Feeling underappreciated

[clean hairy]

If you have something to do don’t rely on management to help you leave early, use an entitlement day or call in.

They do reverse of what you ask for.
You want more hours? They will give you short days.
You want to leave early 1 day? They will load you up with extra work.
Just ask for the opposite of what you want!

Around here drivers get a little more than part timers but feeder gets treated like royalty, BBQs 2 times a week LOL

Your feeder guys are lucky then. They cut our weekly feeder safety pizza party when the negotiations for the new contract started. It never came back. Now they are consolidating feeder jobs in our area.

Leave the kid alone, man.

He sounds like one of the good ones.

He's just blowing off some steam. We've all been there with this company at some point.

You are my favorite player

Dont worry robots will replace you soon

I didn't mind being the last one to leave when i was on preload. I needed the money and plus the 3.5 hr guarantee ain't

As long as the check clears who gives a about their disingenuous cookouts with the cheapest hotdogs on the planet

I agree, although I used to be really proud of that turkey.

You’re always going to feel that way. The turds out number real workers by a landslide...it’s the 80/20 concept.

And therein lies the great tragedy of management.

They do it often in our center.

They do reverse of what you ask for.
You want more hours? They will give you short days.
You want to leave early 1 day? They will load you up with extra work.
Just ask for the opposite of what you want!

Doesn’t sound like a good idea

If there are people newer than you, friend it! pull the seniority card, if the sups think you dont care, they will take advantage of that. tell your sup that you have seniority over people that are being sent home before you, and if the sup does not fix the issue, file for seniority violation.

A seniority list is a fairly simple concept:
-it has a top;
-it has a bottom;
-it doesn't have a left and;
-it doesn't have a right.

But for some reason, management chooses to ignore it.

Why?
Was it best holiday driver helper you had?

Welcome to UPS

Im new to BrownCafe, I have been working at UPS since November 2018 and started as a Driver Helper, then moved into the hub as a unloader on Twilight shift. I worked hard, but I think im suffering from it due to the fact that now I am receiving more hard work every week. While other unloaders even newer then me go home early. I have always been the first in and last out. I havent missed work or been late while they have. I asked before memorial day to leave an hour early to go to a party. I was still the last to leave, due to the fact that we were understaffed because of call outs. I honestly want some slack, I like my supervisor but hes not realizing the unfairness me and 2 other co workers are feeling. When I show up and work hard its so I can leave early, not because i want more work. I wish he'd let me go early and just get the lazy/absent workers to finish the last truck.

Work at a pace that's safe and comfortable for you. It's the managers job to get the most out of his employees. We are just numbers to these people, so if you want to go home early, pull the seniority card. If you need more hours and want to work overtime, pull the seniority card. They can't do anything to you if you always show up for work, are on time, and you work safe, so pick up your balls off the floor, screw them on tight, and unleash the inner teamster.

I know the feeling. My current supervisor appreciates me and a few of my drivers. That is all. The rest are clueless.

Bad news for you: UPS is in the money making business, and you are the flesh-based machine they use to do it. If you’re working faster and harder than your coworkers, you’re the one your supervisors are going to ride to boost their numbers. If you don’t like it, slow down.

they always whip the best horse the hardest.
