preloader trainee calling in sick

[extranatty]

Our preload put "UPS is hiring" stickers on random packages on Tuesday. Took me forever to peel those damn things off before delivering them.

You're a saint. Thank you for saving those potential new hires.

Today I realized that it's in the union's interest for UPS to abuse part-timers. Just think how much they make off of the people that work under a year. $22/mo and $300 in initiation fees. And of those who actually survive the first 2 weeks, 90% quit by 9 months. They're collecting hundreds of dollars from thousands of new hires and paying nothing back. It's brilliant.

I think our supplement (western) says 70 working days until you are out of your probationary period.

So first off im a long time lurker, been doing ups seasonal for the last three years (preloader, preloader, driver helper). I finally decided to do permanent pt preloader. Im still a trainy/probabtion and 38 working days in. I had to call in sick today due to feeling very sick. How will calling in sick and still being a trainy effect me could they just let me go for calling in sick?

They are lucky preloaders even show up to work. Trust me you'll be fine.
