UPS Pay Progression SUCKS!

[Sissy Brown Short Shorts]

I like the pay progression, weeds out the weaklings who can’t cut it. Most people these days want instant gratification you’re not entitled to higher pay until you show the company you’re willing to make a career out of the place. However the vacation progression blows at this place. Takes ten years to get a third week.

OP should try working for 12.50 hr with no prospect of a raise. The progression is a goal I dont mind working for and I'm almost there.

When I started at UPS it was a 90 day progression to top pay. Both PT and FT. And PT and FT had similar wages. I believe drivers made about $.50/hr more then top PT. Is that what you mean by instant gratification?

That all changed in 1982....

Having coming from Express and 17 years never making top rate, I'll take 4 years guaranteed anyday.
