Disabled after 90 days

At UPS? Have you ever unloaded a truck? Do you have a clue what this job is about? Are you another superior mind that is so far above the rest of us that you don't know who makes this company run day in and day out? Perhaps you were just trying to ruffle some feathers. If so you did with me. I am sick and tired of those that don't give credit where credit is due. The backbone of this company is the real folks that get up and bust their butts day in and day out and then get stomped on by people like you who for some reason don't get it. Hell, for all I know you are some fat guy from Kansas who just got kicked off a porn site and was bored enough to show up here.

Those of us that have put 20+ years in this company may not like the way things are now, but I for one am offended when called stupid. We get up, we get there, and we make it work. Even when it would seem there is no way it can work. What do you contribute?

20+ guy here,
I agree with you . A little rough for my taste, but I agree with the gist of what you said.

It was a joke...thats it....yes I have unloaded trucks, it's where I started out, when I was first hired, and I worked in our unload and doghouse for a long time. No, a monkey cant unload trucks, just joking...thats it....calm down.

Ok, I'm calm now. I think it's important to understand how the atmosphere has changed in many centers. We are not the same company by any means as we were even 5 years ago. It has become a toxic environment and I am not exaggerating. We can be called in the office like 5 year olds and accused of not scanning a package that wasn't even on our truck. PASS/EDD seems to have made the powers that be as tense as we are because they know it is not right, but have no clue as to how to fix it. The safety team will offer you a piece of candy if you refrain from walking through the overhead doors. We get 10 messages a day at least on our Diads that are nothing more than a nuisance and do nothing but slow us down because we have to reply. We get out of the building late every day, but are expected back at the same time.
I could go on, and on, but you get my drift. Now that I think of it, perhaps I am a monkey. A smarter primate would probably give it up.

I don't know if you would consider ourselves as primate, or more as a "cog" in a larger working machine, that is usually mismanaged at the higher levels of working. UPS seems to be mismanaged more now, from even the higher levels in the district, than it is even the center itself. The District is holding everyone to PKG levels and stops for car, and regardless of if everyone works over 9.5, the district still wants those numbers met. I don't know, I am just about fed up with the whole UPS thing, and being chewed out by district level people, when not meeting center level numbers, when they themselves make it impossible, because they have no clue.

I would not want your job. The butt chewing makes the center team what they are. It's actually quite sad, but it all trickles down and it would seem we are all in the same crappy pool. I wish you well..........
