[QUOTE="Gear, post: 2276565, member: 60511"] I dont know, Im out of gas on this. Most replies from drivers seem to lean towards the company not working with the newly hired employee. Most believing there is no way he'll get the time off. I replied that the skill set he was bringing to the company will be all the leverage he needed to get the time off, and that they would give him the time off. In the end the company gave him the time off. Its supply and demand. The higher the skill level equals less supply of skilled workers. Which makes any company, including UPS willing to bend or just be reasonable to fill the position. Some of you guys are so hard headed, you believe if they wouldnt allow you to do it, there is no way its possible for someone else. My job comes with way less stress than yours. I would assume PE has it better than us. Thats how the world works. We all make the same hourly rate. The difference is how hard we have to work to earn it. Just out of curiosity, what do you consider an unskilled job? We can argue all jobs are skilled because everything takes some type of skill to complete. But that just seems like a new age "safe zone" kind of thing to say. Like saying everyone wins, but in reality there can only be one 1st place. Maybe I could've worded it better. Im not PC, I dont believe in safe zones or am I worried about hurting people's feelings. Im a, "It is what it is" kind of guy. [/QUOTE]
