[QUOTE="Lloyd Christmas, post: 3511655, member: 72553"] I started the week before Mother's Day. That week, as expected, was me trying to figure everything out on the fly. It was clear they pushed me into this role without telling me 95% of the job description. Which IMO is shady as hell. But honestly it was doable. This last week, Mother's Day week, was nuts. Way too much volume. It's frustrating getting yelled at all the time, and trying to encourage/motivate loaders to hurry up. It's simply too much volume being shoved down our throats and that's the crux of the issue at UPS, IMO. Lazy and/or terrible loaders aren't disciplined which is also a problem I've seen. Today was also crazy. My problem is I'm an idealist. I think people should always treat others with respect, work hard, be responsible, etc. Which is rare in management thus far. I'm in for a rude awakening I can tell. I don't live under a rock...I just didn't expect such a toxic culture to exist at a solid corporation like UPS. How naive I was and probably still am. Did I make a mistake becoming a pt sup? Probably. But like someone else said only time will tell. But I'll try to make the best of it and adapt. I know UPS can pay off for people who grind it out, not letting the BS get to them. Easier said than done, but I don't have another alternative other than quitting. Thanks for the responses! [/QUOTE]
