For all new hires, go here (on topic)

That's understandable. But they're not being pis sed away. The people that want the hours are taking advantage of it.. and the people that don't want the hours are helping out the people that do. Make sense? Or am I missing something?

Example: I don't need the money, but I'm taking the seniority... I go in to work earlier then "bill".. bill needs every minute he can get but was running a few minutes late due to whatever reason. Staffing is set to a certain point and met before bill gets there. Well, I'll take the night off to help bill get his hours. Everyone's happy. In the event someone's running late, they the management can elect to send you home for being late which they would prefer, to keep production costs low. The guarantee doesn't apply to someone who's not on time unfortunately.

Got sent home today after filling out survey and employee paper stuff for first 30 days. Said they were over staffed how often does that happen?

You worked what, a week and a half? And, you already wanted time off?

You don't work for UPS anymore. Bye.

I can go to work on Monday.

My 8 hour days are guaranteed. Code 05 is not.

That's the whole point.

Code 06 is our daily guarantee.

Code 05 you would the daily guarantee-----used when you want to get done early----it is punch to punch, (usually) no lunch.

They didn't teach you that when you punched in on the DIAD???

I found out recently that drivers in their 30 days in my center are required to put Code 05 in their DIADs.

Of course ups would do that pre seniority. That's so wrong. Especially the way they load up these new kids in their 30.

Because they aren't in the union and have no guarantees.

Sorting is cool.. for about 2 weeks.. then it just becomes boring.. especially when you're in a 53' Amazon feeder... you could literally stand in the same spot for 4-5 hours.. then come the fun staples paper trucks.. or gilden t shirt trucks.. your arms will become limp wet noodles after about 30 minutes.. it's a lot easier then loading and unloading tho.. especially if you're trying to save your back.. but if you're in preload, I would give the advice to stay there.. probably easier.

When the signature is taken DIAD show for example "stops 1, Pkgs 2"
I wonder whether it is possible to give many stop one signature?
I was taught that if the reception goes different company package so each signature must be taken separately. But in reality, i take one and i sign myself the rest..easier for everyone.

From what I hear, shifting is a great gig.. that's where most of the 22.3s I know of want to be. Go for it!
