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?

Lol. Ups is just one big cluster..they just don't care. Get out as fast as you can. It never gets any better. You're right, if your new employer calls UPS,they won't have the time or desire to even know who you are.

I would say that for many jobs... not this one... it won’t make a difference either way....do they really deserve a 2 week notice when they will probably tell the op to leave when he tells them this....

 

[Coldworld]

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.

No other company in the US has a no hire list??? Highly doubtful...

You are probably right

 

[Coldworld]

You are probably right

So when you retire get all your paperwork straight and tell your scrub center manager that today is your last day .... they don’t deserve any more warning than that....they have proven that over and over....

 

[Coldworld]

You are probably right

I know bud.... cold knows best...

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.

 

[upschuck]

Ups does not give out any work verification, they direct employers to "The Work Number", to verify employment.

And I thought all they could say was terminated, or resigned.

Wtf is a six for six

You are allowed 6 occurrences (call in,late)without getting written up for it. Once you get written up for it then you can't have another occurrence in 9 months. It's in the Central don't know about the other regions

 

[dookie stain]

Ours is three occurrences in 90 days then you can’t have another in 9 months..but if you call in sick you don’t have to call in the next day and you still don’t have to come in so I guess that’s technically six days

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

He was loyal his WHOLE CAREER... is there no credit for being a loyal CAREER employee anymore...
6mo is a career for most handlers, congrats on making it to Handler retirement! Enjoy the spoils

I worked there 9 years and didn't give two weeks because I didn't think I'd ever return. Apparently that put me on the no hire list. They don't care about you or how long you worked for them. Just put in 2 weeks and avoid getting boned.

Yeah, that sounds right!
Hope you weren't surprised.
Sounds like your sup cared as much for you as you did him.

No, I actually cared about her and liked her. I thought she'd be more understanding, especially since I gave them almost 10 years of my life.

What have you done for me lately?

I really don't give a about your opinion It's a stupid policy, period.

I'd bet that she thought that you would be more mature by giving appropriate notice.
