I feel kinda bad for (some of) the people who were led to believe that if they showed up everyday and worked really hard there would likely be a permanent position waiting for them at the end of peak season. In my building anyway, that is simply not gonna be the case. There are 4 or 5 full time...
Started with UPS around Nov. 6th. Long story short, worked as a loader, got shunted to unloading, was fed up because of the peak season hours. Quit on the 30th of last month and 3 weeks later STILL have not seen hide nor hair of the paycheck for my last week there.

I got hired for preload on the 21st of Nov. I work 3 to whatever, and always stay until everything is done, not just my line, but the whole line. Never been late, never missed a day. What are my chances for keeping the job?
I was hired as seasonal driver and just received a second packet regarding benefits. Why would I get this? Is it just something they automatically mail out??
For those of you in hubs that have switched from manual sorting done by humans to high-speed, automated sorting, how did this job effect the employment of the workers that the automation replaced? Were there layoffs?
