Your Management Team Poll

Hey all, been working for UPS for a few years now as a loader and decided to write my first post questioning the logistic decisions being made by upper management. It's not even peak season yet, but for the last 2 months I have been having a hard time completing the load for my set of package...

Just want to know my rights as a 22.4 combination driver and that I'm understanding the current UPS National Master Contract Article 22 Section 4b and all that apply for potential grievances. I am located in the southern supplemental region. We've been told volume has been down in our hub and...

Should we be aware as high numbers of management possibly shown the door the next few years? The people in the article are stalling the tsunami? https://news.yahoo.com/musk-experts-urge-pause-training-042927625.html

I assumed since I was part of a union that management would be offered based on seniority. But I've been at UPS for just shy of two years now and I've watched multiple people that have been here less than a year become supervisors before me. I've told the boss that I plan to stick around for...

Almost had my arm ripped off by a Ford friend-350 yesterday and it has me rethinking the safety of pulling/pushing my drivers side mirror. The truck had ladders hanging off the sides and it was too close for comfort. Whats the official method to do it safely? My arm is more valuable than a $50 mirror!

I can get past all they screw ups when they bury crap on the floor or misplace a box here and there but when I come into work and you don’t have half the crap loaded and you’re on your ass on the phone taking pictures of yourself I just want to strangle him glad the week is almost over this...

Does anyone know how seniority works if you go from hourly to management? If I’ve been on preload for 10 years and then decide to go into management, do I go in on the bottom of the seniority list because I’ve never been in management? Do I get to keep my seniority above another supervisor who’s...

So...there's a drunk on the preload. Wreaks of alcohol. Carries a flask. Has a hard time seeing package labels. Nearly runs over employees in the parking lot while coming into work. Boasts about his alcoholism. Admits to being under the influence of alcohol and cannabis while on the clock. etc...

Don't know how many supervisors/managers are on this forum, but I need some advice and thought I'd give this forum a shot. I was hired as a pt pkg dispatch supervisor and have currently been in this position for the last 4 months. I previously worked in the air bldg as a union employee and had...

I started a week ago and I was suppose to be paid this Friday for last week and system didn't show a live check in process nor direct deposit. Management said glitch but how can their be a glitch for some and not for others. It was simply sheer negligence due to employees being seasonal. IT IS...

I’m an unloader/worked there for 3 months So, this happened Last Friday: I was unloading (I’m a part timer with seniority) and near the end of my shift, I felt discomfort in my wrist. I told FT supervisor and he told me to talk to safety. I told them that this was on the clock and that i had...

im a yard walker in OK and I get to work do the usual and print off my yard walks well before I get to exit the office door my sup was like some driver from NJ broke down and left his trailer with 80% load in it on yard and we gotta offload it to another working trailer. So she and I and 1 other...

Hey everyone! Been with the brown for a few years now and only just found out about this AWESOME place. How cool So I work in a small mountain town hub in the Rockies...6 preloaders, 2 unloaders, 2 scanners and 4 part time sups. Due to how well ups treats their part timers....we turn and burn...

How long should I wait for a retro check? I was flipped from TCD to ft packages and after my first week ft my pay rate went from $30.77 TCD RATE to $18.75. HR is to blame because they put my ft seniority date before my seniority date as a cover driver. I notified HR and my center manager about...

So I'll just get right to it. They said I'm getting a third warning letter and a 3 day suspension (rightfully so I'll say) but after they told me a couple days passed and they never did. Right after that whole fiasco happened I had some huge family problems and I haven't been to work in a week...

So I know this site is pretty anti management which is fine, I'm mainly interested in management because I've had a little experience with it, and enjoy helping and teaching others. I'm going into my mid 20s and looking for a career, I want to be able to make enough to provide a nice life for...

So You've Been Promoted, Now What? - Forbes I started my career at UPS and worked there for many years. Back then, they had a big promote-from-within culture (and they still do). One day, I was a driver. The next day, I walked in wearing a suit and tie. My first operations assignment was...

Here's my story: I did a year of preload and was offered the Local Sort sup position. I took it to expand my resume and make some more money. I've been the LS sup for 2.5 years now and I've almost completed my degree. I'm thinking about starting my own business, but I was wondering if anyone...

I’m new on the forum and UPS. Im going to try and be as thorough/short as possible. So I’ve been with the company a little over 2 months. One month as a pre-loader, the other month and a half as PT supe. So sometime during my first week as PT supe a steward at my hub went around secretly (not...
