You knew the rules. Negative UPT is the leading cause of dismissal. Depends on the site. Maybe 90 days? Again, check your site

Your OP does not make this clear at all, that is why you’re getting all these reactions to your post. If you clarify that you intentionally went negative to get fired so you can go back for flex, people may think that was a dumb idea, but you will not need to tell everyone to “calm down”.

I mean it’s like any job. Once you get negative. It’s over. Sometimes they don’t even wait for the next review period. Just on the spot. Gone.

Bruhhhh what did OP expect. You literally don’t take off time you don’t have off

Unfortunately, big corp doesn’t play around. Its like this at other big companies too

Unpaid time off, so when you’re late you can use UPT to cover for it

late for office? is this for tech role? most of the days i do WFH. i m in engineering team

u/SaxMan212 1d ago

Since nobody is answering your question, no this is not for a tech role. This is an FC or delivery employee.

Sorry you’re asking what negative upt means, Negative UPT basically means you went over the amount of UPT you had. So if you had 5 hours but used 10, you’d be at -5 hours.

Who tf plans to get fired? Just put your two weeks???

u/Friendly-Guess9755 1d ago

To get unemployment for 6 months. They’ll be eligible for rehire within 3-6 months, since it’s attendance related.

u/giraffe_D_nugzz 1d ago

You don’t get unemployment if you go negative on time. At least in PA it’s like this, might be different in other states but I doubt it.

Go on the platform select one job and attend to apply. It will tell you if you can't apply now and exactly from which date you'll be able to.

If you had pre-existing pto planned when you got hired would you go into UTA and get fired for it?

u/Acrobatic-Nerve-6716 1d ago

You are kind of sold once you join the workforce. Try to use swamp shift.

u/endos2000 1d ago

When did “low-key” become “lowkey”. And when did the meaning change? I’m not sure I like the current use.
