[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 2533931, member: 12570"] My helper is what you would call less than motivated. I have given him $20 each week that he has worked and an additional $20 for each day that it was really cold (3 thus far). He has worked with me for at least 2 weeks and still has issues with the DIAD. He is also a chain smoker who can barely carry a package without getting short of breath. He also has the bladder of an 80 year old. I have to remind him on a daily basis to make sure that he brings his reflective vest and ice cleats with him. I also have to remind him on a daily basis to cross behind the pkg car and to push, not pull, the hand cart, both of which he ignores. He doesn't drive so he has to ride or his bike or walk to wherever he has to go. I have asked him to use his tip money for a cab but he prefers to use it for beer. I could care less how he spends it just as long as he shows up on time. Last week I picked him up on a Monday and had to wait until he put on his vest and ice cleats, even though he had been at the meet point for at least 10 minutes. He then announced that he had to pee and got mad when I asked him why he didn't take care of that while he was waiting. The funny part is that he gets upset with my rules yet wants to apply for an inside job. I have already told HR that he is a definite "no rehire" but lie to him and tell him that I have put a good word in for him just so that he will continue to show up every day for the rest of the week.
