once you turn 21. Do what your Center Manager asks when it comes to Temp work and get your 30 days in as soon as you can!! They take drivers off of that bid sheet up until the end of temp season prior to outside hiring. you will not be disqualified for signing it early. Like wise you can sign it early and let then know if you have another job and can't start till August they will take junior employees till August and then bring you in. talk to your canter manager and also a shop steward familiar with temp drivers
Maybe pull isn't the right word, but they are the ones that decide who walks through that door.

Light 'em up!
You either have Upstate on ignore or you think he is no one.
He was the first response to the OP and said to sign the bid.

I was told by everyone sign every list no matter what so I decided to sign it after I got the center manager's green light to sign, I then received that info from the HR

I was kidding because 10 other people said it. And I would never put @UpstateNYUPSer on ignore. I actually like the guy and agree with a lot of what he says.

What rhmyes with UPS?
I signed the sheet when I was 20 and took classes the week of my birthday. Didn't start driving until a month later though because of UPS and their disorganization
