[QUOTE="bemyers, post: 336693, member: 14350"] The transfer went through. April 14, 2008 - The HR lady responsible for hiring to my destination location calls. She says they will have a preload position open on April 28. I say that I don't graduate from junior college till May 2. She says maybe I could come in on May 5. I say that preload won't work with my schedule. She says that if I do want to transfer I need a letter from my manager (I though this had already been resolved). I don't won't to work preload anyway, so I don't worry about it. April 21, 2008 - The HR lady calls me again, she tells me that they now have a local sort position, on May 5th. I say I'll do it. She says she going on vacation, but she still needs a letter from my manager. That day at work I tell my manager he needs to write this letter. He gets really annoyed again, I tell him to talk to the workforce planning manager. I figure at this point if the transfer goes through I'll move. If not I put in my two weeks the day I was supposed to transfer. April 24, 2008 - I go into see the workforce planning manager. He says everything is set. I say that the HR lady was saying she needed a letter from management or something. He says he'll call her the following monday, as she is on vacation this week. April 30, 2008 - I call the HR lady and leave a message. I go in to talk to the workforce planning manager at work. He says they're expecting me on monday. I say that's great. He says the HR lady was just in his office and I just missed her. April 31, 2008 - The HR lady calls and leaves a message, saying to show up on monday. I call back and leave a message asking who my supervisor will be. She calls back and leaves a message and tells me the name of my supervisor. May 3, 2008 - I move the the destination town. It is a collge town, and summer housing doesn't open up for a few days. I move in with my brother, he lives in a fraternity house. The guys party all night long, I get no sleep. I want to move out of there as soon as possible. May 5, 2008 - I report to work. The building is extremely small compared to where I had previously worked. There are three other guys besides me working with the boxes. Two other guys do customer service and clerk. Everyone's really cool. It also turns out that they haven't hard a PT supervisor for over a year, but the same day I come in a PT supervisor transfers there as well. All the guys are worried cause they haven't had a supervisor for a long time, in fact they've been doing all the supervisor work themselves. Some of these guys didn't even know there was such a thing as PT supervisors. Some of the other guys are upset, because no one at the center even asked if any of the hourlys wanted a supervisor job, and apparently some of the guys on preload did. The sort is pretty much a human movable conveyor belt that you put between the feeder and the package car. They go right accros with one guy unloading, one guy scanning, and one or two guys loading. The feeders only have one destination from this location, so it is impossible to misload (except loading local packages). I'm surprised to find that management is yelling at all. The whole place is totally different. May 6, 2008 - I found another place to live, but I can't move in til friday. So I've got three more nights at the fraternity house. Three more nights of hell. I guess I only have to sleep there, I'll hang out on campus the rest of the time. Note - The irony is that I was hoping that the transfer wouldn't go through so I could have an excuse to quit. Oh well. I'm going to try to find another job. I'm studying computer science, and I hope I can find a computer programming job.
