[QUOTE="dillweed, post: 905077, member: 5938"] Sleeve is right. Work at a normal, comfortable pace. Of course we move with a purpose and some sense of urgency but keep it within your ability. I've been through the same crap. Killing myself to prove worthy and getting slammed all the more for it. Those two who mouth off might just have to jump in and help you unload once you stop killing yourself. That's allright. Stay friendly enough, even keeled and show no anger. Small sort as it is, best to try to get along with the few co-workers you have even if it means letting their bs fly in and out of your head. Just nod and smile, but let them know when they have crossed a line. Comments about Mom? Let them know that you don't really want to hear any more of that crap. If they persist take it to upper management. Do NOT ever get involved in crap talk back and forth with them. Keep your nose clean as a whistle. Be able to laugh at yourself but also maintain respect for yourself. If you cut back a bit and they help you unload it may get stinkier for awhile. Ride it out, let them cry if they want. Just keep doing your best, watch your tongue, let what bs fly that you can and let them know when you've had enough. If you don't respect yourself no one else will either. It's hard as hell to survive at UPS. There is a fine line and it takes awhile to find your way with it. If there is anyone you trust, talk to them.
