PVD's and loss of overtime

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

I took it to mean he was grateful to have a job, and was suggesting that because we have relatively stable and decent paying jobs, we wouldn't understand the difficulties that others face.

Please read the post above this one...

Does he have healthcare doesn't cost him a dime?

Probably not, that's why he thinks we're idiots for not being grateful for what we have. Am I about right @HelperGuy?

It also sucks that we get three paid days off in the next two weeks...

I guess whatever he does is too complicated for us simple truck drivers

I must really suck only making $100,000 a year
Plus healthcare and pension...

What the hell do I know?

You make that statement but complain about someone taking food off your table or your check shrinking? Just sayin'.

Because YOUR union *ed you not the PVD.

I have nothing but respect for union drivers but I dont know what do to with this. Just quit? I am actively looking for a job as I know 99.9% of seasonals get cut after peak but I also have a family to feed. Just sucks to find out you're making things worse for someone else when you thought that wasn't the case. Thankfully I found BrownCafe last night after this incident so I could do some research on what giant scab pieces of trash us PVDs are.

I would love to work for UPS full time but apparantly I may have gone about trying to get in the wrong way.

Dude, honestly the people you hear complaining have worked for UPS since they were about 18 and they think this is how real world jobs are. You take care of yourself....there is plenty of money going around at UPS. Next year get on preload and hope to become permanent. Many opportunities will come your way in a short period of time. Those drivers make a very good living and they earn every penny of it. It is not for everyone and can be very tough work to say the least. We have about 2 drivers at my center complaining about losing out on OT, the rest don't care and want to get home a decent hour. Soak up as much money as you can, while you can. I know the PVD's that deliver out of our center are hard workers and bust ass on a daily basis. We would not be getting through peak without them.

 

[ZeroHandicapper]

Thanks for the insight sir! The driver did mention that he hoped that when I got a job some scab would show up to take my work from me!

All jokes aside I took his words of wisdom and experience as advice. Seemed like a good dude and while I was just a clueless idiot about the whole thing I completely understand why he was upset.

He's not a good dude... he is a POS for saying that. He is right about running.

Nightmares are dreams too...

Someone told me that had dreams where they would go to the back of the package car and it would be never ending. Now that’s a nightmare but it’s damn near reality.

 

[WeAreAllGoingToMakeIt]

We all know "Karen in her Honda" can't, or more importantly, shouldn't be expected to sweep a UPS Store. But that's not her problem. The problem is hiring anyone with a vehicle not entirely suited for the job. That falls squarely on management. "Karen" is just rying to keep a roof over her head, food on the table and her kids in clothes. I applaud Karen for doing what she has to, not the people on this thread who criticize her.

I love how a company killed us all year round and then try to starve some people out during the holiday season

Killed me with grievances checks thats all.

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

Killed me with grievances checks thats all.

They definitely took advantage of the pandemic this year.
I already told my supervisor that the summer of 2021 will not be repeat of the summer of 2020
