hey guys!
great site! I believe this is the number one forum for ups info from the many ive visited in the last year and a half. I moved to the midwest and began working for UPS part-time, about 18months ago. Let me be clear, i love my job, and its the perfect shift for a college student, but i feel the blinds of reality have been pulled back. Basically im starting to get really ticked off with the way management treats myself and others. I load my trailers at an average pace of 300-400 packages per hour, and pride myself on the quality of my walls. I am also extremely safety conscious, for myself and for others. Ups mgmt always has something to say to me about quality, or safety, or production. No matter what i do THEY find something!, and i respectfully take there advice. The problem lies in the massive contradiction, tonight i got told that i should never step over packages and to keep my egress clear, which i do to the fullest practical extent: but when there's lots of flow coming down and falling off the sides am i immediately to pick up each individual package? because if so that decreases my production by x amount, and so on. Im just frankly sick of being belittled with negative comments all the time, and being talked down to and yelled at like im doing something terribly wrong all the time and im lucky to have a job at all. I want it to change, and im afraid if i start filing grievances they will come down hard on me and pretty much " harass me till i quit" which is there unspoken policy at my hub. I have, however documented and dated ALOT of the crap that ive been told. i wish i could bring a camera and record a nights work, just to prove im not crazy
