[QUOTE="supercool, post: 248749, member: 8811"] As another stupid PTer who is trying to work his way through college at UPS, it's a little offensive to say that we PTers shouldn't be adequately compensated by such a financially successful company. After 2.5 years I'm making $11/hr, which isn't awful, but $13-14/hr would be much nicer. UPS is one of the few companies I can work at that lets me work at hours that allow me to concentrate on school, gives me healthcare and tuition reimbursement, and gives me a good workout day in and day out. During our sort timings last night I was timed at 3240pph. I work VERY hard for my money. I've been searching for jobs that would be a good substitute for UPS's benefits, but there aren't many to be found. Sure, I understand that the benefits I receive lower my hourly pay, but this is 2007, and living in a city and going to school does cost a lot of money. A lot of people are leaving for jobs that pay better and require less work because they have more scheduling flexibility... if I could do that, I would. Maybe PTer pay should be like driver pay... starts low, but goes up significantly after a couple years of good service to the company. [/QUOTE]
