Yeah he kind of did lol, thanks for the kind word Milkman, it's nice to hear casual conversation from people every once in awhile. I understand what your saying, to be honest I came into the job with high expectations on my shoulders, I have two friends who work at The center I do, they have both been there over 20 years and put in a good reference for me and told them I'll work hard, so I came into the job and they pretty much tried to test me from the beginning to see if the talk my friends said was true or not. Well being the person I am, I'm not going to let them know I'mbecause I have more than I can handle, I personally try to look at it in a good perspective, a perspective in which "if I have more trucks to load, there's more time" so I do gain about 10-15 minutes each day by having a heavier load. I don't give my sups any lip or argument like the other co-workers do because I know they aren't really the one who controls the whole ordeal, it's the upper management, all in all I'm just thankful to have a job, I have no reason to complain at all. If/when I do make full time I don't plan to burn it up, that just causes for careless mistakes and accidents. As a loader I don't see why I shouldn't be expected to work hard, that's what i get paid $11hr for instead of $7.25, agian thanks for the kind advice.
Yes the ones in Atlanta pull their strings.Sad because a lot of mgrs I saw come and go for the most part were ok and I got along with them. After I got a 3 day suspension for an unreported accident.( I knocked over a lampost with my p500, was backing up a curved driveway and the post was shrouded in bushes and was hard to see..The husband said don't worry about it..It was old and needed to be replaced anyway, I will fix it..Well a month later his wife calls and tells UPS what I did after her husband filed for divorce and did not fix it like he said he would) From that point on if I so much as bent a blade of grass on someones property I reported it! Lesson learned... The Division MGR who gave me the time off told me 3 things to make it at UPS...........#1.Come to work everyday..#2..Be here on time..And #3..Do the best job you can.......fairly simple things to do..If you can do your job whether it be 3,4,or 6 trucks....... and you feel good about yourself just be aware as you know...the company will push you to your limits so just work smart and safe and if you can do that....You may someday retire like many of us did.......
