<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Detecto92, post: 1610779, member: 75105&quot;]That&#039;s a bit beyond my control, and now that you brought that up, allow me to explain...</p><p><br /></p><p>When I was hired on, this was not&nbsp; a day of working, but to learn the ropes, I went home and was looking online. I get emails from this place when someone in my area is hiring. Well guess what? UPS posted for the same job I had.</p><p><br /></p><p>Day 1 of working, the supervisor said I did a good job, and here on out is &quot;sink or swim&quot;. The way he worded his conversation kind of threw up a red-flag, like he had rehearsed what he was going to say. I worked 1 hour that day.</p><p><br /></p><p>Day 2, I go to work, and the Supervisor basically left me. (From other ups workers I talked to, your supposed to get at least 3 days of training). I had exactly 1 hour..</p><p><br /></p><p>Break time rolls around, and he walks up to me, and again, this all sounds rehearsed, he says &quot;you need to pick up the pace, or I&#039;m letting you go&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now wait a minute, I&#039;ve been here exactly 3 hours, and the supervisor is threatening me with termination? Most places give you about a week to get used to your job. In fact everywhere I worked at gave you a week to have everything down pat...</p><p><br /></p><p>The next thing, the supervisor was not even in the same area, and there are no cameras. How can he said I need to work faster, when he NEVER saw me work? </p><p><br /></p><p>Mind you, I busted my rear, it was about 28F&nbsp; in the unloading area. I was in a shirt and shorts, and was soaked from sweat. </p><p><br /></p><p>When my shift ended, he walked up to me, (again, like this has been rehearsed) and said &quot;I don&#039;t think your cut out for this work, we appreciate you for trying though&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Again, except for threatening to fire me during break, he never once saw me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Let&#039;s see, trained me for an hour, when he was required to train me for 3 days. Threatened to fire me, when he never saw my work performance, fired me, after not seeing my work performance that day.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also (the big one), they posted a job for another package handler, the SAME DAY I was hired on.</p><p><br /></p><p>From the evidence I gathered, I figured that a relative or friend of someone who worked at UPS, needed a job. Since I was a new-hire, they canned me, so the supervisor&#039;s buddy or brother could have the job in my place.</p><p><br /></p><p>You just don&#039;t threaten to fire someone for being slow, after they walked up to you, after only being there for 3 hours, completely soaked in sweat.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
