Yeah I know. That’s my reaction to seniority being respected.

Lol…not at all. We’ve got some real turds in our center. Getting beat by multiple hours doesn’t faze anyone anymore. Job pride is the minority rather than the norm. So no, it’s not bs.

Really?
At 8 hours over....a planned DAY.....he/it literally didn't DO ANYTHING all day?
And nary a word?
Not a new driver.....an RPCD?
Not a rookie turned loose without any supervision as was relayed here earlier(on BC).
And this is common?
Really? You guys up there....pretty much do what you want?
Insurance, pension (small) and 50-60k a year? You could do worse for a "pt" job.

Looks like employers need to learn how to make people not absolutely dread going to work.
It has nothing to do with people not wanting to work. Unemployment is at a record low so clearly people are working.
It’s about people standing up for themselves and not accepting
jobs that treat them poorly. Like I saw a fast food manager say the other day in a video. This isn’t about no one wanting the job. This is corporate wanting to do more with less. In her example all of their training calls for an 8 person team at minimum. That’s how it’s designed to run. Instead she gets a phone call from higher ups every morning saying you can get by with 3 today.

Who in the hell is making 50-60k working part time at ups?
Hint if they are they aren’t part time.
And they might have to start paying them a little bit more alsoLooks like employers need to learn how to make people not absolutely dread going to work.

Which
s inflation even more but study after study is showing those under 35 are much more worried about work/life balance or fulfilling work than they are pay.It's also different work ethic now.Which
I don't want group everybody into one category but a lot of these young people don't ever want to work over 8 hours

I don’t know if I’d consider that work ethic. You can be a hard worker but not want to work all day and night. Definitely not a black and white subject.
I'm not saying everybody wants to work all the time but when you're young and starting out a little extra cash to get you started in life is a big help.
Unfortunately this is not a 9 to5 job in most cases And they need to realize that when they sign on here

It’s kind of funny watching corporate try to adjust.
It’s every driver on the road here trying to cut OT. Hoping no one quits. Preloaders are only loading 2 trucks and they’re still quitting left and right. It’s nuts.
Ups is unique and there’s only so much they can do. Retail and fast food and others could absolutely give workers more hours with consistent schedules if they wanted.

Whenever I tell the new people here they can ask about becoming air sort and work Saturdays for time and a half, a lot of them always ask about it and are hungry for hours. Granted my area is in a rough low income area, but these kids definitely are hungry for work. I really think these upcoming contracts should include a lot more 22.3 jobs because at this point, if what is said here is true about work ethic, a lot of it is because disillusion in understanding what a union job entails. I educate every new person I can about seniority and how it works. Hell, since the bid sheets came down for driver helper, I always show em the centers they can talk to a person to be a driver helper. The young ones want it, gotta show em how to do it.
