[QUOTE="BiggieBrown, post: 3941901, member: 74633"] Neither UPS nor your coworkers care if you are a part timer. Took a shot to the nuts tonight in the trailer. Was tossing one of the long rollers out and it bounced back up off the ledge and hit me right in the left nut sack, like a see saw. I went down fast while 50 pound boxes continued to pile up around me, eventually falling on top of me. I tried crawling to the stop button to turn the belt off but was already trapped from the previous hour of :censored: falling off the sides and barricading me in because lack of help. The only response was drivers staring into the trailer wondering why I was on the floor, then filing a complaint against me for poor load quality. 6 hours later and it's still hurtin. Probably just lost the ability to have kids, all for $10 an hour. Seems like a fair trade for a guy like me. Later on I went out to fuel the trucks in the freezing rain, which quickly turned to hail. Took several golf-ball sized hails right to the dome, was seeing stars while trying to drive the trucks around in zero visiblity. Work as directed. They don't care about your safety or well being. What UPS taught me is that no one cares. We've been short handed for 4 weeks and they refuse to hire anyone. We're down to only 3 guys on our shift. Everyone's been dropping like flies. They refuse to hire. They'd rather just watch us try to work twice as hard to make up for it and injure ourselves in the process. [/QUOTE]
