Yup....turnover is high. There are about 75 loaders in my building. Out of the 25 in my center....the top 3 in seniority (myself included) have worked there more than 5 years...the rest about a year or less.Hr here has to hire 5-10 people a week during non peak times to replace those that quit.
We also have very low turnover in my center.

Not everyone can work in The Bubble of Goodness.......
I work in the Retention Department in my hub and can tell you for a fact we are having the worst year ever on new hires. All the young kids fresh out of school that they are hiring have never worked a day in their lives. I had summer jobs growing up, my parents made me learn how to work, this generation has no idea. Every one of these "X-Box Generation" kids usually quit before the end of their probationary period or are terminated for attendance. We are usually done hiring for peak the first week of November, not this year. Looks like we will be hiring all peak long just to stay status quo, we will not make staffing for peak. Hang on for a wild ride in the hubs, it is not going to get any better.
Pick up a few extra bucks without a long term commitment.While I don't disagree with you to a degree... it's disingenuous to solely blame the "kids" for being lazy. What is UPS offering these temporary peak employees? Minimum wage, essentially. They won't get benefits, pensions, or even have a job in a few months... all for the honor of busting their butts for what they could earn doing next to nothing somewhere else. There are plenty of good reasons to work at UPS as a permanent employee... but there are almost none when it comes to being a seasonal package handler.

This holiday season is going to be ROUGH! We are in the middle of an online buying frenzy. And we don't have the peeps to handle the flow. Yikes!
Where I work only 2 out of 50 quit a year of PT force on night shift. Bennies and getting into pension plan keeps a low turnover. Nobody vested ever quits here. They are too smart. The ones that quit have not met the 5 year vested mark.
