[QUOTE="dillweed, post: 240351, member: 5938"] I feel your pain, Penguin, but feel it's unfair to rate your co-workers as lazy and worthless. UPS is the type of place where you will never be good enough, trust me. They will ride the heck out of any employee who reacts to it. By telling you they want more, you try to give them more. That's your nature, a great worth ethic and to be respected. But they will never do you any favors in return. Many of the workers you are complaining about have experienced the same thing you are going through. They came to the company wanting to do a good job and be respected for it but they were not. Eventually they learned to pace themselves, give a fair days work for a fair days pay (union language) and came to ignore the pressure of management. It isn't right but UPS seems to tear down a person's desire to succeed. No one really understands why they do this but they do. Many of us here hate the way the system works but we enjoy hard work and the benefits. We learned to disregard what management says to or about us and don't judge our self esteem on what the company says. Take pride in yourself and what you do. Keep to your own standards and hold your head high because you are a good worker. But please don't kill yourself. Work safely, follow the methods and learn to say "I'm doing the best I can". If you hurt yourself trying to prove your worth, they will put you through the wringer. As far as others taking days off, disregard it. Never worry about what others are doing or getting away with. It will destroy you. Mind your own business, do the best you can without killing yourself, punch out at the end of the shift and be glad you survived another day. Read the posts here and you'll see a pattern of hardworking folks who love their jobs but often resent the way management treats them. I'm not suggesting that you turn lazy, just don't let them hound you into unsafe behavior and please don't mis-judge your co-workers until you'be been around a few years. Take good care and let us know how your'e doing. Come in and ask or complain when you need to, we all understand what you're going through. dw [/QUOTE]
