[QUOTE="tieguy, post: 74352, member: 1912"] "I did waste my time, though: My day was stolen by UPS. The way I see it, my time has some value, too." I'm not sure where we went wrong. Whether we raised your expectations to a level we could not reach or whether we failed to prepare you for reality. Yes your particular experience does sound screwed up and disorganized. But a stolen day by UPS? That sounds a little dramatic. Perhaps a little overdone. In case someone mislead you driver helpers are cannon fodder in our peak wars. If you don't catch a bullet the first two days or if the war does not end before you get into battle then it could be rewarding. If your tenacious in sticking it out and do a good job it could eventually lead to a permanent position with UPS though it would require a lot of committment on your part. We want you to sit around the house until we call you then drop everything to meet a driver somewhere on the route. When you do and you bust your but to the degree the driver likes you then you may earn a phone call the next day. Your observations are correct Peak is a time of total kaos for us. Some managment teams handle it a lot better than others. Helper coordinators are usually pulled from staff. If you're lucky you get one that has been around a while and knows how to keep the helpers gainfully employed. But if you actually discuss this experience in terms of lost stolen days and core values and whether you feel your ups experience makes eskew a liar then I am afraid you have the driver helper job confused with an exciting career job. I don't mean to offend just not sure anyone is providing you with the proper perspective here or at work. [/QUOTE]
