[QUOTE="drazzy93, post: 2510471, member: 64619"] For the last part -- The "girl who I get my information from" is absolutely clueless. Every time I ask her something she says "Don't ask me, I'm not your supervisor!" and then I ask one of my PT supervisors and they just laugh about how clueless they are. Honestly I've felt more shocked as the days go by how little the PT supervisors know. I signed up to work for a Saturday, and I asked her if that was considered OT. She said she had no idea, and asked our FT supervisor who also said he had no idea. So, believe me I have tried to get all the information, but we get stuck in this cycle of the people who should know the stuff just don't know. Basically everything I know about UPS at this point is because I researched it on my own with google. I KNOW that there are FT jobs out there, but the fact is that my coworker has been working there for 3 years. She also told me that she didn't get a raise at all in these 3 years until she finally complained to the FT supervisor, and she "just finally got a raise last month" and that just really doesn't sound right to me. I like the people who I work with, but honestly it feels like everyone in the management positions are entirely clueless here. Sometimes I don't even really feel like it's a job, that I'm just hanging with some friends in some facility. I know about the bid sheets, and I've been meaning to ask my HR supervisor about it this Monday. You have to understand that maybe I didn't express myself correctly, but I was trying to ask why there were so many PT package handlers who have been there for 10-20 years. What the heck is keeping them around? In that time period they could probably have found a better deal on insurance, or even a better job with the same benefits. What the heck is keeping them around? I wanted to know if it was worth it to stay on as a PT package handler. However, I'm not saying that I'll just end up staying as one because honestly I can't deal with the menial and tedious nature of the job so I'll definitely try and latch onto a FT job. I just hope that the bid sheets aren't too far away. What kind of positions do you think I will see? Will there be sheets for positions inside customer service? [/QUOTE]
