So, I just wanted to vent a little.
I work for UPS and this time of year it is always busy and always long hours. There is some really simple work that is left over at the end of the day for those who want over time. Basically, all the small packages and envelopes come packed in re-usable bags, during the shift the bags just pile up by the thousands. At the end people are needed to strip bar code stickers off the bags, fold and bundle the bags and then toss them into a semi trailer which is cake work for anyone.
Well, the lazy people fell they first have the right to stand and talk and literally not work at all. Then, when they do work they feel they have the right to do the easiest parts of the above simple task which is peel labels. Several friends and myself started staying to get some hours and we see them not throwing their bags into the trailer and we ignore it doing our own thing. Next thing you know they are telling us to go throw their bags... UPS is a seniority based company, the people telling me what to do have maybe 1-2 years of seniority and I am coming up on 7, not to mention they are not my boss and can't tell me anything. My friends and I feel you should throw the bags that you peel and bundle, no sense in breaking up the tasks but if they want to break it up then fine, we want to pull seniority and do the easy job ha, of course they then don't like that idea.
Today, we go over start tearing through the bags like usual while they stand around and manage to get a few bags ready to throw and when they see we are not throwing Their bags, they just up and leave as a big group leaving just 4 of us. We are fine with that, more work and hours for us, we worked 14 1/2 hours total but got every last bag done and made some good money doing it
. Having them their we wouldn't have got done much sooner and would allowed them to make big over time for standing around so I am happy they pouted and walked out.
I just hate lazy people, I am not their boss I am not going to tell them what to do but it just irks me when someone expects to be paid while someone else does their work for them.
