[QUOTE="OldNewb, post: 3688814, member: 73937"] I'm in the same boat. New loader. I just finished my first week. The other new hires are 18-22 yrs old and hyper while I'm 39 and tired. I've worked similar jobs before but that was in my early 20's. We spent the first 3 1/2 nights in class and had 3 different p/t sups drop by the class practically begging us not to quit and trying to convince us how much money is to be made if we just hang in there. They mentioned how quickly we could become sups. Personally, the main thing that I find appealing is getting full benefits after 90 days only working p./t. The last night in class our trainer said he wasn't supposed to show us the obsevations he was putting in our permanent files but "for the first time ever" he'd bend the rules for 3 of us. He wrote about how promising a prospect I am and that I'm "manager material". SURE!! I felt like that was a HUGE load of crap! Maybe I'm being too cynical. Anyone else experience feeling like they're being snowed? I'd be less worried if they didn't seem so desperate. I've spent 1 full shift loading and not sure where this is headed. These forums seem packed with experienced people with a lot of not so good things to say about UPS. Love the honesty! [/QUOTE]
