That's the sole reason I chose to try and build a career at UPS, I don't wana waste my life in school with no guarantee of work afterwards and the sure thought of debt, besides I'm dumb as a damn rock lol
Just walked out of UPS

You have no guarantee. You have to pass probation many a part timer have not cut it.

Retired and Happy
After vestment, he would receive two separate pension checks. Really the only thing he would gain by taking the job before his five year mark would be the vacation time he has earned. But, as soon as he takes the FT job his seniority date will change to his FT employment date. So, for instance he was hired in July for PT and gets a FT job in February, he/she will actually lose that time as far as seniority purposes go. The time served he will not lose, but his seniority time will be moved as far as vacation goes. It's almost as if the time between July and February was lost forever except for building seniority if layoffs were to occur.
Pissed me off when I was expecting my extra week at my fifteenth year and I had to wait a few more months until my FT hire date.
Days like that I just go
it to load quality in that truck. Unless the report says that that was a good portion of the truck I just happened to get all at once.

For me, 5 years part time = 2.5 years full time which they rounded up to 3 years full time.

Working at UPS, you have to have the right attitude walking in.
If your day is heavy, accept the challenge and see how you do. Crying about it will only make your day worse. You still have to do it. It's not personal, it's your route.
I work for the customers I deliver to. They are the ones expecting me to deliver the goods they need and on time. They are the ones who thank me and appreciate what I do for them. No matter what happens in the Hub or at home, I leave it in the package car when making a delivery.
We get paid to drive around all day and no one looks over our shoulders. We get free clothes (no comment on the quality) and a company car. We get paid very well and one month out of the year we have to dig in and earn it.
We really do have a great job, but you have to make it that way with the right attitude.

Just a follow from my last post. Worked an hour and a half last week. Went in everyday but one, stayed until absolutely no one was left asked if anybody wanted to go home but unfortunately on one did. Asked to be laid off but can't be done and tried to bid preload but higher seniority guys are on it. Can't do anything but laugh at this point. Oh I did talked to 2 stewards and have done exactly what they have said to do and also the senior guys on BC.

So you can retire as part time with a pension? At what 50 years of service?
