Sooooo how did you guys do it?

[lexitherobot]

making around 110 a week working at ups starting at what seems like a different time everyday. everyone i talk to is already looking for a new job or thinking of just quitting. ups sounded great before i joined the people at HR are great at selling it but once you are actually working and not making any money how do they manage to keep people?

Working two jobs , ups for the benefits and the other full time for the money

sounds awesome if UPS had a stable start time every day instead of having random start times through out the week. we go from starting at 5 to starting at 1:30 through out the week.

The start times will be all over the place until early January but will become more stable after that.

btw thats exactly how HR was selling it. you get great benefits! paid vacation/holidays some of our workers are getting paid 30 dollars an hour lol. what they didnt say was that it takes over 3 months just to get in the union and you dont get anything untill after a year of working while making 120 a week and those guys making 30 dollars an hour have been working for over 20 years.

$33.62/hr.

so for a part time job that pays 10.50 an hour and has the union taking out 50 every check they expect workers to pretty much be on demand during the season? UPS sounds like a great place.

I have enjoyed it.

Put two kids through college, walked one down the aisle and will have a very secure retirement.

The $50/check must be your initiation fee.

How'd you manage to hold out until you got your FT shot?

Stocked shelves from midnight to 4 am at a local grocery store and delivered auto parts on the days that I wasn't driving.

It also helped that my ex was an RN that could support our family until I made FT.

Work two jobs, not sure if you're initially talking about local sort or preload or some other sort lol, but ask if you can work multiple sorts. People call in so much that there are usually spots to be filled each shift.

$110 a week. That's rough. @MyTripisCut spends more than that on cigars!

 

[Brownslave688]

Worked about 15-16 hours a day for the first two years.


Actually took a pay cut when I first started driving.

Shouldn't you be out delivering?


If you worked here you would be. The service failures will start early this year.
