Just a side note - Never, ever, EVER sign anything, ever, for any reason, without a union rep present.
im really starting to get sick of this job.. busting my ass for 9 bucks an hour and still being told its not PERFECT and having to sign crap. They have me on trucks that have errors every damn day - such as twice the amount of packages the truck can hold, But they complain about some misplaced boxes. what the hell do they expect with that kind of pay?
Here is how to be content at UPS (It is impossible to be happy there)
1. Never sign anything.
2. Ignore superviser fluff, which is 90% of what your supervisor says. Let it roll off. Get an iPod.
On a positive note, you won't get fired for misloads. Knowing that, move forward, ignore the ass holes.
... Its just bugging me now because i have no idea what will happen. ..
...my question is, what can the misload paper do? can i get fired?
That is why.
UPS's form of motivation. Sucks, don't it? Welcome to kindergarden playground from hell.
Don't worry, the longer you are here, it only gets worse.
Grow some thick skin, cause even though it doesn't get any better, it does get tolerable. ...
by the way, im starting to think my supervisor is switching boxes in my trucks on purpose. Its always the really small ones that he points out and i feel like theres no way i put them there. It sounds ridiculous but i honestly think hes doing it. I went 2 days without any misloads while doing 3 trucks when he wasnt around.
Having been a preloader a few years before becoming a supe I'll say this: slow down and focus. I was ridden for speed and such everyday (even though I was way above the number they were looking for). I went along with it and they kept asking more, eventually the misloads started. As others have said, you can't be fired for how fast you work. You can (eventually) be fired for misloads but this is a long process in itself and even if you somehow were fired, you'd likely get your job back anyway. We've had someone who has punched an hourly get their job back with backpay....Do the best you can and let the rest just roll off. You mentioned you were new? how new? I ask because progressive discipline for a new hire over misloads is something I've not heard of here (at my building).

I resent that statement. I am happy at UPS. Do sups sometimes say things that make me roll my eyes? Sure. However, no company can make me unhappy. I am just not willing to give a corporation that much power.
Why in the world would i not initial beside my performance from the day before? If I had misloads it is me that should take responsibility for it.

"I resent that statement" What, did you always want to say that or something? Look it up.
