Got snapped at by a clerk for being early and setting up the belt?

[Coldworld]

I'm so focused on kissing butt I don't consider my own well being. lol

I hope you are joking....stop kissing butt...you will start smelling like stinky ass and that's not fun to work around...

 

[Coldworld]

Why?

She's just following in your footsteps???

Just a rant. I get to work 20 - 40 minutes early everyday. Clerk saw me setting up the belt like she has many times and says "wish you guys would stop coming in early and working off the clock". I tried to explain that I was just setting up cause it helps me get ready to just start loading my PCs. Nobody else on my belt knows how to do it, or they just wont. I also do it because as soon as the belt turns on the send agains on the belt start moving down and will keep going if i don't have the blocker on. It takes 5 minutes to set it up and bring up my send agains. I don't see what the issue is. Makes the start of my day easier.

Why not just leave some of your money in a basket with a "Free-Please Take" sign on it? Same thing.

It's a union job. Do it correctly and don't kiss ass. That will get you nowhere here.

In my experience... Being a woman at this kind of job with mostly male mgt makes them untouchable....seen mgt burned or fired a few times... Girl power always wins....use it to your advantage..

 

[Coldworld]

Yeah. Not a bad idea. The clerk has been there for 11 years so maybe I should heed her advice while I can.

Just a word of advice... Some of those old customer counter people can be sneaky and backstabbing... Specifically some of the grandmas... Be careful..

 

[Coldworld]

I dont want any union drama. or any drama at work. I want to be a driver so bad but I'm afraid I'll mess it up if I don't kiss ass. Just my mentality.

You sound like a troll....

I'll take the benefits of salary over the downfalls any day.

what are the benefits of salary... Leave a few hours early one Friday s month...why sugar coat a turd....

Knowing exactly what you're going to get every month is nice. Calls at night get old, but you get used to it.

you shouldn't be getting calls at night..let the overpaid center manager deal with that stuff...

Work off the clock? I'll hold in a turd from 815am until after my air is delivered and then go find a nice portajohn

Not when you're my age. There is no holding back.

I troll on YouTube. But my content on here is actually true. I was really looking for advice. Because I have been working off the clock for the past 45 days here and I won't be doing that anymore. It worked out just fine this morning.

You're covered. But it's an easy way to get terminated

Only if you are in pre seniority. Otherwise it's a simple "work as instructed" issue. Most state laws prevent the termination of an employee do to an on job injury. Another issue that UPS makes up rules on.

He was never instructed to perform the setup work on his own time.

Another thread of working off the clock. How many different ways can it be said? DONT WORK FOR FREE.

What downfalls?

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

What downfalls?

Being on call 24/7.

 

[1989]

When an employee works off the clock. It is the supervisors job to instruct the employee to never work off the clock, and document. The sup must cya. Otherwise, when an employee gets hurt working off the clock, the sup may be terminated. And could possibly open up another class action suit.

I misread, I thought he was saying he would take the benefits of a salary vs downfalls of a union position.

 

[joeboodog]

Never seen a NICE portajohn but whatever floats your boat

If that's your only choice, it becomes very nice.

I was ranting for one and I didn't see anything wrong with working off the clock. Now I do.

As a woman, I disagree.
