Calling out of work on a 30 day probationary period?

[wayfair]

I started off seasonal for 2 months with perfect attendance. I just started my 30 day probationary period when I got rehired and now there is a snow storm...by the time my shift ends there will be a foot on the ground with 40mph winds. Do you think they will hold it against me of I call out today?

how much is your car insurance deductible???

I wonder if he made it in or if we should call search and rescue?

Haha I called out and I guess a lot of other people did because they understood.

A 12 inch snow? You call that a snow storm?

Wimps, sounds like a good time to take the dogs for a stroll...

12 inches of powder.

That's play time.

Currently delivering in a blizzard in MA (on lunch) "Normal work day".

Really no big deal. And I have to drive 50 miles from my home to my center. Snow tires make it a joy ride.

Where exactly does UPS hire 17 yr olds? I've heard many users on here saying they started at 17. Oh, and drivers helpers doesn't count, because I know about that.

I remember when we got 14 inches of snow in west Atlanta area.
We were trapped for 4 days (except for walking).
Luckily our electricity never went out.

I have no such responsibility. I have the responsibility to look out for number 1. All the boxes and BS will still be there tomorrow, and it will get delivered eventually.

It isn't all about number 1.

In the north, we're out and about immediately after a 14" snow storm. If the snow falls overnight, plows get most roads before most people leave for work.

It's certainly a huge financial savings for southern states not to have to deal with snow removal and salting. It costs northern states millions each year. And they never budget enough. We're only a month into winter and we're "over budget".

For #1 it is.

We had sort of a mini ice storm toward the latter part of this peak. The morning of, so many preloaders didn't show up that a supervisor was dispatched to round up as many as were willing to come in. On my belt alone, out of the 4 that didn't show, we got one back.

I imagine if the situation was dire enough, they'd do the same wherever you are. Otherwise, no biggie. Safety first.

I want to know if OP got disciplined.

Nope. 70% of the hub called out. Only missed that day so far and I've been here for nearly 7 months!
