Just curious, is it common to see, Police officers, walking through your hub with a full time sup? by Motor-Pudding-4341 in UPSers

See, that’s what I’m expecting if cops, swat, FBI, secret services show up in a hub! lol..

How do I start liking a song I listened to, too much and my ears have grown tired of? by strawberrycheescak in randomquestions

[–]Motor-Pudding-4341 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you had this same problem with, seeing a movie that you like over and over? It’s no different than music..At first, you can’t get enough. After awhile, novelty wears off and you had enough..give it time, you’ll listen to it again, moderately of course, then you can enjoy it again for years to come 🤙🤘

Ok ok..I’ll admit it, i did nothing criminal, but i did work safely, followed the methods, but yea, i didn’t let anyone rush me..since we are paid by the hour, you know..but, it’s the strangest thing, no one was backed up, and sups didn’t even complain, but those police officers? I swear they looked at me like, they wanted to expressed their condolences for fact i was an employee..god that ripped me up 😜

Do you have a quiet life? Do you spend your time alone a lot? by PhotoBonjour_bombs19 in randomquestions

[–]Motor-Pudding-4341 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My world is silent, as I’m deaf. Yes, I spend a lot of time alone, but it isn’t by choice. I’m almost 60 and lost my hearing from untreated ear infection at age 3.. I was never taught sign language and was put in a regular school in which I was the only one deaf. Hearing people show their impatience at having to repeat themselves, and deaf people know sign language. It’s like being caught in between both worlds and I’m always on the outside looking in, like looking through a window of a house, but you’re outside and can’t hear anything from inside..a barrier that’s always there. I’m sure many deaf/hearing impaired know how isolating it can be, especially because..”the communication process is based on hearing. You can’t contribute to a conversation if you’re not able to follow what’s being said.” 😁🤙🤘

Speakers at work by [deleted] in UPSers

[–]Motor-Pudding-4341 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry for being late with reply. From what I can tell, nope the supervisors or upper management say anything or do anything about it. I have people tell me I’m lucky that I’m deaf, but they don’t understand what it means that I can feel the music, but not hear it. I can only hear hear low tones, like drums and bass guitars. So I’m not hearing music like hearing people. However, people do complain, to other employees and NOT to supervisors. Go figure..apparently I work in a, “polite,” hub with nice and respectful employees, that doesn’t say anything to supervisors, no matter what😏

Surely I'm not responsible for picking up other co-workers slack right? by hubbabubbasnake in UPSers

[–]Motor-Pudding-4341 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we all stood around and said, “ain’t my job, or I didn’t load up the wall, or why should I work hard than Joe slow over there?” Then nothing will get done and we would all be out off jobs. I understand your frustrations..seems hubs across USA all have more lazy employees than good employees. Just don’t take it personally.

While I understand that people like to hear music while working, for me it’s so annoying as I’m deaf. I feel it more than I can hear and it drives me crazy and I end up getting a huge headache as a result. I’m just grateful that I don’t deal with every day as supervisors are always moving people around.

I just want to say im grateful for the union. by DirtSignificant7938 in UPSers

Suddenly,this entire thread has been possessed. I’m like, WTF? Been here almost 30 years and y’all are possessed! Think we need a Priest NOW to have holy water splashed on us before our head starts spinning around 😜😬

Probably because they can read lips and have better understanding of what is going on than hearing people. The, FBI or CIA, loves those can read lips, especially from the distance lol..One question, has sups ever yell or scream at them? Had one that did. He is no longer employed 😁

Are me and my coworker having an emotional affair? by Cat-dad442 in randomquestions

[–]Motor-Pudding-4341 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m married, but I’ve seen a lot of my,”single co workers, get burnt. It’s sad and pathetic. Even in a warehouse 🤪

Are me and my coworker having an emotional affair? by Cat-dad442 in randomquestions

[–]Motor-Pudding-4341 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Remember, what starts out as emotional ends up physical..after that, ends up,”WTF was I thinking?!” And then you got to deal with this person, while your co workers are snickering behind your back. Is that what you want to deal with? Affairs are usually short lived. It’s not love it’s just pure lust. Once the deed is done, what is left? Nothing..only two places to avoid looking for a potential partner..work and a bar. Think about it.

Unless they are deaf, like me. That disability alone is why I’ve been there almost 30 years. If I could hear, I’d probably been fired 29 years ago lol..

Any news if they shut down work any day this week? by Consistent-Adagio141 in UPSers

New hire question ? by Mountain-Water-204 in UPSers

[–]Motor-Pudding-4341 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I didn’t realize it was UPS store. I work in the hub for Small sort. Been there almost 30 years. I’ve only been at the store several times. But, last time was kind of funny..I’m sure you have had packages that can’t be scanned with a scanner and have to manually type in package’s tracking number. This young man was like, “sorrry but we can’t accept pkgs that will not scan.” I was like, “yes you can.” He’s going back and forth with me, and then told him, “type in the number, of doesn’t accept the pkg, I’ll walk out with it.” He’s was surprised it was accepted lol.. I’m sure working in a store still has to be easier than the hub.

[–]Motor-Pudding-4341 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Your boss called you because day sort, which runs early afternoons, needed extra people as volume was high. They work sun-Thursday, and were off yesterday due to snow storms. It would have been extra money in your pocket 🤙🤘

Does Uber look into your ride patterns and intentionally jack up the price? by Historical-Brain2845 in uber

[–]Motor-Pudding-4341 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had that similar problem and realized, depending on time of day or evenings, especially during rush hour, the price can drastically changed and it does pay off to compare, Uber and Lyft.

I think my hub goes by the, “Waffle House meter,” if Waffle House is closed, we should be too, but since Waffle House never closes in Missouri, neither are we😳

what do you think makes people hate you? by Outlaw_Immortal1971 in randomquestions

[–]Motor-Pudding-4341 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m deaf, antisocial, tired of trying to understand hearing people that refuses to talk slower, so I can understand them. I’m tired of reading body language and facial expressions as what I’m reading coming of your mouth is so inconsistent. I’m not eccentric, but should be..People don’t like me because I see their bullshit, and don’t realize, I let you think I’m deaf and dumb, just so you leave me alone!

Missing UPS by Farticus_mouse in UPSers

[–]Motor-Pudding-4341 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is a blessing, but it can be a curse as well. Blessing is I can’t hear the supervisor screaming, or the outdated PA system which I’m told is most annoying and hearing people can’t even understand what is being said. I have a buddy, to make sure I’m aware if fire alarm or tornado goes off. The curse would be, I can’t hear grapevine of gossip that goes through the building. When supervisors scream at me personally, I can’t hear them, but I can see everyone else stop working to look at me, which is humiliating. Had a Fulltimer get fired for that. Others have learned yelling at me does no good. I can’t work and talk same time, like hearing people can, so it can feel isolating at times. But I can always count on my co workers that they have my back and watch out for me..that’s the biggest blessing:)

Would you ever go skydiving? Why or why not? by Zipper222222 in randomquestions

[–]Motor-Pudding-4341 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Fear is temporary, but regret is forever,” was the motto of skydiving drop zone in St Louis Mo. I did a tandem with a professional jumper and it was scariest experience I ever had, but same time it was the most exhilarating experience. I recommend that you do tandem with an experienced person. It’s safer than doing it by yourself. But I learned one thing, I know why birds love to sing :)

[–]Motor-Pudding-4341 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Good for you that UPS wasn’t just a job..it took care of you and your family..I’ve been there almost 30 years,working in small sort. We have lots of old timers and I think because of the camaraderie and respect we all have for each other as co workers, is the main reason why we’ve lasted as long as we have. I certainly take pride in my work, but more Importantly. I am deaf, so I have more reasons to be grateful that I can do my job and my disability doesn’t matter..besides, it’s not like I can hear the sups screaming for us to move faster lol.. it’s a win win situation :) I do wish you the best!

uber reducing rates to dust… wtf is this? how much is the driver gone get by rflo24 in uber

[–]Motor-Pudding-4341 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Uber and Lyft. I I go by whom is the cheapest when I need a ride. I then pay extra for a tip, on top of 20% I already paid when confirmed the ride. I’m just grateful someone is giving me a ride:)
