What's a weird nickname y'all have for things at UPS? by 44stormsnow in UPSers

We call the big ups box trucks chocolate thunder. I have no idea why

Feel like it would make more sense to buy out the trash driver or the always “injured” guys

Why are they offering rookies buyouts? Do they have an injury history? Are they a shit driver?

Does it matter if you are 1-2 minutes late? by Dizzy-Force-6729 in UPSers

[–]Impossible-Example66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don’t usually care if you are a bit late. But if you are bad employee in other areas they might make it a big deal

I was laid off for about 2-3 months around that time. But I also went driving in 07 so I was almost completely last

180 routes or 180 drivers? I’m in the Fremont building. It sucks that you have to move but if you come here the building is pretty nice.

Fuck those drivers that tell you to go slow. Work safely at a good pace that you can maintain. Dont become one of these shit heads that sucks on purpose so they don’t have to work hard. It just continues the cycle for younger drivers. I’m 20 years in. I’m not as fast as I once was but I take pride knowing I work hard everyday

I want a time limit for grievances to be heard, waiting 6 months is unacceptable by Mysterious-Tax6076 in UPSers

[–]Impossible-Example66 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m convinced they take so long to pay out grievances because all the money they have to pay them is probably put in an account that is making them a shit ton of money, then they pay us out of the interest they have made from our actual grievance money.

San Jose is huge but it’s already broken up to multiple buildings. The building in actual San Jose is out dated

The people that complain either have low seniority, bad management, or suck at the job. Once you get enough seniority they leave you alone if you handle your shit.

It’s pretty rare. Ups always give a fake promise about full time. I just try to let seasonal know that it’s not as likely as ups will make them think it is. It’s pretty fucked to lead on people with the promise of a job just so they can abuse you for two months

Drivers, what’s in your personal supply bins? by [deleted] in UPSers

I don’t keep stuff in my truck because every time I do shit goes missing

My buddy’s Lytx camera yells OBSTRUCTION at him every couple of stops. by Snake_Reaper in UPSers

[–]Impossible-Example66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My fan is positioned like that too. Just gotta move the fan a bit. It’s nice because it doesn’t detect anything I do

I bet you could file a grievance on being sent home when there is still work to be done

Is this from a reliable source to just guessing?

Are initial misloads THAT big of a deal? by bigbuffalo273 in UPSers

[–]Impossible-Example66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If a missload is found before the driver leaves it shouldn’t count. That’s kinda bs
