I work as a package handler for UPS from Mon-Fri. The pay is shit ($10.86/hr) and the hours are typically from 6:00 - 9:00/9:30 per day. I make about $168 per week.
They expect a lot for such a shit wage. For example, they expect you to scan a package every SIX seconds and to line it up perfectly onto the truck and to have 300 packages scanned hourly. They want you to not only scan a fuckton, but to shape it perfectly onto the truck which is impossible as one cannot be both accurate and fast at the same time.
Should I quit this piece of shit job? Benefits are only given after 3 months, the conditions are ridiculous, and the pay is insanely low.
I wouldn't quit, dealing with boxes sounds a lot better than dealing with customers

Do these hours fit around the rest of your life? I'd rather do two proper days' work than five shitty short days.
If you're stuck with these hours though, you're unlikely to find another, similar role.

Don't give up a job unless you can find a job with +30% hourly wage,that's my rule of thumb,unless some real bullshit is going on,of course,but if you can find one of those jobs then go for it

>6:00 - 9:00/9:30 per day. I make about $168 per week. It's a part time job, wtf do you expect?
Thomas King
Warehouse jobs weren't meant to be for life user. They were meant to be jobs you did between real jobs. I worked as a package handler for $10.50 back in 2014 then got a job as a delivery driver for Sherwin Williams in 2015. 10x harder than UPS but only got paid $9.68 and I didn't get time and a half for overtime.
Caleb Turner
dude i did that shit before. i quit after the first training week. its not worth the strain on your body. do overnight stocking at target or someshit. its way less physically demanding. package handling is literally slave labor. get out
Camden Jones
idk about your area, but around here every business is struggling to find bodies. If a job sucks there are 10 others ready to hire you ASAP
Aiden Cooper
>3h per day >weekends off >$168 per week Fuck you. You wageslaves in first world countries have it good. I'd need a DECENT full time job to make $168 per week. >b-but, user, everything costs more in first world countries Not really everything. Electronics for example cost about the same everywhere, so you can easily afford a ps4 or n switch after 1 month of work, while I would literally have to spend over half my salary on it. Fuck this world.

It sounds like you really don't understand just how expensive the cost of living is here. It doesn't matter if you take home $300 a week if you're paying $295/week in rent and bills
Tyler Hughes
Quit, life isn't worth spending 80% of your time working... I'd rather be broke and happy doing what I want to do than have maybe 200$ and waging my life away..
If you're working 40 hours, chances are you only get 8 days off a month, which equals to 96 days off a year...
is it really worth it?
William Brown
>$295/week
LMAO THAT'S FUCKING NOTHING
Try renting a shitty studio that's 1300 a month and then come complain you fucking wagelet.
Landon Bailey
How the fuck does anyone live on $300/week, I take home at least $2,000/week and it's still hard to live in a real city.

> work for 2 years > save up 10k or more > buy a little mobile home in the middle of nowhere > literally only have to work 3 days a week to afford food, taxes, utilities
It's like you retards aren't even trying, just buy a fucking small home in New York or some shit and all you have to do is make enough to pay property taxes and utilities.
Or better yet, mortgage a house and actually put that $1250 a month you spend on rent towards actually OWNING something...
Isaiah Rodriguez
user-bro I was in the same spot as you when I got out of highschool, doing temporary labour jobs sweating all day for shit pay. My reccomendation if its possible is to get a license for driving forklift (I would reccomend high reach narrow isle and counterbalance [check your local government agencies and see if they will help cover the cost of training I had mine completely covered because I had job opportunities I proved to them I could work at if i had a forklift license]) once I did that it let me get better paying jobs ($15 to $18 an hour) which eventually led to a job offer during a temp job Now Im managing a warehouse' shipping and recieving department making $20/hr at 19 years old. Due for a raise in July and I pretty much browse forums all day and play on my Nintendo switch
Oliver Anderson
Slav.
You must be spending money on drugs and nightclubs or something
Jose Thompson
rent is the maximum you ever pay a month, with housing the mortgage is the minimum, taxes, insurance, repairs, work never ends, stuck for 7 years minimum if you ever want to break even moving. Having a house is a joke for many people.
David Nguyen
>in a city
I make about 650 take-home pay every month and can easily afford a place to live, internet, and sometimes a book or game. since i'm WELL below the poverty line, i get some decent food bennies and prescription coverage. Move out of the city and into the more rural areas nigga.
