Promotion Possibility? (New Hire)

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

sorry millennial, I've had my own Insurance since I was 20....

She's right---why pay for it if you don 't have to.

Congrats!

yes GO PT sup... you'll learn Sooooo much

 

[UPSER061]

you make your Dad pay for it?

I don't make him do anything. My dad makes very good money. He wouldn't even let me come off his insurance

I pay my own college tuition. If paying for health insurance makes me grown then I'd rather stay young

I was in college too..

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

I was in college too..

So was I.

What's your point?

And the opportunities for future advancement are endless. PT sup to CEO in 20 years. Go for it. In reality in 20 years you will still be a PT sup.

Stay union and get a good union position. The contract says they have to take your age and physical condition into account. Be smart and you can become a driver with the easiest route in the building if you know how to play the game.

I just don't understand this. Why would anyone promote you with little work experience after only 6 months?

She's female and a minority.
Think about it.

I don't see a physically intense job in my future. A lot of you want to be drivers for the pay and union. Neither of the two is something I want or need. I'm looking to move on to the management side to either move up in the company or have an awesome resume if I decide to move on and work in my degree field. I wasn't asking for anyone's advise on my career but thanks for the input.

There are no timelines at ups dear. It's one big Custer friend. If ur happy now u are lucky 30 years of misery here.

Being a female, the OP will keep getting promoted no matter how bad she messes up.

 

[Over 70]

Damnit I agree with upstate. I'll make a sound logical decision any day over pride. Too much will kill you.

There's some lazy millennials to be made fun of on here but this girl doesn't sound like one.

In all honesty, a PT supervisor job is not something you even have to wait 6 months for. If I were you I'd go to PT sup, and from there, let people know your situation. Typically a person has to prove themselves at that level for a while though, maybe a year, before getting a FT offer. Your timeline doesn't seem to have that flexibility. I think you'll be job hunting in May. Good luck.
