[QUOTE="AlphaMikeBravo, post: 2765412, member: 60001"] I did a short stint in small sort a few years ago. One of the easiest jobs in the hub. They usually put the old ladies up there along with the other workers who really sucked at loading trailers. The senoirity workers would always hog all the gray "forever bags", cause we always ran out and then we would have to use the plastic. And then they would fight and complain if they had to float instead of parking their butt at one set of bins. I didn't mind the work itself but I hated the environment. Anyways, the reason the full time supe wants to bag as much as possible is because it boosts his numbers. Smalls gets paid out on how much they bag and they don't care much for quality anymore. It's all about collecting that bonus at the end of the year. Pretty much goes for all of UPS operations. Why try and build nice walls in the trailers to secure the packages when they can just go with the fastest load rate guy and make their numbers? So yeah there may be a few casualties as far as crushed parcels, but they don't care, their making money. UPS is one of the only few businesses that get paid up front before the job is done. [/QUOTE]
