Nope it's been serious they just don't wanna do itRefusing to work as directed? Seriously? As long as it isn't against the law ,unsafe, or immoral, do it.
Not any more.Once again it all depends on how much they like you. Everything at UPS depends on that. One guy can pull stops out of his truck and leave them on the belt and its the end of the world. Another (brownnoser) can do the same thing and all they do is find another home for it. I saw it happen dozens of times.
And don't forget checking their smartphones every 10 minutes. And managers used to tell me I was stealing time by taking a drink of water. Twilight sort manager Friday was telling me everyone they hired in May has already quit because of the heat. Temps next week are projected to be in the upper 90's.Not any more.
The OP is a part timer.
Rod, you would not recognize the place now.
They can't keep the part timers more than a week.
They offer them a $200 bonus per week that they stay (seriously).
They give them pizza one night, wings the next.
UPS is happy if they show up 4 nights a week, and they work like Mrs Wiggins
They work when they want, as slow as they want.
If your safety is at risk, you can refuse under OSHA. Otherwise, work.Is refusing to work as directed still a fireable offense? 2 people at my hub have done it they didn't get fired nor written up? Then my supervisor said it's not a fireable offense just w9ndering if it still is.
We all know PT sups aren't allowed to do anything so you must be talking about FT sups or managers. Of course they know if they try to enforce discipline they (the manager) will be working the unload. I saw it happen last Friday on Twi.discipline isn't an automated thing
if you have lazy sups who don't want to enforce discipline, well there it is
that's not why they avoid it, in a lot of cases a sup would rather do the manual work than the mental effort of being a real supOf course they know if they try to enforce discipline they (the manager) will be working the unload. I saw it happen last Friday on Twi.
Obviously you are not talking about an experienced FT sup. At my building management would just instruct a PT sup to work while a high seniority hourly watches. They call it training.that's not why they avoid it, in a lot of cases a sup would rather do the manual work than the mental effort of being a real sup

Or wanting to pay paper boy delivery wages for a Union job. I respect the young guys for not accepting slave wages for a Union job. Working right next to a guy earning $30 or $35/hr doing the same job.Gee----that sounds like fun. I guess that's what is deserved after giving everyone a participation trophy and making it a crime for you or teachers to lay a hand on your kid if they are out of control.

We are getting fed up with low payI can certainly understand that. Maybe some day PT will get their act together and actually ban together and vote to better their situation---------but I doubt it.
