[QUOTE="dillweed, post: 137774, member: 5938"] I feel that the type of person you are going into UPS has lots to do with how you'll experience it. Some people have lots of confidence and others are a bit more timid. Don't ever depend on anyone at ups to stroke your ego unless they are getting ready to screw you over. The company is largely confident and, sometimes, arrogant individuals. You'll sometimes have to butt up against them, hold your ground and maintain your dignity At first it's so chaotic and stressful you just do what you're told and try to hang on. Pretty soon you notice that many folks, including some supervisors, are talking straight out of their rectums. It's not always easy to just nod and get along with these people but it's the only way to survive. Trust me, they are not better than you, they just talk big. The labor is difficult and demanding. You're either cut out for it or you're not. If you can handle the work of it your next battle is the bs. Just let it slide and quietly listen. Won't take long to figure out who's full of it and who is not. Things also change constantly. One minute you're to do this, the next someone hollars at you to do that. Get to know your union rep early on and ask them questions if you feel you're being abused or cheated. I've seen many big mouth, big shot people come in who are not really good workers but bs their way through. Also seen many kick-ass workers who didn't stay because of the games. It's a good job with great benefits and keeps you physically fit. Give it a try and keep your wits about you. If it's too much crap, just give notice and move on. There's a place for everyone somewhere. Best of luck, dw [/QUOTE]
