Sorry to hear about that Glenn. Hope things go well with the job search. Like everyone has said, file for unemployment to keep some money in your pocket. And what ever you do, don't sell the SVT!
There is no UPS in his area, I checked. There are some UPS stores but they are a bit of a distance from him and not hiring.
If you are a full time UPS employee it's worth working there. Steph worked there part time and they killed her with the union dues. Even sent letters stating that they would suspend her from the union if she didn't pay the dues (back dues). They sent letters even though the money was coming out of her check, a whole years worth of dues! She had to stay current and at the same time they were making her pay dues for a time when she wasn't even employed there. WTH? :shrug:
