Here, for a PT person to get a 22.3 job, it has to be newly created, and those usually only come around after new contracts that require them. Other established 22.3 are open to everyone, so it's usually a FT person that gets those.

What does "no full time jobs for gals" mean?

 

[Red Devil]

It’s fine guys I’ll just continue to do Amazon Flex . Where UPS falls short Amazon will fill in . I’ve realized long ago I won’t get more than 3.5 hrs working with UPS after 15 years . Been doing Amazon Flex for the last year or 2 . It’s great . Thanks for all the helpful tips . Good luck over working yourself for this company . And being it’s Bitch !

I thought you hated driving why are you driving for Amazon?

Edit: saw your updates about losing your husband, sorry to hear that. Hope everything works out for you.

As a women . Unless you go into FT driver there are no available FT position for women . Even after being there for 15 years only thing available are the cake PT positions . Sucks that after being with a company for so long nothing is available . I’ve had my name on endless Iists for 22.3 or other full time spots only to not get it . I’ve went and tried to drive on 3 different occasions didn’t pass probation. ( wasn’t fast enough ) Guess I’ll stick to High Value and Driving Chaser . The picture below is what my truck looked like week 1 training .

That was my truck everyday when I did my 30

I’m a driver and been with the company 19 years, still trying to get a 22.3 job because of the arthritis in my feet, I ain’t got long. Might have to go the ada route.

 

[Just A UPS Guy]

Let me know how you feel once you are injured and they dick you even more . I have mad family in the company and know how it operates. You are just another number . And easily replaceable .

Once I'm injured? That's awfully presumptive. Most don't end up debilitated from this place.

What about...

Diabolical

@burrheadd , you got sups built like this in that center over there?

 

[2Down2Many2Go]

i get your point. A lot of part timers are working full time hours. Most of this is due to the pandemic.

So, UPS creates a bunch of FT jobs now, what happens when things get back to normal in a year or two?

They no longer need you FT. They don’t need you working 44 hours in 4.5 days. They now need PTers working 4-5 hour days like it used to be.

Do they lay you off as a FT employee and hire a bunch of PT employees?

If they hire a bunch of FT employees now due to the increased volume, there could be massive layoffs in the future, and massive unemployment payments when things get back to normal.

UPS is in business to make money, I really can’t fault them for their wait and see attitude.

If this is the new norm, by all means staff accordingly. We will find out.

The pandemic has fast-forward e-commerce by 3 years, and it's not going to slow down anytime soon. Also UPS is struggling to get new hires in because of the competitive starting wage.

But the OP thinks we need jobs just for the gals.

That photo would be a light, easier route at my building.
Usually, you can't even see inside the thing because it's so full.

How many stops. I cant remember i tried package 20 years ago i had 190 to 200 stops a day with 100 signature stops 40 residential and about 50 pickup. They would tell me i had to start at 8am but punch in at 830. Then they took 1 hour lunch everyday even though they pressured me to take 30. I would get in at 7pm then i had a ton of next day air to unload then i was to gas it up and back it in then i could go that was like 745. that.i went 22.3 i make less per hour but i start at 2 am Monday 4am Tuesday to Friday take a 15 min lunch and work until 2 pm 3 or 4pm. Go home be with my son. Still made 97k

 

[cachmeifucan]

Most would rather take that route . Rather than burning themselves out every day . That sounds like a much stressful gig . And was able to spend time with family . Well done . Any injuries while driving package car .
