[QUOTE="air_dr, post: 874265, member: 29929"] All the best to you in whatever you ultimately do. I would like to share my own experience for whatever its worth: I started as a preloader and was quite content at first, but then, after what happened to be about 8 months, things started getting ugly. There was a heavy handed push for higher productivity, any morale went down the toilet, we had operational problems similar to what you described at the start of the thread, and every day I looked forward to going home, grabbing the newspaper, and looking through the jobs section. I did find another job around the same time our area got a new friend/T sup. It was getting close to my one year anniversary at UPS so I wnted to do both jobs temporarily, which the schedule allowed, so I could get my vacation pay from UPS. I have been very grateful that I did not walk away from UPS, because this other job, in short, was definitely not a good fit, and I realized that after about a week at the new place. Meanwhile at UPS, things began to change for the better under the leadership of this new friend/T sup, who I have come to view as one of the best bosses I have ever worked under. The rest, as they say, is history... Different supervisors and managers have come and gone. Some have been better than others, and before I judge any of them, I try to remind myself that I have also been an imperfect employee... During another, again difficult time at UPS as a preloader, I began to explore the option of air driving. That is something I got into and have been doing very happily for a number of years now. I am a firm believer in Providentail guidance, and that things, both good and bad, happen for a purpose. Again, all the very best to you, Asinine. [/QUOTE]
