He sounded upset when I told them they don't provide us with WIFI

Did he start whimpering and pull a baby bottle out of his fanny pack?

I walked up on a seasonal loader a few weeks ago recording a video like he was hosting a show.
“This is, like, the hardest work I’ve ever done. It’s like we’re literal slaves or something!”
Some if the seasonals we had was unbelievable. The company definitely needs a better solution.

Better wages would go a long way. PT used to be paid a little less then FT and UPS could pick and choose who they hired.
Now they are just begging for bodies

New hires only stay for a few weeks. The majority of the PT at my building already make $20 to $30/hr. I wouldn't think a starting wage of $20/hr would bankrupt the company and would actually be cheaper then the constant turn over.
It's the benefit they are expensive

And UPS instead of reducing the wait for benefits from a year to 9 months could have substantially raised the starting wage.After all the age group that UPS wants to hire for PT employment don't need or use most of the benefits. Would also help the Teamsters bank account through increased dues.

I was hired by UPS and Fed Ex in the same week, over 30 years ago.
My buddy signed on with FedEx the same month.
He got to go driving right away, I put in 5 years in the hub at UPS.
My higher income when driving allowed my wife to quit working when we started having kids, and I am so thankful she did.
He doesn't make the kind of money I do but he was allowed to transfer to another location.
He moved to a great fishing lake near a small town.
He never faced the kind of harassment or the physical beat down we endure at UPS delivering heavy industrial stops and working 12-14 hours a day every peak. I would say only 1/2 the guys I started with were able to make it to retirement, so don't regret your decision.
That being said, I am in a good spot since my pension will pay $50,000 to $60,000 a year depending when I go. Right now I am enjoying my cushy rural route and all the perks of being high seniority.
