[QUOTE="Prototelis, post: 102610, member: 5764"] I work at the same center as the poster above. (He actually turned me onto this website.) And I'm seriously tired of some of the things that have been going on. We're an air operation, so we have a ramp crew and a sort crew. I suck at sorting packages, there are no ifs or butts about. As you know, even during the regular hours they are not offering a sorters pay at my building. Why should I go and certify on something I know I'm going to screw up to no end? Atleast twice they've tried to have another employee sit next to me while I took the sort test to more or less give me answers. I've taken the test about 4 times and failed it each time during my early employment. I'm not almost at my year mark, and they haven't bothered me about it since I got my 90 days in. It wasn't an issue for a while, because I go out of my way to physically work very hard, to make up for it. The above poster can back up my fanatical load and unload pace. I was actually employee of the month once as well. But it pisses me off that they're pushing this crap in my face, that they aren't going to pay me for. To basically force me to screw up. They pulled it on me a few weeks ago on a friday, because we were really short on people. They wanted me to take the test and pass it to make me sort. I'm not against learning new things, I am however very against putting myself in the position to be screwed over. I've also been told by management that I don't have a choice as to where I work. (The ramp or inside the building) When it has been pointed out to me that I am indeed allowed to change positions once a year, except for the months of November and December. This is in our contract. I put way too much physical effort into my job to be dicked around on this level. And I'm seriously contemplating going to the outside ramp crew. I'm certified on nearly everything out there that I can be. (I don't have a driver's liscense) There are a few other issues that I'd love to get into, but I'm not going to totally ruin my co-worker's thread with my whining. (Oh, and before forget to mention it. I really love guiding the plane in three days a week. :) ) [/QUOTE]
