On making scratch and qualifying

[Mattmac0912]

I ran my ass off in the northeast in summertime. August of 90. I know what it’s like. And I didn’t pass out. Just stay hydrated. If you’re not a fatty and in decent shape, you can hold out till you make the list. Then you can drop anchor and work like you should.

Lol Im in fine shape but ain’t running. That’s not gonna make you any friends with other drivers if someone sees you and if management sees you running they’d probably dq you or at least they’re gonna be ticked off. I move pretty quickly but I refuse to run

If you ran as humid as it’s been in jersey you would pass out

When you’re trying to make seniority it’s ok to skip a break or lunch. No other driver will think badly of you. You do what you have to do to get in. Not literally running, but using the “whole day”. Just don’t continue the practice when you make seniority. The others did the same thing.

I literally had to sprint, every stop, to scratch. Worst training route in the center.

They lie to you too. And I had no concept of the level of such treachery at UPS when I first started. Lol

I haven’t actually skipped lunch yet but I rarely take more than 20-25 minutes. Barely use the half hour

I've never had an interaction with any supervisor in which they didn't lie to me. If I had to be that dishonest as a part of my job, I'd probably pull a Leaving Las Vegas and drink myself to death.

I kind of refuse to skip lunch when I’m not eating otherwise for 8-10 hours. At least so far. Maybe I will just work through and see how much faster I can go idk

So today they gave me a day off. Starting to break my balls about numbers with about two weeks left of my 30. Giving me the usual ups spiel we like you and see how hard you’re working we want you to qualify. It’s hotter than hell and even more humid and you gotta be safe and don’t crash

BUTTTTTTT

We need you to be faster !

Been nice working with you
You obviously don’t have what it takes to wear the browns
Try fedx

I had a really tough apartment yesterday 65 pieces. Lots of walking and got caught in a downpour. Cost me some time. They claimed I was a couple hours over which seems impossible to me given there’s pickups I can’t even do until like 530 or so

Lol

Not the attitude we want

In that case you will never make it as a driver

Apparently you don’t really want the job.

Who are you the ceo

 

[BadIdeaGuy]

Apts suck. Even when they say you have to take them to the Apt door, I just leave it in the mail location and call it front door.

Whoa.

Do. Not. Do. This.

This is not an OK corner to cut.

You’ve been given the advice you need to qualify if you choose not to use it that’s on you
OPs next post
I didn’t qualify can I grieve it

 

[Mattmac0912]

Apparently you don’t really want the job.

The powers that be would see you doing those things and call you out at least at my center idk how everywhere else works. You run you’re gonna either get hurt or tire yourself out quicker it’s common knowledge

Yeah I bring ‘em to the door

Many others have said numbers don’t matter and they’ll manipulate them based on whether they want you in or not lol. Why skip lunch when it doesn’t count against your time I don’t get it
