Starting immediately?

[guessagain]

Just passed driving school on Friday and they told me to give a week's notice for my current job and that they'd call in a week or 2 weeks with my start date. Well today is Monday and they called and want me to start tomorrow. I explained I just gave my week's notice as instructed and am not even in town, they said Wednesday was the latest they could do or I no longer have the job. I haven't even moved to the city yet, the move was supposed to be this weekend. I live 500 miles away and I'm supposed to move my apartment, my pets, everything by tomorrow? (and my apartment isn't even ready yet)? Is there anything I can do at this point? Is it really worth it? I've seen posts that you have to wait a year to retake training, but those were all cases where people failed. If I passed but can't start when they want me to, do you think I'll still be able to retry in a year?

Welcome to UPS. It will only go downhill from now on. Call their bluff.

[allahuakbar]

You’re not gonna get much sympathy here. It’s move or don’t and your decision. You should’ve moved before class

That's a long commute everyday

Beg, plead, and grovel with your existing employer to keep your existing job.
UPS can kick you down the road before your 30 days are up. Then, you are in a new city with no job.
Maybe I missed something, but why did you apply with UPS 500 miles from home?
There has to be locations closer than that...

When was this, today? We've had two screwballs fall for this then.

They only ever do a day's notice.

You don't have to move 500 miles to work at this hole.

Rent a motel room for a few days until your apartment is ready. Good luck with qualifying.

I heard those Afghans make good preloaders, they can’t read English so they’re no different than ours on that level, and they’ll work for minimum wages

A little goats milk and some poppy for after work

I have my doubts.

I have my doubts.

No showers either
