Passing the Time in Smalls Sort (On Topic Please)

[Catatonic]

Smalls sort is mostly cranky women wanting to make someone's life miserable.

Women was sufficient - the highlighted is understood as an inherent attribute of "woman".

Small a is probably the most desired job as a part timer. This person can't be serious.

Not quite.

 

[UnconTROLLed]

Clerical was better. Small sort is mid level IMO

The only "easy" job in our small sort is the ECS clerical job.

I remember our hardest, craziest, heaviest day last year during peak in load- volume was at it's craziest, but very much the most anticipated kind of crazy volume, talk about swimming in packages! I don't know why everyone hated it, to me there was nothing like the thrill and the pride that I felt after knocking those cans down, one after another with hella decent quality considering what time it was. Maybe it was the energy supplements, lol, but that was the ultimate challenge and it was so much fun. Not one moment of downtime that entire 10 hours.

I hope you were able to take breaks according to the contract and your state's labor laws. 10 hours would get 30 minutes in my state.

International clerks have it pretty kushy here also

In my state and Union local it would get you 10 minutes paid break.

10 minutes for 10 hours of work is a travesty.

10 hours of sorting with a PT sup watching you to make sure you are keeping up. Union says it is all legal.

Might as well withdraw the dignity, respect, over-supervision, coercion language in the contract too.

 

[Pooter]

Do what I do and carry out conversations with yourself.

Might develop a problem later on but oh well.

Hidden bluetooth and a hat y0

 

[HardknocksUPSer]

Chew tobacco, spit seeds, or eat candy. About the only things to do while your working.

I agree.
Can we get that in the next contract?

Now you are bitching about Management doing what they are suppose to be doing.
You rather he help you sort?

Not here. Our state laws are awesome. Now, getting part timers to actually enforce them.......that's a different story.

I'm guessing you got put in small sort because of an injury. An injury that you probably got while loading. Any sane person would see this as a promotion. If you want excitement, go ride a roller coaster.

Why not work hard? Time passes quick when busy.

I call small sort the "Hen House". Mostly womyn thinking they are important and doing the most complaining, doing the easiest job UPS has to offer.

In my hub the the injury rate in small sort is 10 times higher then the unload.

I worked with women doing unload. They don't complain, but are in good shape. Very few there. They get my respect.

A few can do preload too. I respect them too.

Never seen any women doing irregs though. That is the brute strength area.

Also loading feeders. Maybe only 1 doing that here.

They give women the easier jobs like pick off, small sort or loading the lightest air can loads where I work. They think that they are the experts.

But heck, we all get paid the same on seniority.

My building has a lot of career female preloaders. I agree females loading trailers in the hub don't last long. A few days or weeks at the most.
