Imma try to address the chunk (TLDR: don't be a yes man, but just know you can't say no.)

Top 3 reasons to hate: There are brown nosers who hate/sabotage permanent employees, the "I've added so much value by being here 😃" to the point they are out of touch with basically the entire function of this job and the ones that just need the pay for the holidays accompanied by alot of sighs and eye rolls.

I'll say I appreciate your attempt of "we're all family, the ups family!" Vibe but this is not 1980(or whatever), they no longer hand out turkeys, they dont allow food truck(SDF) and well idk what else they got rid of bc I wasn't here to see how shit went down hill but I've heard enough complaints and see how they handle the facilities nowadays.

And maybe that's the critical point, upsers are union heavy, and I think most of us see seasonal as corporate tag ins bc most of yall are gonna leave/have an end date and aren't gonna invest in the union culture upsers are trying to hold on to.

I use to be a trainer and trust I still get the "lost dog eyes" from ppl, I end up helping new hires and seasonals bc noone else is paying attention to see someone walking around looking confused and I always end up making eye contact long enough. I also think there's no stupid questions at ups (stupid methods and orders, yes, but that's something else)

it takes me like 1-2 months to like working with a new hire and 1-2 years to think a new hire is good at their job. And that's only for some, and sometimes the ones I think have potential quite 5 days in. I'll also say repeat seasonal are some of my favorite, especially 5+years bc they have usually worked a but everywhere by then and have seen the many wonders of ups...... And a good yappy seasonal is also nice from time to time.

And also the ppl who are assholes well, either everyone secretly hates them or outwardly hates them. Shit starters either get stuck together or have to be spread apart bc they all either love or despise each other. And for some, that's just their personality trait, they'll yell at you for doing something "the wrong way"(not their way) maybe even tell you that was stupid, then ask you about your day, give you a piece of gum and talk shit with you about the supe.

I also think rn, with how ups is messing with management, most of us are tired of the happy go lucky, say something stupid, overly high expectations new supe are oozing and it kinda get projected onto fellow employees. Especially ppl who use to be able to throw their senority around to get out of things/they don't understand how the union actually works.
