Help.
Ok, so basically UPS has crazy expectations, everyone knows that already. This is what happened.
1. I start at ups, brown nose (lol) a little trying to do good, do good. Have even done the DA spot in my building on multiple occasions, one time for a week while the regular guy was on vacation. Haven't been there 6 months yet. Idk why they picked me either. Anyway...
2. I switch to loading. Start to hate UPS basically, but keep it mostly private, though I think some of it might inevitably vibrate from me because I really don't like it but am stuck until I can find something else....which is hard. Anyway....
3. Randomly put in the primary one day. Unloading feeder.....**ty load of course....and I was placing a package on the unloader, checking the label and all of a sudden my hand gripping the bottom corner of the package was smashed into the corner of the built. It hurt pretty bad and for fear it might be worse than it looked I went ahead and reported it.
Then all of a sudden I'm back loading, and today I go in and had 6 missloads yesterday....I have maybe had....3 before this. The place runs like **** soups working......all day........everrrrry day. EVERY day lol. Getting a warning letter for that.
Also been being observed and getting a warning letter for not being safe enough. When I asked the soup what about everyone else in the building he says yeah well I can't watch all 30 people. Youre the one getting hurt so were watching you.
Shop steward was there, and he doesn't like me for some reason, no clue why. Maybe cause I'm smart.....maybe because I'm white....I never really see this guy being nice to any of the white people....even the white bosses he HAS to respect he talks to differently than others. Anyway.....we had got in a little verbal confrontation in the primary when I was randomly back there, during which he said he didn't give a **** about me because I was a "low man on the totem pole".....
So when Op Soup asks steward if he has anything to say he goes naw im cool he said hes cool and just leaves....I feel like I should have done something more. I want to file grievances because of the supervisors working every day but cant because the guy is really just....idk hes a real jerk he just doesnt like me for some reason and it makes me feel real awkward and i dont like dealing with him.
I guess I better start looking for a new job yeah? It sucks because I'm smart I'd like to do something more in UPS....the repetitive physical labor that requires little to no thinking really is driving me insane in combination with getting up early. Just not a morning person.
Sorry to rant and complain, I'm normally never like that. Shoot, you can check my old posts and see how happy I was to get a job here. Sadly, it's true. UPS sucks ass and is a miserable place to work at.
I'm gonna start looking elsewhere, but it's hard to find a year round part time that will work with going to college in my area. Alas...the trap. The matrix.
