Where I work, historically if an employee is willing to work the job, it's theirs regardless of performance (unless they have severe attendance issues, consistently misloads 20+ packages, etc.) This year management is being more "picky" with who it's willing to retain. We've had several hires in the last six weeks dismissed because they weren't fast enough loading or unloading, had too many misloads, had a single no call, no show, etc. They weren't even tried in alternate areas. To compensate, we have multiple supervisors working every single day. So while I'm uncertain, this may be happening in greater frequency nationally.
But I am surprised it's happening in the MSP area. MSP has one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country, including among young adults that UPS so covets.
I was let go because I had 40 misloads in 30 days and has only able to do 180 or so PPH even though the day before I got let go I was at 220 PPH and had 0 misloads. I had help almost every day and I think some of the misloads came from them because I always made sure to check the car and shelf while walking and always wrote the HIN on the package. Like you said I was never tried in another area and was told when I was let go that if I couldn't work at 260 PPH I wouldn't be able to work here and I would become a safety hazard. I'm sure if they would have moved me to slide or unload I would have done much better but I know they wouldn't do that.

It could be that you worked under the direction of some 20-year-old given total leverage who thinks that by making decisions like these, he'll being going FT tomorrow.
That's horrible. I just joined the union last week, fortunately. I haven't been here for a long time, so I don't think I can give you a good answer. If I were you, I would get a hold of my lawyer and contact the labor department. My cousin used to be a driver at UPS and sued them for a lot of money and won. First, I would talk to the HR first, then discuss it with the FT supervisor or manager. If they don't do anything about it, contact your lawyer and department of labor. I know it was the union that deduct the money, but you still can hold UPS accountable for it. Because you didn't give UPS permission to make a third party deduct money out of YOUR hard earned money.
I had 2 supervisors during my tenure there. For the first 3-4 weeks I had a middle aged woman helping me and he was very helpful and supportive and tried to help me get faster at the job. The last week of 2 I had someone my own age (21 or so) who was tougher and basically seemed to be repeating verbatim out of some workbook and telling me I needed to work with "a sense of urgency" which I found ironic because I was moving faster and more strenuously then almost everyone else in my section. I obeyed whatever either supervisor said and made sure to never make waves with anybody in the hub and always kept a good attitude and work effort which I was told a lot of times in a "you work hard and are on time every day but you just don't cut the mustard" kind of way. I figured I was improving in the last few days and thought I would work here for a few years until I was let go. In a way I guess it's a blessing in disguise as I was told by other preloaders that it was better to get out sooner or later. To be honest I couldn't see myself working here 20-25 years like some people, it was kind of a fix between whatever came next whether it was going back to school or finding a better job.
I actually worked cages on a boxline. They told us 4-6 packages a time would be good and would get us done in time. The problem was they loaded the cages so heavy with all the heavy, big stuff in front and all the small stuff in back that I would go 5 minutes with cleaned cages than another 5 cages where I could only get 2-3 packages out because of the sheer size of packages and that slowed me down considerably. They also told me I spent too much time in the car, they time me once with 2 packages and it took me 15 sec to put them where they needed to be, write the HIN number, and get out which I was told was way too long to be in one car.
I really have no idea how I would have rubbed anyone the wrong way as I kept the my work and didn't converse much. Maybe I did somehow but I don't know.

I only got the 220 PPH and 0 misloads with help that day. Usually I was at 160-190 PPH with 1 or 2 misloads a day with one day getting 8 misloads. The last 2 days I worked there I only worked 3 cars and still barely got done in time so I can see why I got let go. 220 PPH was an anomaly.

It was probably for the best. If you were on my hub, would work you till you break, once broken, I would work you in small sorts till you quit.
UPS is no place for to work unless ur homeless & need crack money
Yeah, my head supervisor basically said he couldn't see me getting any better because I still needed help 30 days in. Oh well, whatever my next venture I hope it works out better.
Bet you a nickel you cant give him a negative rep!I know you crave attention, but when it's clear that somebody's upset, do you really have to be a dick about it?
