[QUOTE="dillweed, post: 821376, member: 5938"] Rants are fine, we all do it here. All centers differ and no one knows why they do what they do. On the book, yes. I have thought that if I had started taking detailed notes when I started that I'd have one heck of a book. Being new and excited, then learning little by little how it works, how they manipulate and how feelings have changed would be most interesting. The psychological impact of working for UPS. Our sups don't leave before us. In fact, they stay and do paperwork. Safety guy running to car? Maybe a quick smoke? Red and green cards. Yep, we went through a time when the preloaders cars had signs on them. We also had a manager who made the pt sups whose belts had many misloads wear a life vest with a sign saying "I'm drowning in misloads". They wore it all morning. I offered to make one sups vest disappear if he'd give it to me but he refused. He's still there but the manager is not. Our drivers used to be able to come in a bit early to help us finish up loads but no longer can they do it. They must wait until their start times to help if the preloader isn't finished yet. Many don't like it because it gets them out of the building later. Yes indeed, it's a puzzling place to work. After many years of disappointment (sp?), frustration and rage I've settled down to watching, listening and often being amused. It gets better and worse in cycles but there is always drama. Have fun!
