[QUOTE="TheFigurehead, post: 3166961, member: 49302"] Sure there are... that's why we have to offer a $150 a week bonus to show up, and offer prizes like iPads to employees for suckering their friends and family into signing up for seasonal work... Not to mention that, even given all of that, 3/4 of the seasonals we hire will quit within the first two weeks. If there were plenty of other people willing to work at UPS (as a permanent employee, much less seasonally) we wouldn't be chronically understaffed, even at the slowest time of year, and disastrously understaffed during peak. Because someone who can't show up until 3:00 but keeps coming in > Someone who shows up on time for a week then quits. You can pretend that inside staffing isn't a problem during this time of year, if you want, in order to give this guy a hard time... but everyone here who has worked a peak knows full well how it goes. He probably expected to be working the hours that HR lied to him about when he took the job. That's what they do. Beyond that, why would you expect someone who hasn't, until now, worked for UPS to know how things work? He just started. I know it's difficult for us to believe, but people who don't work for UPS have no idea how it works, don't care how it works, and spend absolutely zero percent of their time thinking about UPS aside from wondering when their package will arrive.
