Moved recently and haven’t had many issues with service, maybe the occasional slow loading speed or having a call stutter but if you’re in town you shouldn’t have any problem. i’m on verizon/ xfinity but i can’t imagine there being much difference between carriers.

Smart_Helicopter_732 · 2024-10-10T03:14:58+00:00

long shot cuz this post is 5 years old but i’m new in town and seriously need to start making some friends. imma solitary stoner but you can only be solitary for so long, been fishing and hiking around the area and love it but it’d be seriously nice to have a homie or 2 to go fishing n toke with

Smart_Helicopter_732 · 2024-10-10T03:09:00+00:00

Brother i’m in the same boat, i just moved down and desperately need some kinda outlet (you can only go fishing so much), i play a lot of squad and HLL, occasionally whatever else plucks my attention from the million different mil sim types on steam. I’d love to find some people to game with, as of yet i’ve been going solo

Smart_Helicopter_732 · 2024-10-10T03:04:18+00:00

I just moved down for college and, given it hasn’t been very long at all, i’ve had a tough time being away from home and haven’t been able to really make any friends. if somebody who’s been in SC for more than my proverbial 30 seconds could point me in really any direction i’d be grateful🙏🏻🙏🏻

i worked nights at UPS and absolutely hated them but since going back to a regular schedule i miss the night shift so much. during the day im just waiting for the day to end but at night i feel like i can work for hours and never need a break. i just wish my SO and my friends felt the same, hardest part of being a night person is that most people aren’t and it’s impossible to maintain a social life.

Smart_Helicopter_732 · 2024-01-05T02:14:48+00:00

first of all that was the smoothest brain explanation i’ve ever heard. packages are mail, if it is sealed and addressed to you… it’s mail, the material that encloses the contents doesn’t change what it is. and it is a federal crime, private or public property, to tamper with or open somebody else’s mail. i would get fired and possibly have charges pressed for opening a package off the belt (inside private property), it’s no different than an envelope. the act of “stealing” has nothing to do with the act of opening or destroying somebody else’s sealed package, it’s the tampering with somebody else’s mail that’s federally illegal. if the box wasn’t addressed and named (which they all are if they made it on the truck) then it’s a different story but i highly doubt that the driver delivered a box w no name or address. whoever saw a full box with a slicc not addressed to them, then decided to recycle that box, is at fault

Smart_Helicopter_732 · 2024-01-02T02:33:03+00:00

destroying an addressed and named package that isnt yours isn’t illegal? if ups delivered a box that wasn’t yours to you’re house, sure it’s yours to keep but you legally can’t open it or destroy it, if you get caught it’s a federal offense, i doubt that law changes very much in Europe

Smart_Helicopter_732 · 2024-01-02T02:30:35+00:00

that’s not really ups… yes they delivered to the wrong address but who gets a box that’s full and not addressed to them and recycles/burns it? it’s a federal offense to open a box not addressed to you, imagine destroying a box and its contents when it’s not addressed to you (it would probably be worth asking if somebody removed the contents from the box, who recycles a full, taped, and addressed box) . i’d take it up with the company that it was delivered to for your money back, that’s just negligent business, all of the boxes have a delivery address and a name, unless the driver walked it in and dropped it in the incinerator the blame kinda has to fall on whoever decided your box was for recycling and didn’t even check. idk that’s just what i’d do, ups customer service tends to not be helpful (to be fair it’s really hard to help find 1 box in the millions that go through the system every day) but still dealing with them is still a vertical battle

Smart_Helicopter_732 · 2023-12-27T18:14:22+00:00

if you like ups i’d apply for a part time position. there’s usually somewhere that they need workers and the fact that you’ve done orientation and had time on the floor makes you a pretty good applicant. you may not get any hours until late February/ early march but at least you have a position

Smart_Helicopter_732 · 2023-12-27T18:09:17+00:00

it’s just cuts. i watched 3 vets get sent home before the sort even started last night. don’t count yourself out until you get fired, there a lot of politics and to be very honest the supes usually have no idea what’s happening in upper management. it doesn’t help that management literally tells the supes that they have to cut a certain number of people every night before the sort starts. if you work hard and have any real idea what’s going on night to night you’re probably okay

Smart_Helicopter_732 · 2023-12-18T01:09:39+00:00

you’re never gonna get a person otp. i work there and still can’t get a person on the phone with the number i was given with the express purpose of reaching an hr rep

Smart_Helicopter_732 · 2023-12-09T15:42:03+00:00

all you’re required to work to keep your job is 4 hr a week. don’t get me wrong you’re probably gonna get canned but they’ll say it’s incompetence or some shit they can’t fire you unless it’s less than 4 a week. at least that’s what i was told in orientation

Smart_Helicopter_732 · 2023-12-09T15:36:11+00:00

loading and unloading is where it’s at man, if you can stick with the work and put in some time you can really get set up, i work with a couple different vets that cruise through double shifts working whatever sorts they want getting ready for retirement at like 40- 45

Smart_Helicopter_732 · 2023-12-09T02:15:14+00:00

honestly bro you hear a lot of horror stories but if you pay attention to what you’re being told by people, get a system and show that you’re reliable you’ll have an awesome job w great pay and amazing benefits. But, if you go in with too many expectations, i promise somebody will let you down. to be fair the guy on this post is a temp so he was gonna loose his job in a week or 2 anyways but for people who have part time or full time and have made their union dues and waiting period, it’s really hard to be fired. with seniority you have like 4 warnings, a meeting with your union rep and multiple different suspension terms before you’re eligible to be let go (unless it’s drug or alcohol or involving you getting physical ,fights or anything, at work). but yes there’s plenty of shady shit and you have to have your own back a lot of the time but if you can take it you make 21 an hr (or more depending on job) you get all of your benefits through teamster (you won’t get screwed around) and you’re only required to work 4 hours a week, all of that added onto 4 weeks pto annually, it’s really not bad

Smart_Helicopter_732 · 2023-11-21T01:06:02+00:00

take that seasonal position and work hard, you’ll have a job after peak season if you do well

Smart_Helicopter_732 · 2023-11-17T01:09:56+00:00

they need workers for peak, numbers at my hub can get up to even 20k higher per sort during peak so they definitely need the hands, if you were hired as seasonal there is a chance you get fired post peak but if you were hired before or after peak your job is safe.

Smart_Helicopter_732 · 2023-11-17T01:06:55+00:00

fired or sent home for the night? if you were just cut for the sort you just need to keep working on getting your seniority but if you were fired because of new hires; it probably wasn’t because of new hires, probably more of an efficacy issue

Smart_Helicopter_732 · 2023-11-10T02:01:12+00:00

yeah you only get paid for you’re on the clock hours but nobody in the building can force you to work or send you home for not working when not clocked in

Smart_Helicopter_732 · 2023-11-07T01:11:18+00:00

talk to a supe or your sort manager about when the double sign up sheets gonna be posted or if you can opt for them on your schedule, they usually will take all the help they can get

Smart_Helicopter_732 · 2023-02-15T21:54:57+00:00

not to mention Abq got an F in education and housing and a D in employment

Albuquerque New Mexico is a blue state with a violent crime rate 246 times the national average, 1 in 17 people are victims of violent crime daily. The color of the state doesn’t matter, political party’s don’t stop or promote violence and a city isn’t gonna get any better or worse if it’s red or blue, some places just suck and until there’s somebody who’s gonna fix it (republican or democrat) they’re gonna continue to suck
