[QUOTE="LarryBird, post: 4079879, member: 76548"] This is a dynamic job where UPS can't possibly know exactly what hours will be needed to process the work and insure our customers receive the service they pay for and expect from us. The hours are based on their best estimates, and are pretty accurate for the most part - sometimes there's heavy days/weeks or staffing issues that aren't totally in their control. If you've got school or full-time job obligations and you make management at UPS aware of it ahead of time, they're usually happy to work with you, if it's at all possible. I'm no UPS apologist or company man. But what exactly are they supposed to do? Shut the sorts down and leave packages at the building because they're not wrapped by the usual time that day? Part-timers are a dime-a-dozen to this company, and they always have been. They come and go like it's a revolving door and nothing at all changes. The job gets done by the jaded vets making decent money with free bennies, or the job gets done with a new replacement making less dough, but it gets done either way. [/QUOTE]
