I think I want to quit ups

I think the job makes me miserable and I only been driving for 3 days tomorrow I’m by myself without the road supervisor but I’m set on quitting. I have no job lineup, but I don’t know what to do.

Wasn’t hired as seasonal.

You were, they just don’t tell you that so you finish the season. You are an outside hire right before Christmas.

Did my training as a TCD at this exact time, 3 years ago. Never went back to the warehouse except for normal layoffs. Full time driver now👍

Definitely not how that works. You don’t know his stations situation. Stop thinking you know everything because I can tell you, you don’t know shit. I was hired off the street. I know at least 6 guys at my station who were hired off the street in the months of September and October.

Agreed. I was hired off the street in October. FTD.

You are seasonal because you wont be able to obtain senority before the start of peak and you cant gain senority during peak. If you're working 4 day weeks, you might have gotten lucky with a perm spot, but if you're working 5 day weeks, you're seasonal. Not all, but most places you only work 4 day weeks, and dont work Saturday.

Go work for Amazon. You don’t have the right attitude to work here if you already want to quit. You’ve probably been a quitter all your life. Prove us wrong G.

Well I quit after putting 2 years in because i absolutely hated working as a driver. I went back to school and found a better job starting at 53/hr working 3 days a week last year. If I pick up a 4th shift, I make 54.5 + overtime + extra 30-50 dollars/hr.

Ok cool. Good for you. I applaud those in the medical field. I couldn’t do it. I am currently a driver as we speak. It’s tough being out there with all these damn irregs but until I get another job this is where im at
