Is this true about working at FedEx, USPS, and UPS?

You worked at the one in hodgkins? My first warehouse job was UPS in Harvey I was going to stay till I got a driver job but the hours and pay was azz

352 on Halstead was that bus. Pace held me down 350 364 357 if I really wanted to travel.

I worked at UPS for two days and quit. My dad warned me before I started that this ain’t your type of job and you should fall back.

I ended working for the winter season and I will never do it again. My manager was so damn rude and loading the trucks were absolute bullshyt.

After my second day I called my dad and said I was done. My old man laughed at me and said I knew your ass wasn’t going to make it. Now come back home.

i was a warehouse manager at fed ex when i was younger for about a year shyt was hell and it was like being in a war cuz everyday you would come in and you lose another person you never see again

it was impossible to make a schedule as someone would go missing everyday

but its actually pretty solid job for a young breh dont mind physical labor

I worked at the Memphis hub a few years. In what may be the most physically demanding area. Started in summer, those first few months are brutal if you’re not already in shape. But you adjust and basically end up some kind of industrial athlete lol (not a coincidence that I was putting my ex through the mattress with ease then). not sure how fat and or lazy people last. also they’re crazy strict about tardiness and attendance, most of the people you start with won’t be there in a years time

oh and the injuries are REAL. mfs getting their legs crushed and losing limbs and shyt. even if you’re doing your best to stay safe, it doesn’t mean your coworkers are. My last day I was rushing and forgot to choke/brake my tug. a 6000lb+ vehicle running over your foot, even with composite toe boots

the Memphis hub is infamous

I worked at UPS during covid and let me tell you

The amount of people buying flatscreens and toilet paper was astronomical I was there for a year until I got my first IT job and I still have back problems to this day

The post office sweet easiest job i had in my life

I try to tell the New Recruits that it gets easier with Time but they Quit cause of an overbearing Super

One of those jobs have a union hence they ain’t lifting heavy shyt…

FedEx and ups will make a man out of you lmaoo

Ups has a union breh, the teamsters

manual labor is for college kids and unskilled young adults.

*or willingness to be talked to crazy

My mom worked at the Memphis hub for 10 of 15 years. I think she retired 2016 or 2017.

Thread title is kinda goofy because working at FedEx and UPS isn't the same as working at USPS.

He's not lying.I worked at UPS my senior yr of high school.Just like the guy in the vid, I thought they'd have me loading/unloading the brown trucks you see on the street.NOPE.First day on the job, they tossed me in a 53 ft big rig.Shyt had a bunch of 130 lb air conditioners stacked on pallets.Had to be about 150 of them bytches.I'm looking around like "Is the human body even made for this!? How does OSHA allow it?" I was in that trailer for 4 hrs.I had to lift the packages about 3ft off the ground, onto a conveyor belt.Once you placed it on that belt, you'd have to walk back down to the other end of the trailer, pull it off, and transfer it to another belt that was strictly made for 70+ pound packages.Double handling that shyt.That was the thing that bugged me the most.You couldn't send everything on the same belt.Another fukked up thing, the belt for the 70+ pound packages would always turn off.That's when the supervisor would walk over and tell you "Push all your 70+ pound packages to the side & just unload your regular packages" So now you're working through a bunch of clutter.Barricaded by 70+ pound packages on both sides of your trailer.Guess what that means? YOU'D HAVE TO TRIPLE HANDLE THEM MTHAFUKKAS!.Pushing a bunch of 130 lb packages to the side takes energy.Once the 70+ belt came back on, you'd have to

1.Slide the 70+ packages back into position
2.Lift them bytches off the ground back onto the conveyor belt.
3.Pull & lift it again to transfer them over to the 70+ belt.

I tried to hack it for 3 days,.By day 4, I was out

One day they put me in a trailer with an older guy who did construction on the side.He told me UPS was hard job

I don’t know where this cap coming from about the usps being a cake walk
Maybe in 2006-2015 before amazon
But nan nikka on here got the heart to deal with Post Office shyt on here
Especially when you have to deliver Amazon, Ups, FedEx and Dhl
Plus mail
Don’t @ me no fukk shyt
I worked there for 15 years and you can’t tell me a muthafukkin thing

I worked in the warehouse at both FedEx and USPS back in the day. And they are not the same.
