Yep. UP fu-king S.It started with training. Due to the current pandemic, most of our training was online (at a UPS sort facility, which defeats the purpose.) The actual behind the wheel training took place off site. In my case 15 E Oregon Ave, Philadelphia, PA.I live in Catonsville, MD. And I had to be there at 7AM.So, 7AM start time. Two and a half hour drive. Factor in 30 minutes to get up, eat breakfast, and get my uniform on. Add in another 15 minutes to make sure I'm not late. I ended up setting my alarm for 3:45 AM. And I'm a night owl who didn't fall asleep until after midnight.Oh, and most of the other members of my class got sent to closer locations.And after going there and spending six hours doing more online training and an hour behind the wheel, I still had to drive home. All in my personal vehicle, burning my gas, which I never received the promised reimbursement for. Nor anything whatsoever for all the EZ pass tolls on 95.Anyway, the next week, I'm assigned to mycenter in Baltimore. It was not the center I applied to, it was on the other side of the city. Cue tolls for the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel.The first two weeks weren't that bad; I was being trained by my supervisor. “Trained" as in he'd give me a package and I'd speed walk (but never run, heaven forbid) it to the door.As soon as I was let out on my own, this started happening:IIRC, I was supposed to park the truck, find a package in that mess (they have a sorting system which the loaders completely ignore,) scan it, drop it at the door, and be back in the truck within 30 seconds. Most of my stops had yards that took more than 30 seconds to cross, nevermind finding a package when you physically can't get into the back of the truck (without violating safety rules and climbing.)And those trucks have ZERO ventilation back there. Nothing like roasting in a 130+F truck while searching for packages.Speaking of packages, most of the large ones, marked “two person lift only" were frequently larger and heavier than I was. Did you know people order matresses and hardwood desks online?I commonly had “live harmless reptiles” in my truck. Now, I've a soft spot for reptiles, and leaving an animal with no ability whatsoever to thermoregulate in the oven that was my truck would have been animal cruelty. After the damn next day air packages (which I'd be charged for if they were not delivered by 10:30AM) were off the truck, I'd get any animals to their destinations. Management threw a fit over my “unnecessary” back tracking to deliver them. (Yeah, fu-k you, too, a$$hole.)The pay, $20/hr to start, is what attracted me to the job. Too bad HR screwed up my direct deposit three times in under a month, to include one case where they tried to pay me for only half the hours worked.Speaking of hours, when I interviewed, I was under the impression I'd be working in the vicinity of eight hours a day. It ended up being more like 14 hours six days a week. After finishing the run, it was time for my “lunch" break, usually around 9PM (I started at 8.) I could take lunch earlier, if I actually had the time. And I couldn't just leave after getting back. Its not likemy lunch break was unpaid or anything. Factor in my commute and running errands after work, and I'd get, maybe, five hours of sleep. Free time was nonexistent.Lets also not forget idiot loaders who can't comprehend written English:This package was stamped RTS: return to sender. This was reloaded on my truck for a week straight. The Soda Pop Shoppe was where it was dropped off to be shipped back. Rather than shipping it back, they just kept piling on new labels.UPS cares more about its truck than its people; a minor scratch suffered at their own facility was grounds for termination. And such scratches are bound to happen when you're trying to squeeze a 20+ft truck into a narrow aisle, with less than six inches clearance on either side and columns right in the middle of the aisle. Would've been nice if they had me practice that a few times in training. Hell, shooting a VOR approach in IMC condition as a student pilot (who technically shouldn't be flying in those conditions, though an instrument rated pilot was in the left seat) is easier than parking a UPS truck at their sort facilities.Hope you didn't order a package that required a signature but weren't there when we delivered. If that is the case, COVID-19 signed for your package. If your package is missing, please consult with the person who signed for it. (Which I was explicitly told to do by my supervisor.)The most damning of all is the treatment of their employees. My last day, we had a heat wave. I had drunk all the water I had brought with me, and, being broke (as HR screwed up my deposit and I couldn't buy any,) I began to suffer from heat exhaustion. As I started to get tunnel vision, with my entire GI tract feeling as if it was about to explode, and my skin dry (which should've been drenched in sweat,) I began to suffer from the latest stages of heat exhaustion (just before you pass out from heat stroke. Being someone who was trained by both the Civil Air Patrol and the American Red Cross (wilderness first aid,) I went about treating myself. Step 1: remove excess clothing.I took off the brown UPS button up shirt I was wearing, exposing the indecency of a plain white v-neck t-shirt. (Its not like I had my balls dangling out of the truck.) Fortunately, management put out a stop work order anout a monute latter and I retirned to the sort facility. I went into the conference room (which doubled as a break room and was one of the few A/C places in the building,) took off my boots and socks, and collapsed on the floor after punching out for my lunch break. An hour later, now cooled to a survivable temperature, I put the UPS shirt back on, punched inand then immediately back out, and started walking for my car only to be intercepted and written up by a supervisor other than my own. I'm sorry for having the audacity to apply basic first aid techniques to myself.Two days latter, a Monday, I, for some unknown reason, decided to go in. Admittedly, I was running five minutes late. By the time I got to my truck, it was empty. There was no way in Hell they transfered my packages to other trucks as well as electronically updated the manifests on multiple DIADs (which have a connect speed that makes dial up look like Fios.) They simply decided not to load it in the first place. Nor to inform me before I drove all tje way there. That was the straw that broke the camel's back. I punched out, placed the DIAD into its charging rack, and went home.A bit of research revealed that UPS has an abysmally high turnover rate. New hires are set up to fail. Why? To limit the union's power. New hires don't get protection until they have been with the company for a month. So UPS works on a revolving door: ensure no new hires actually stay long enough to join the union. Find a reason to terminate them and/or drive them out.
