Hello, I'm new here to the Brown Cafe and I hope that I have a pleasant time here!
I've currently been employed at UPS as a sorter for around 3-4 months now and haven't had much to complain about besides, the placement of where I am sorting at.
But today, was a complete disaster on management's part, based on my perception of being moved not once, not twice, but six times throughout the day. Started out with the sort and my sup moved me down to the unload. Then after the break, I was moved to back the sort aisle. 30 minutes later, my sup's boss was screaming about something and I got moved to something called the "bulk sweeper"? 5 minutes later, I was moved back to the unload. 9:20 rolls around and I get placed back to the sort aisle.
I'm usually a very fast sorter, but when it comes to sorting the PF Shoot. It's an absolute hassle. Labels are down, packages are heavy, and I have a bar that cuts flow to the people behind me. The past 3 days have been a complete disaster for me because of where I'm placed. If I just sort a truck or two, it's a breeze and I can go fast. But my sup doesn't seem to realize that sorting the PF Shoot, is no go on my part.
We're, unfortunately losing people on our aisle due to former employees going back to college. Which I guess is causing management, to squeeze every last bit of me in all sort of places to make up for the loss.
If you're still trying to find what exactly my question is, I'm looking for a reason into why management is placing me in the different locations.
