What are things that irritate you at work?

[FedUPSer9816]

The dispatch game. They already know my pace, how many deliveries I'll successfully do and allow time for pick ups. But they over dispatch. I work the same pace, they have to get me help. Next day better dispatch, but then it creeps back up. Rinse and repeat. Annoying but those checks though so....

Signature required, not home, wants to discuss it with me on their Ring doorbell.

Like I say all the time to the new drivers.

Pretend the doorbell is broke. As soon as they say something knock on the door again and yell UPS. Then start writing the info notice out. It driver's them nuts and they have no idea you can hear them.

I don’t get paid to act, I get paid to be the face of UPS and take care of their customers.

Damn good looking face to, they are getting a good deal at 40 an hour.

Signatures required for airs, not being home, then the guy calls the office saying “when are you going to deliver it?!”

You are actually paid to work according to UPS training.

The same 3 or 4 old fart drivers who should retire by now, but instead sign the Wish List every day so no one else can get the day off.

Seniority has its privileges

Drove 130 miles yesterday. Get back to the building and someone forgot to call the guy to bring more. Had to use my own credit card today. Second time in a month. Management acts all put out that they have to reimburse me. Think I have come to the realization that I work for stupid people.

That’s a bad habit to get into
Make them figure it out

Yes yes....

I see where you are going with this.

Let's redirect this thread into...

Handbrake thread.

I love handbrake threads.

What irritates me the most are people who don’t respect their elders.

Just being old does not make one worthy of respect. Respect is earned.

knocking on door for sig, wait a minute or so , fill the info notice out. Proceed to get back into truck as the customer finally opens their door
