[QUOTE="jibbs, post: 1164667"] Personally, I feel I've been treated more than fairly in my short time as a preloader with UPS. My first two weeks of employment there was some issue with my time card and those of the 3 others hired at the same time-- the manager responsible for my hiring paid me and three others out of pocket for two consecutive weeks. He's since been reimbursed by myself and one of the other guys, I have no clue about the other two. I've also gotten into near-boxing matches with the first supervisor that I ever had to work directly under. I was always given the benefit of the doubt and the supervisor ended up catching reprimands. Sometimes I was out of line, sometimes the supervisor was... but I've never felt like management was ganging up on me just for the hell of it, and I've never even felt ganged up on. Occasionally some kind of food is provided (eg: BJs Muffins, Chik-Fil-A breakfasts for everyone interested at the end of the shift, breakfast cooked by management, random gum and candy occasionally by the clock-in/clock-out computer, ice cold water bottles provided as we walk through security on the especially warm mornings) but it's a seldom occasion. I wouldn't even go as far to saying once a month... maybe once every two or three months for legit food, every couple of weeks with the candy and gum and, lately, every morning with the water bottles. Truthfully, I feel nothing but gratitude towards my specific management team. Occasionally I'm [IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG]ed over with a bad pull but hey, it is what it is, right? I've always looked at my morning shift at UPS as an early morning workout that I'm compensated for-- no more, no less. When I look at it through that lens then this part-time gig really isn't all that bad, and it'll only get better come August when I make the one-year mark. [/QUOTE]
