Is it worth it to stay here as a package handler while working 2 jobs?

[QUOTE="Rick Ross, post: 2509706, member: 51847"] Instead of getting all your information second hand why don't you walk over to a package center and find a seniority list? Look at the bottom of the list and check the employees full-time and part-time seniority...those dates will tell you when the last person was hired and the wait time they had. Be sure to check all the recent hires in case someone skipped their opportunity a few times and signed a bid later. The next thing would be to find the list of TCD or RTD drivers. This is how you want to start driving because it locks you into a higher starting wage when you do go full-time. Around July pretty much all centers and hubs hire a bunch of those temporary drivers. Did you see any of those bids posted? Ask your girl why she hasn't signed any of them over the years. Google UPS teamsters contract, download it and read it. You are getting worked up over a pt supervisor being hired from the outside and you've done zero legwork yourself to discover if you really want to go that route (you don't). Ask the girl you get your info from where the job bids are posted. From what I've seen about 50% of inside employees are like you are now and clueless. They miss opportunities because they don't even know where the bids are posted or only check once a month. Rely on yourself to get the info you need to make this decision because like I mentioned earlier, many others are too lazy to even glance at our contract and supplements or listen to someone who is uninformed and believe what they hear.
