Seasonal preloaders

[HardknocksUPSer]

I was hired as a seasonal preloader and was only laid off for a couple days after my first Peak. Brought back as a permanent hire.

According to these guys it's impossible just because it didn't happen to them lol

Does anyone know many hours seasonal workers work on 12/24 They better not give me 6-8 hours .

You high?

I wish you luck.

They start hiring again in March.

Ohh okay, my question is, why would they get rid of me in march after they've invested time and money? That doesn't make sense..

They'd get rid of you next month....when volume dies and they Dont have work for you. The work goes to seniority preloaders...they may have you work sporadically based on attendance.

I think one of your first replies was two days in I realized nothing at ups makes sense.

Nothing does make sense there lol, and I was told I'll be working at the first of the year by both of the preload sups and center manager, this is the first year my center has ever used "seasonal" preloads, it's only a small center, 18,000 peices during a peak day is a bombshell there.

Not sure, really don't care as long as I get to keep my foot in the door.

What is the PT turn over rate in your building? That will determine if you are still working next month. In my building turn over is huge. People just stick around until they can get their foot in the door at Mc Donalds.

It didn't happen to me because I was never a seasonal hire. I had already make book by the time my first Christmas peak rolled around.

Preloader just got fired for stealing pills a couple weeks ago, they have already gone through every military aged male in the surrounding counties so I'd say my odds are decent, I'd like to make a career out of it one day.

And by the way bleeding brown, yes my misload count has came down tremendously.
