Rep that hired me is now a non-working number...am I still hired?

[trynawork2020]

I was recently hired by UPS to work in a warehouse in Charlotte, NC. Over the phone, I told the representative who hired me that I needed to schedule my orientation for a time after August 28. I explained that I would not be coming into town until then and so physically I would be unable to attend anything before then. He acted like that would be no problem. A few days later I got an email saying it was scheduled for August 27. I sent the representative a message clarifying that I could not make any meetings before the 28th. He messaged me back the following day saying he would reschedule. That was on August 26 and I have emailed him three times with no response and every time I try to call the number he called me through I get a message saying it is a non-working UPS number. I have tried getting in touch with UPS by other means but I can’t for the life of me find a live person to talk to. So I thought I would check here to see if anyone had any advice on what I should do next?

Why not go to HR?

 

[trynawork2020]

I can’t find a working number for HR. It just tells me to call my hiring manager.

Doesn’t have time for games? Let’s see...to say he would schedule it for a certain time and then not schedule it for that time, then say he will reschedule it, and subsequently refuse to email me back and go so far as to make his phone number non-working...sounds like he’s just playing around to me.

Just try dialing random numbers until you find the right person

No your not hired. You have to show up to actually get hired

you don’t understand how ups works
Let this be your first lesson

Show up to the hub and speak to any supervisor you can. Trust me, they'll eventually get you in the door as peak season is coming up.

One thing for the future. Pay your union dues! Think of it as job insurance if you have to. I know them southerners aren't even familiar with what a union can do for you, but you will learn. Dont be a freeloader and get yourself that job insurance. You'll thank me later a year down the road when you get an unlawful termination and you're running to the union for help. You're welcome.

Why not go to HR?

This. When you show up in person, they tend to actually get done quick as if there's propeller in their ass.

I think I’ll try my luck elsewhere just to avoid being on a floor with you somewhere

You’ve made a mistake I’ve dropped everything for the company. I’ve quit crap retail jobs without notice. Now, after 6 years, I’m finally topped out. And trust me people have waited way longer to get that top rate. You gotta do what you gotta do.

Why did you apply when you knew you weren't going to be in town?

Yes why would I want to have some jobs lined up BEFORE moving to a new city.

I don’t understand what this has to do with my hiring rep ghosting me.

I showed up at the warehouse in the city where I had been hired and the security guards wouldn’t let me in without an appointment. told me to call HR

If you can’t be there when they need you they will find somebody who can

you couldn’t so they did

You missed the boat
