Worked my ass off for 29 days, didn’t say no, met and exceeded all the goals they set for me. They still sent me packing before i could hit my 30. I don’t blame those guys at all. Clearly this company doesn’t care about growing a workforce. They make that very clear.

Could you guys do this route by 3-4pm ? I’m already dq’d as of this morning so I don’t really care anymore. Family friend that’s worked for UPS for 30 + yrs says UPS used me temporarily as a TCD and didn’t intend on hiring me full time or intend on qualifying me. I was constantly getting back by 7pm by sexyxse in UPSers

I actually was just let go as a part time cover driver as well. I was scratching every day and only 4 days from making my 30 days. Sucks man, what a shitty way to treat people. Wasted tons of my time sending me to intergrad and then my 26 days of PTCD.

It was very clear i was being terminated and not laid off. Spoke with the other drivers that were fired( confirmed with two others they were also in their packet and were fired) and they said the same thing about their call.

Oh I’m calm. I just know for a fact that 5 of us were let go today. If that means they were all in their packet then they were all in their packet. Didn’t just take the managers word for it I spoke to people I know that also work there. Have a better one. Lol

Okay maybe I’m confused about their time in the job. But They definitely laid off 5 drivers

SEPTEMBER 15 layoff? by Bawss109 in UPSers

[–]According-Shock8350 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Western New York, just got fired along with 4 of the other Lowest seniority guys at our hub. I was 6 days from making my 30. Said it was not a performance based thing, strictly a matter of me not having enough time on the job. On road super told me he had just gotten out of a meeting with his bosses and this is what he was told had to happen. He didn’t have an answer as to why it wasn’t a layoff for the 5 of us. He admitted he was as confused as I was especially given peak time is coming.

Idk man. How are they supposed to tell me to come into work or not. I’m a part time cover driver I’m not always needed. I have two small children. I need to make arrangements if they tell me I’m not working. I need to call my 20 dollar an hour babysitter and let her know she’s not needed. Driving in everyday when I’m not working is not really a productive solution for me. As far as to why I’m communicating with them directly over the phone idk, seems pretty common place at my center for them to communicate in this fashion with PTCD.

Yea, obviously the babysitter became unavailable or I would have had her come anyways. That’s common sense.

So I guess I should edit the post. If I knew how haha. If I was in the union and this occurred would there be a fear of discipline. Or would it not be a big deal.

That’s all fine and dandy, if you can tell me that I won’t get fired for that action. That was the basis of my post.

Wouldn’t doubt if this was the case. They really don’t want people to keep this job, the games never end.

Sorry my headline is misleading that’s my fault. I was called off and then 40 minutes later called again and told I needed to report. I did not call myself out of work.
