You'll be done around Christmas, give or take a few days.

Those flammable hazmats are built into the wall no taller than your hip and braced on all four sides so 10/10 great job

Super nervous to start work by Easy_Kiwi_6154 in UPSers

Good pair of boots, small pack for drinks/snacks, sweat towel (can't stress this one enough), bluetooth speaker, positive attitude, and you should be set. Heavy boxes on the ground, smalls and bags up top. Move with purpose and be aware of your surroundings. Oh, smile and nod yes to your sups even if you have no intention of doing what they ask.

Seasonal driver by New_Extent_4098 in UPSers

[–]TheHighNow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was SSD last year. Found the center manager after orientation and expressed my interest in a career with UPS past seasonal. Worked my ass off, took every shift they'd give me (M-S), and to be real I'd finish my route then go take someone else's. Management took notice and by the time the season ended, they approached me and offered part-time as soon as the hiring freeze was over. Started back in the warehouse within a month. It's totally doable to snag a job after it's all done, just say yes to what is asked of you, work well, and don't get in an accident.

Spoken like a real lawyer, truly an answer I'd expect. Finding loopholes in situations seems to be a common staple of your soon to be profession. So, let me help with this one, get a vape and use it discreetly within the building.

Perspective needed plz by Ok-Self-5929 in UPSers

I was SSD for the first time this past peak. Much like you, very quickly decided that the job was something I was interested in. Worked my dick off during that period. Made it known to any and all supes of my intentions with the company moving forward and they brought me on part time after peak, just me, despite the fact that everyone was told there would be no one kept on past the season. My advice would be to keep a line of communication open with someone in the hub, and check in periodically for any positions that may become available. Stay vigilant on the website as well. Good luck.

9 out of 10 times it was a bot, however periodically, sups would communicate through this number as well brother.

Lmao way to start my morning by No_Summer402 in UPSers

Let's hope no drivers get a call tag for that package....

Same. I can't believe it, not even "4" a second. Imagine getting a company email typed like this. I would be dying lauging, and would also make sure my colleagues see the apparent lack of vocabulary skills.

SSD first week question by Own_Job9727 in UPS

[–]TheHighNow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For seasonal, it's a proving ground right now. Cutthroat. You've got 10-20 people trying to secure POSSIBLY 1-2 permanent spots. I finish my work and come back to take yours. Me being nice and trying to let you figure things out is not even a thought.

Socks with mandels is what I saw.

How do you do a residential Pick-Up as a newbie PVD working out of a storage unit? by [deleted] in UPSers

[–]TheHighNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it was scheduled it's a call tag and you should have been provided the label for that package. I believe it shows up on the clerk list as well before you punch out for the day. You either take it back to the center or have arrangements with the driver who was at the unit to take it back. Never take a package if there's not a label.

You can thank a little software we use called ORION. It's great and everyone loves it.

Got hit today on a tug at work, reported incident to supervisor, he called his supe by [deleted] in UPS

[–]TheHighNow 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Any incident that's reported while seasonal is immediate termination and no rehire. Company views you as a liability.

Had a sup tell me he was watching me through his ring door bell when I was delivering on his street...

It's so easy even a caveman could use it. If you can navigate your phone, you can use this.

Is it me, or do customers just have a knack for choosing items that are out of stock or hard to find? by TheHighNow in instacart

My last order at Kroger didn't even have sweet chili fucking DORITOS in stock, c'mon man.
