Thinking about quitting (ASAP)

Car wash is pretty easy. Porter work is also.

Yup....porter jobs are coveted in my building.

Porter is usually some old guy with 40 years in just putting in his time until retirement.

Technically, we're supposed to have two people lift anything heavier than 70 pounds. Are you saying that everyone at your hub duel lifts things heavier than 70? The irreg guys do ALL of the irregs by themselves at my hub, doesn't matter if they're 100 pounds or 150 pounds. The only reason we double lift is if something is just too big to really get a hold of.

I don't care if I get injured. All that means to me is time off work. As long as they pay for it, which they will after I explain the situation to whatever authority--and how proper lifting wasn't being taught or enforced where irregs were concerned.

That is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard....seriously. You don't have a friggin clue.

In my building they don't retire. Not as long as they have the strength to lean on a broom.

You're right....one of the porters here has 43 years in...porter jobs are lifetime bids...a lot of these guys don't retire unless their health forces them to.

They should put a time limit on those jobs. Save them for people that need another year or two of service,for retirement.

Let's have you make that last point after delivering in 100 degreea amd 94% humidity for 10.5 hours for a week. You'll change yoir tune

Lets have you make that point after you unload a trailer in 115 degrees and above 94% humidity for 10.5 hours. One is possible and one is implausible.

There are NO easy jobs at UPS period. All jobs have there ups and downs. All have there mental and physical challenges. Anyone who works for UPS EARNS every penny and anyone that says otherwise is itching for a fight.

I know right. You bust your butt everyday and some clown is telling you that you got it easy. Its annoying.

 

[you aint even know it]

I'm sure eventually they'll do that..

Can't. It will conflict with the laws.

Actually one of the porters in my building with 40+ years in was going to retire years ago...but his wife suddenly passed away. He figured, why retire now?
