new hire

Hello comrades! New hire here, I've done some reading, but I decided to just consolidate all my questions here. A bit about me, I was a step van and EDV driver for Amazon. One of the reasons I left was that I realized how much of a deadlock they have on their employees. I'll save that...

I recently was offered a part-time warehouse/package handler job in Las Vegas; Mon.-Fri. 16:00 - 22:30 starting on 08/21/2023. I have a handful of questions, the first one being, how long is the probationary period, from what understand it is 30 working days, so is that 30 days from the date I...

I am a new hire... and found out I’m 32 weeks pregnant. I haven’t finished my month yet (I think I’m at day 22?). I was always told I couldn’t have kids, and before I took this job I had been in Alaska backpacking for three months straight. I started having stomach pains on the trip but I...

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...

Hi everyone, I’m seeking some guidance and hopefully reassurance that I haven’t been duped. I’m about a month into my career with UPS. I’m coming from USPS and before that, FedEx. I was hired as a full time, permanent driver, based on my experience in the delivery service. My concern is this...

I am new to this process but applied to be a Casual Package Driver and had my tour last week Monday (6/29). When I got home I received a text message saying I am now able to fill out the 2nd part of the application which I did and got my DOT physical, as they requested. Does anyone have any...

Hello so I was hired on as a seasonal night shift loader in early November. Well I had always thought of UPS as a future career so I knew hard work was a part of it, not the issue. I routinely feel my supes aren't listening to me but just trying to verbally please me and not taking action...

So I was hired as a package handler at the rate of 17/hr. I just finished up my first week which was training. I signed into upsers and noticed on my time card I was being paid at a rate of 14/hr. Should I tell someone at my hub, or was I just being payed less for training?

So I've been a cover driver for 3 months now and I'm struggling with package cars that are 160-170 stops with 360 packages. My time that I should be done is 6:20pm but even with help I dont get done till 7:30pm. I can get 120-140 stops done on time no problem but anything over that I struggle...

Trying to apply for a position that available and keep getting this message... what does it mean? Are they not hiring? How do I get thru to complete the application process?

Friends, I was just hired on as a package handler, in my second week on the belts and unload. They also hired me to drive through the end of the year. I go to intragrad school this next week. Once I complete, should I graduate, will I be driving full time or only on a needed basis? Also...

I started as a seasonal driver in November and they hired me full time about 3 1/2 months ago. They said they would give me a heads up about a week before they were going to officially bring me back. I haven’t heard anything since that time. I call consistently to check up and no one ever has...

So I applied for a full time driver position, completed the integral process and have been working for UPS for more than the 30 work days required to officially become a full time driver. Management says because the last few weeks have been peak season that they are unsure if I can handle the...

I'm a package handler and my start date was 10/30/2018. Before I was hired in my HR rep told me I would be a permanent worker as long as my start date was before 11/1/2018. So now I've worked 3 days and I talked to my supervisor today and was told that I am seasonal and that HR didn't know what...

Hello all! I've done a lot of reading on this forum, more than I am probably suppose to do, considering the fact that I haven't had my first day yet. I figured out I would be in local 804 if everything goes well. I understand the No/Yes debate and I'm tying to figure out if that's why I haven't...

After 2 days of in the classroom safety procedures and all of that was done we were assigned where to go. They put me as a loader. My trainer was very nice and helped me all night, he taught me almost everything I needed to know and my supervisor was cool too. Getting used to the scanner...

Okay... so I literally just started doing package handling this last Wednesday at the Hodgkins UPS, and I worked the whole week. Last night I just sprained my foot. Outside of work. I know there’s the 30 day probational period. Can I call off say for a couple days to a week? Or is that a...
