Without the advice of browncafe my part time career went something like this.After almost 4 years of preload I am officially off the boxline. I've been through being a floater, to 3 car, a 4 car and to even covering 2 separate lighter pulls. I went from asking nice, complaining about shoulder problems, to absolutely not giving aabout how fast I go.
When you motivate your employees with fear, it only works until stop caring about whether or not they lose their jobs. I have other opportunities I could take for more money and similiar insurance. The only reason I do not is because I would lose my seniority, pension, and guaranteed raises over the years.

Lmao I know I'm still a floater when I'm finished at my position but it's nice not being responsible for one of those gosh darn pulls. When it's backed to
Oohhhhh you'll be back. Someone will call out sick one day or go on vacation, and you'll be the first person that sup thinks of to cover that area.

Absolutely brother. Thankful for Brown Cafe and the people who actually run the building- the teamsters.

A lot of the people who actually keep the wheels turning are not Teamsters, FYI.

When you work in a team environment you never want to be the weakest link. The less you do, the more work you push on others. You ever play sports, bruh?

You know, there are plenty of other people who would love to have your job right now. You should be a little bit more thankful you have one that lets you get away with poor performance and a
attitude that you seem to be so proud of.

I know that, but supervisors and the others can only do so much, the majority of the work is done by the loaders/unloaders aka The teamsters, and of course the drivers, duh.

No there isn't, they all ran off to Amazon. I'm thankful to have a means but it doesn't have to be at ups. I do work and I work safely and correctly.
People that would "love" to work at ups... Give me a break.

If anything I'm thankful for the union for giving me my paid vacation, steady pay raises, and guaranteed hours with full benefits at a part time job.
You think ups wants me to have any of that?

I dunno. Can imagine how somebody might if they start in local sort and then go feeder driving. Idiots like myself do hard time in preload and then deliver FT.

The union is what I was referring to. UPS wants numbers, that's it. If it wasn't for the union, I can't imagine UPS would stay in business, they would fire everyone for missloads and being 2 minutes late.
And yes, there are people who would love to work here. Not just the obvious reason they need a job, but because of the union and benefits. And this place isn't that bad, not all the time. It is what you make it!
