Retention Bonus Reduced to $82.00

[MECH-lift]

We have some drivers that come in early on the clock also. If there isn’t a lot of early a.m.’s those drivers end up working preload also.

@Bastiatian is right, it does seem like an odd strategy. Especially when they’re paying referrals but not for people to stick around.

Didn’t want to pay $18 but they’ll pay drivers $41? Lol ….they ked themselves.
13 weeks till peak

Good. Give me back my 70 hour weeks. Daddy needs a new pair of shoes.

You guys had a retention bonus?

Watch nobody show up next week
LMAO

The building i retired dropped the MRA and of course 3/4 of the preload quit. So instead of paying preloaders $20 an hour they were paying drivers $40 an hour to come in and preload. Better,not Bigger

And that's $40 an hour turns into $60 an hour overtime because they are on the clock longer than they are supposed to be.

This is probably only coming on a planet that's desperate for employees but does everything they can to either make them quit or fire them.

Which planet is that?

We don't have that here but regardless if it's been an extra hour loading your truck they're going to take an hour's worth of work off of your truck so it all turns into over time one way or another

I'd show up early and load my own truck but then who would I blame for all my late air?

Cut preload costs, so preload can't wrap...drivers leave late, late air, out late, 9.5s, pay more in the grand scheme of things?

Brilliant. You can run your company like a business or a circus. It's clear which model UPS uses.

That's been the problem at ups since they went public. IE cuts preload hours, so they just sling everything in the trucks to make numbers. Driver's time goes up because of crappy loads and center manager is throwing a hiss fit because the dm is reaming him on the conference calls. It's like every shift is a separate franchise within the company and they only care about their own numbers. Only problem is that they will never comprehend that one number always affects another number.
I'm thankful I don't have to worry about all their silly made-up numbers to keep my job.

UPS scrapped the bottom of the barrel back in the late 90's.
Hiring mentally challenged individuals who had a social worker do their work to show them how it had to be done, some for weeks.
A few actually became great P/T Twilight workers, but it took them months to do so.

 

[Babagounj]

Does anyone have an actual flow chart of how UPS is structured ?
It was explained to me decades ago and I could use a refresher.
