Driving before 21?

[FrigidFTSup]

Get your crazy uncle to buy you a six pack and give it to your center manager after your sort. Then you'd definitely be 21 because you have beer. And you're willing to share it. And boy, does your center manager probably need a beer.

Don't forget the ORS....

Exactly, think of all the PCMs we give that leave you on the edge of your seat.

When I started they wanted you to be in college. Just to be a part time loader.

i was just about to post that.

 

[728ups]

They wanted college students expecting them to quit UPS after they graduated. They didn't want career part timers.

i was told at tha the time that every part timer was a potential driver and every driver was a potential for management( this was WAY back in the days when going into management was a big accomplishment) and UPs only wanted to hire the "best and brightest"
yeah that was a long time ago

I think a good ORS is like a decision making Yoda at smaller locations. So if he/she accidentally has too many beers, untrained Luke Skywalker-minded CMs have to make decisions alone and can't raise their sunken X-wings out of the swamp. We need you sober!

Man I miss those days when the loaders had a brain.

My loader looks like Harry Potter but let me assure you, he is no wizard when it comes to loading.

But I am stealing that.

I was working part time and had wanted to go full time for over 2 months. The hiring representative from Minneapolis told me flat out they didn't hire single guys for full time work. I informed them I was getting married on May 28th and I started full time June 2. It was as simple as that.

They also wouldn't hire women back then for delivery (at least not here anyway) ----I didn't see a woman delivery driver until the late 70's.

They wanted only married guys because they were deemed more reliable.

Come to think of it I can't remember any minorities hired at our center before 1980.

Yeah... How many black, Asian or Hispanic center managers or higher were employed by the company in the old days ... 1% ??? Maybe monkey butt can shed some light on this .... Didn't he mention one time that he was half black or something, or was it that he was hung like a black man???

 

[greengrenades]

When I got hired you had to be 21, have your Military Service commitment over with and be married --to go full time. When I tell people that they never believe me but its true.

How long ago was this?

Doesn't help that Minnesota is about the whitest state in the country outside of Minneapolis/St Paul

When i got hired I was told Ups valued their employees.

We have always had a large population of American Indians but as far as I know only one ever applied for a job. He got the clerk job and was a great employee.
