[QUOTE="Sammie, post: 208808, member: 8657"] You know, there are a ton of people who apply for driver and pt positions and they give it their best but they just can't do it. Your jobs aren't for everybody! I worked in HR for several years and processed the paperwork for the many who gave it a shot but also gave it up.They weren't fired, they just realized that the regimentation and hard physical work wasn't for them. We even had a few cops now and then who realized that drivers made more money than they did, and every one of them worked for a short duration before walking away... I'll never forget what some of my driver friends told me about their first few days at UPS. They received their standard first two or three days of supervisor training [I][B]and help[/B],[/I] and then came the first big day out on their own. Just trying to wrap their minds around this new way of making a living where every second counts, realizing how many packages there were to deliver and the impossible number of pickups he had, learning a new area, remembering the methods, etc., etc., etc. these grown men panicked and admitted to bursting into tears and throwing pkgs around in the back of their pkg cars in their frustration (and hoping nobody walked by and heard them!!) Yeah, I'd say that falls under 'working your butt off when you first started!' [/QUOTE]
