[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1157048, member: 43436"] IMO, the training most employees receive sucks. I assumed you worked from a slide (as opposed to pulling boxes from a straight-belt, or boxline) and really, it's a fairly simple concept: load the packages as fast as you can into the right area on the right truck. But most people convince themselves they have to stay caught up (as in their slide is completely clear - if that happens, you'll get more work) or the job seems so overwhelming, it overpowers them mentally. The goal for success is to keep a steady, consistent pace, accurately load & don't worry about the flow. Which is easier said than done & takes some getting use to. But some supervisors, especially the ones attempting to make their name known, make the job out to be rocket science. And FWIW, most of us who started young didn't anticipate making a career here :). I've been telling myself for 13 years that I'll finish school soon (but it's finally happening). And I can recall being in my mid-20s and 17yo, 18yo new hires taunting me for working here. Now they're in their mid-20s, have kids, and will be here much longer than me. If you really wanted the job, I suggest you contact your HR rep and/or sort manager. Sometimes if you show determination, they rescind their decision. Take care. [/QUOTE]
