friend$%@-it Friday

[Analbumcover]

Got done my pull early so I went over to help a new guy on the belt who was so stacked out it looked like he built one of those Aztec step-pyramids along the belt.

I couldn't even see the backs of the trucks.

I told him "I'll pull the belt and scan, and you load."

He stared at me as if I'd just flown in from Neptune, turned and faced his scale reconstruction of Tenochtitlan then said "friend$%k it. I'm out." He proceeded to walk down the belt, turned and disappeared into the parking lot.

Soon after, I heard one of our PT sups yell "he WALKED OUT."

Guess who got to finish loading Tenochtitlan?

I think he was the smart one.

Happy Friday, BrownCafe

My very first day of work, they put me and the other guy they hired in Small Sort (one of the easiest jobs in the building). He left at break and never came back.

Legend says, he's still on break at this very moment.

They come and they go.

Years back, they made great money so they stayed

Saw a chick just this week ask to use the bathroom and not come back.

One dude showed up in flip flops and the preload manager jokingly picked on him a bit but told him to go get work boots and come back to work. He didn't come back.

I had a guy walk out 5 minutes into the safe work method day one. We didn't even get to the sort yet. Never said a word, just left.

I've seen them bail at the guard shack after the HR girl gives them the talk about UPS at 4 a.m.

 

[Mr. Sir]

I've seen someone pull into the parklot for a facility tour, glanced at all the other hopefuls waiting at the guard shack,and turned around and left before even stepping out of his car

Wish I was smart enough to do that

I know a guy who got so tired of package with no end in sight, sold his sole and turned to the dark side only to miss out on feeders less than a year and a half later.

Countless people have filled out the application online at upsers.com but instead of hitting submit they click the x and browse to a porn site.

No they didn't, STOP. I was hired in the Meadowlands in 1988. UPS paid 8/hr and minimum wage was $3.35. 30 of us walked downstairs for a tour of the hub as part of orientation. 22 of us came upstairs a half hour later. There are people who can't take this kind of work in every generation.

did he drop the mic on his way out?

 

[LeaveIt2Griever]

During Peak, an street seasonal driver decided he couldn't handle this job after his first week. Rather than quit after he got back to the building on Friday, he came in Monday, took the truck out, delivered about 4 stops and then had his wife pick him up.

Left the truck and the keys in a Safeway parking lot.

So over double minimum wage wasn't a lot of money? Now they barely make above minimum wage to start. And wait way longer for bennies to kick in.

One minor correction: UPS is a federal contractor and is subject to the minimum wage for federal contractors, which is $10.20. Contractual start rate for unskilled positions is currently under the minimum wage.
