How would I know?
On my introduction post someone asked me to share some info from Worldport. So, here we go...
I joined UPS during peak with full intention to stay on as a part-time worker for 3rd shift (so I can get that money for college). Was hired, had orientation and super condensed training on the 16th (same day) that I barely remember b/c it was at 10AM and I was already on a third-shift sleep schedule.
Started working the day after as a bagger in small sort. Wasn't given a QT, was told what to do, and kicked it into gear. I got help when I asked for it but probably that same night I was able to function by myself. I mean I literally didn't know for sure where to go or what shuttle to catch so I could get back to my car and go home. My co-workers helped me thank god.
It's been 7 days straight of working hard and working overtime, on average from around 7:45PM to 5:00AM. Sleep, work, eat, repeat every day almost literally. And let me tell you that is not fun for someone who literally JUST joined and didn't get the chance to get used to the labor. What can I say, I make the dumbest life choices possible. I've been lucky because all but my hands/thumbs have adjusted quickly and these past two or three days I woke up without being sore.
I've cried twice during work now and I'm honestly not even sure why, thankfully no one has seen me, LOL. I've worked hard and put all of my effort into the job, though. Luckily it paid off and I was asked to stay on permanently. I will have to go through actual orientation and training again and will be assigned a QT (basically will be going through the process the correct way).
I'm not sure what the volume has been for each day, most recently I remember the number 2.4mil + over 300k in upgrades.
I'm so excited to find out what Worldport is like outside of peak, though. When I'm only working 5 or less hours and only 5 days a week.
Merry Christmas everyone!
