1) NEGATIVITY. Lazy people are negative, people will tell you the company is going under, we are never getting flight benefits, and many other gossipy rumors that have no intelligent thought behind them. Like, seriously, the stuff I hear here is just nonsense. There are quite a few employees here who are very timid and easily frightened. Don't be one of them, it's annoying to hear a self-entitled baby.
2) ASPEN FLIGHTS... Omg. Aspen flights. The planes we work are little, (CRJ 200/700s, EMB 145s, Q400s, and ERJ 170/175s), and when you try to put 100 gigantic bags and skis on one, you'll be sweating hard trying to fit all those bags on, but hey, don't get too worked up about it. We'll figure it out as a TEAM!
3) Attention to detail. Unfortunately, people don't like to pay attention. Bags get loaded on wrong flights, someone forgot to do potable water, etc. Honestly, supervision is key, and their is a lack of supervision here. Work on my team though, and I'll pay attention for you. However, the work force is lacking good people like me these days.
4) BAD PUBLICITY!!! Google United Simplicity Denver and you will find quite a few articles about how Simplicity is at fault for poor customer satisfaction and all types of things. I wish I could smack the writers, because they have no evidence to back up their claims. The truth is, United employees are sometimes DEDICATED to try and make things hard for us. Yes, we are understaffed, and United employees could easily help us, but they don't. Here's an example: I was unloading a plane, and my other agents had to go help passengers with their gate-checks. I was sitting in the plane, and asked the two United Ramp agents if they could grab the bags they were specifically their to pick up, called TOB bags. What did they do? They helped, right? I mean, we are all under United Airlines and ONE team right? WRONG. They shook their heads and said they wouldn't take the bags off of the belt. Sad, because that means customers don't get their bags on time since I had to wait for my agents to get back to help me. Of course, Simplicity gets the blame when that happens. Not the lazy United TOB runners who refused to help. And we can't say anything to them, because they technically employ us. BS.
