1) I'm still not sure if it's the p/t job for me, but it's gotten easier over time.
2) As a pre-loader, it's obvious that some drivers are divas. Instead of directing their anger at mgmt, they snap at you for a full package car with 170 stops.
3) I'm not sure if I could ever be a supervisor. A good number of them are blatant a$$e$.
4) The sound of the scan check is annoying as all hell.
5) Work as Directed is more often than not, arbitrary and capricious.
6) According to my pedometer, I take about 18,000 steps during my shift.
7) If you post on Brown Cafe as a "newbie" you will likely be verbally beat down. If you snap back, you will be called a troll.
8) The turnover rate is extremely high. I was in the " mentoring" sessions with about 14 people and only about five of us have remained.
9)Getting two pages of adcuts at 8:00am is not okay.
10) I work with a great group of guys who have helped make my adjustment to the job somewhat favorable.

I'm impressed with your insightful truth that obviously is the downfall of a company that thrives on constant chaos, unorganization, and a high turnover rate. As a driver I feel like a diva cause not many people can fill my shoes on a daily basis. I'm number 5 on the seniority list and no one has bid on my route in our center or from any other. Everyone has too much work and some of us might work a little harder and that's a matter of opinion and certain variables. Ups has no reality or common sense and I'm glad you can see that along with brown cafés newbie beat down. Everyone starts as a newbie anywhere they work or get on line. Nice adjustment so just deal with it. It is what it is.
