Can someone debunk this? Are these jobs cherry picking?

The absolute truth. They could not hack it here.

Everyone wants the money in the benefits but they don't want to do the work

Yep…Ive said that for years. Something for nothing.

I seen far too many people try to qualify to be a driver, then they suddenly realized this is a lot of work

A lot different than sitting at a desk in an air conditioned office.

I would go insane sitting inside the office all day

Yes. However, Carol isn't going to do her number crunching or scheming in a package car. That is the wrong utilization or application.

True. That’s why No wants to be a ft driver now. It’s better to be a part timer and act and whine like you deserve full time wages. Got to put in the work.

My supervisor was a driver for about 5 or 6 years and I asked him why he went to management
I finally got it really honest answer
He said I can't see me doing this crap for another 30 years of my life

He was being honest. Not everyone wants that kind of career. There is nothing wrong with people choosing to do what they want in life? The worst thing is having no choice or no opportunity.

It's not just limited to drivers. We had management training this week and they started teaching 5 how to shift. 3 left the first day because it was "too hot" to do this kind of work...

No to be demeaning, but it is more back than brain. Some people don’t like that.

Yes. How's about special operations force that requires extra athletic ability combining with some above average intelligence (at least average). A lot of their job is about physical work.

 

[anonymous23456]

Well, I can't meet the standards. If I can I rather wear the Green Beret than driving a package car. LOL

You are half right about that
That has changed a lot in the last decade or so
Honestly I'm really tired of trying to make my route work and fix Management's mistakes

There was a time when hourly and management worked together. Now ups and society in general is just extremes. Can never see the good or right in someone unless they look just like you.

I'm just trying to run up the clock and put my knee down

Still can and does work that way in some smaller centers. Funny when I go from my small center to the big hub working feeder how different the dynamic is.
