[QUOTE="CTOTH, post: 176837, member: 4682"] Though I agree with the majority of your post, I think you overlooked something. It would be interesting to compare the differences in a p/ter's and friend/ter's priorities. Most p/ters won't give 100% after having already put in 9 hours earlier that day or having to put in 9 more hours later in the day, not for $8.50/hour. I'm a part-timer on the local sort and though I don't have an attendance problem at UPS, I easily could have. It's pretty hard to come home for 1 hour a night to eat dinner and explain to you child that you have to go to work again so Mom and Dad don't have to mortgage the house next time we have a doctor's visit. Also when you're running 14-15 hours a day is much easier to catch a cold. If I feel a cold coming on, I will not be at UPS that night. I'll get a good night's sleep and take the proper precautions to eliminate it before it's a problem. If I have a doctor's appointment, I'll have to miss work at UPS or at the very least show up late. It's even difficult to find time to go and check my PO Box at the post office. If I was making $25/hour it might be a higher priority but for now I'll continue down the same path regardless of what management tells me. [/QUOTE]
