Worthwhile giving 2 weeks notice?

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Are those terms "rehire/not rehire" applicable only to UPS in this case? Or are those answers given to the other employer to basically imply that "yes, you should hire this person" or "no, you shouldn't hire this person"?

UPS only.

Back in the day they would tell the potential employer much more but due to our litigious society they are very limited in what they are willing (allowed) to say.

I called in last week to the last three of my six for six days to cover for being out of town and they didn't even relay this message to my supervisor.

Who did you call?

Ghostbusters?

Not even that

Zenathecat worked here from this day to this day

No no no no

They won't give you a 2 week notice when they fire you.
2 weeks notice isn't required.

I won't even bother describing the situation at hand in detail. Suffice to say that at the Lexington Hub I've been lied to about advancement opportunities, disrespected by supervisors despite my steadfast loyalty to them over the past six months, and so on and so forth. I want out to pursue something else but I'm unsure if I should put in a two-weeks notice for a job as trivial as loader.

I called in last week to the last three of my six for six days to cover for being out of town and they didn't even relay this message to my supervisor. Thus, I came in the next week, ready to work, and I get an earful of "where the hell were you yesterday?" despite having called Day Sort the week prior to let them know. With them being so disorganized to the point of not being able to relay my messages, I feel that I'd be doing myself a disservice if I were to quit with a two-weeks notice when I could get out in an instant tomorrow if I wanted. People have warned me of "what if your next employer wants to call UPS to get a feel for you and they give you the bad news that you quit without notice?". To that I say, I passed the part-time supervisor tests five months ago and nobody has approached me about advancement, I have been promised little trinkets (shirts, gloves, hats) for meeting goals but have never gotten them (that's a minute thing that I don't care about but it illustrates the point I'm trying to make), and when I called in to let them know of my absence they couldn't even let my supervisor know I wasn't going to be there and that I'd be using six for six days. So I bet you if and when my next potential employer calls UPS to ask about me, UPS will be saying "...who?"

So should I just go ahead and quit on the spot or still give two-weeks notice in spite of all this?

Always found it better not to burn bridges with previous employers. You never know when you need that reference or even a job back. Life’s funny like that.

Work history is important.

 

[El Correcto]

I’d give the 2 minute notice after my last shift and never go back. Might even be my retirement speech.

 

[dookie stain]

Wtf is a six for six

 

[zubenelgenubi]

You don't have to list UPS on future applications. You only worked there six months, that's not going to help you get any new job. It might actually be worse than no work history. And you dodged a bullet not getting the PT supervisor job.

Having said that, give two weeks. You may need to come back.

UPS is not allowed to say anything beyond "rehire" or "not rehire" when potential employers call about former employees.

Standard corporate guidelines share, start date end date and pay, unless you are a DBag then they could say hire or no rehire. FYI UPS puts everyone on no rehire list when they leave regardless if you left voluntarily or not from what I hear

6 months of loyalty........I about died laughing

Lasted longer than most pre loaders at our center

 

[Jackburton]

6 months, I suppose that’s a long time in today’s society of lilly pad job hopping. Anyways, thanks for your pension credits.

Welcome to Ups and put your 2 weeks notice in and run

 

[Coldworld]

It always best to take the high road.

Why.... ups doesn’t do it most of the time....friend em’...

 

[Coldworld]

If I get treated in the way I've described after being loyal to them then I see no reason why I have to continue that trend if they refused to practice it with me to begin with.

Just go....it won’t really matter at all in the long term... friend Em’

 

[Coldworld]

I’ve seen people on the no hire list be hired again.... and that includes ft. People and seasonal Christmas hires...that list doesn’t mean ....

Why.... ups doesn’t do it most of the time....friend em’...

Just because they don't, doesnt mean you can't be the bigger person

More like 6 months in the state penitentiary...

yes quit because you should be following up on things if you want to be a supervisor
