I got the boot on Christmas eve. With no check.. I assume I get it in the mail. Woop de do

Here you have to go the the hub's customer service counter to get your last check. If you haven't turned in your uniform, you turn it in there too.

Your final check will be at the center either 12/31 or 1/2. Call first to make sure it is there before you go or ask your driver to drop it off at your house.

LOL you guys get helpers that live on the route? Ours came from homeless shelters this year.

They told the drivers to collect the uniforms before issuing checks to the helpers today.

They're only supposed to hold the final check, not the last two. That's BS

Wow, the homeless shelter. I guess the day labor places are going belly up.

No problem. I've read enough posts on this board that suggests being a full time employee with UPS is not the way to go for me. The driver I was with this year confirmed that working at the hub is no fun. Besides I have other ways of making money. I'll just be doing those again.

Slingin Weed?

I suppose it's an additional incentive for the helper to turn in the uniform.

No more like aluminum cans and #1 plastic bottles. Also Pinecone Research surveys and other stuff online are some ways to make some money. I just wish I could put my Linux knowledge to use to make money.

I was lucky. They ran out of uniforms and I got to wear my own clothes each day.

They haven't officially told me that I'm not going to work anymore. They just said it's on a need basis. My driver said he thought he would need me again. I suspect it's going to be busy next week with all the online deals that Amazon has going and all the gift cards that are being redeemed. We'll see. I'd like at least another week of work.

Normally on Christmas Eve we send all of our rentals back. This year we sent some back but there is still a row of rentals still placarded as UPS vehicles.

I drove by my old center on Christmas day (on my way to visit relatives, not to see UPS) and they still had several rentals parked next to the fence.

I find it fitting that you felt the need to add the disclaimer.

I would bet my check that you purposely drove by the center.

Grow tomato's, not weed.

I will take that bet. How much did you make last week?

But my helper was promised a permanent position.

You shouldn't make that promise if you didn't want to keep him.

I was excited to have him in the beginning but then we just fell into the same ole dull routine...

I bet they say that to all the boys.

If the helper is off the street then probably won't work. If the helper is from the inside the helper might possibly work. Now, with the new contract UPS will probably break routes and run helpers to the 15th of January.
