Certainly that would have factored into his decision making process.

Some of the best helpers I had even bailed on me on Christmas eve because they knew they were out of a job after.

I'm sure there's a helper reading this that thinks he's the greatest helper that ever worked for Brown. Let me assure you that you're not. You're a seasonal Pack Mule. That's it. You take packages from point A to point B. Most of the time we have to hold your hand and almost walk you to the doors because you never seem to be able to figure out which green door with the yellow frame that I'm pointing to, which also happens to be the only green door with a yellow frame on the entire street. I know, shocking isn't it.
Every year you studs get on our package cars and act all hardcore for the first few days. Maybe even a week, but then the crying starts. First you cry about being sore. Then how much work we have, or how long you have to work. Then you want to know when you're getting paid, and we've only delivered two stops on the first Monday. Relax Captain Express. Lets finish the first day before we start investing your check on Wall Street. OK? Next you show-up always wearing something you were explicitly told not to, like some bright colored undershirt as if it's your other job to stand next to an open manhole cover. I guess Grandma won't fall in the hole as long as you're standing there in your triple bright neon orange t-shirt, but we honestly could care less about that. Most of us don't care if you show-up wearing just a sock on your junk as long as you're on time every day. We also appreciate it when you keep the bitching to a minimum, and you don't show-up smelling like hot balls. Your job is to show up when we tell you, do as you're instructed, be able to lift whatever I lift, and hustle. Stay off your phone, and don't walk to a stop like you're on Death Row. There should NEVER be an excuse for a driver to knock-off 2-3 stops to every one of yours. If that's the case you're too damn slow. Pick it up or beat it. I don't mind firing helpers and taking my chances with the next pick of the draw.
Next, your personal affairs do not interest me. I don't care if Honey Boo-Boo is home sick, and you need to leave early to get her chicken friend'ing soup. I don't care if every Tuesday you have get the hair on yourtrimmed, or you can't find an friend'ing babysitter. Grow up kids. You want a job, then learn how to make it work. Get your
I had a helper quit today on one of the busiest days ever because he wanted to go Christmas shopping. Yup, 3 hours in to our busy day this butt jockey tried to make-up some lame excuse that even Stevie Wonder could see through, and decided he just had to leave. Let me say that again, he left to go shopping, and now he doesn't have a job. Genius right? Already broke as balls he figured he just had to get to the Mall and spend money he doesn't have, and left me stuck, which is nothing new. Been doing this for two decades. I've seen these guys come and go. I can count on half of one hand how many were solid helpers. Every Peak we deal with these clowns. I tipped the Hell out of this guy every week. Even had $50 in a card for him today, but now it's just extra beer money. Glad he saved me $50, and because he left when he did I can thank him for the 3 hours of bonus I'll make just off the number of stops I had. Thanks dummy. /rant over
LMAO! SPOT ON!!

They are telling our helpers they may have work until January 15. Our problem in Ohio is that all the major universities are on semesters and they don't go on break until just before Christmas. This diminishes the pool of decent helpers. Now we are lucky if they have a pulse and can fog a mirror--able to string 3 coherent words together a plus.

I love how some of you try to inflate the importance of what is basically a very simple job which requires little more than a drivers license and high school diploma. "Earn my seat"? Get over yourself.

Maybe if it wasn't a dead end seasonal job you would get more qualified helpers.
I don't blame the kid at McDonald's for not giving a crap either.
This is corporate greeds baby.
This was my philosophy as well.

the quality of people that ups hires is low. they don't drug test anymore here because they would not be able to hire 10 people.
that is why ups contributes millions to clone research an I am starting to agree.

Then why do seasonal drivers quit, and part-timers give up when they start driving?
I haven't joined the hate Upstate club on here yet , but I have a college degree and I worked my ass off the last three weeks. I don't need you telling me how simple my job is.

I also have a college degree and worked my ass off for the past three weeks. I never said it wasn't a physically hard job---it is---but it is also a mentally simple one.

I point to door. You take package to said door = mentally simple.
