[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 73244, member: 484"] Yep I was actually looking out for the other drivers in my loop and center. I don't know how it is where you worked, but in my center/district they will only allow so many drivers per building/number of routes. If you have people that are on comp, FML etc, you can not bring in drivers to cover for that vacancy. So you work the drivers that are left to death. In my case the doctor told me I was finished on sept 1. I waited for the second opinion, and it was the same. So on the 15th I talked to my sup, center manager, and business agent and we agreed that it would not benefit anyone if I just hung on, so I retired. That allowed my position to be placed up for bid and allowed them to bring in a new full time body. In time for Christmas. I could have done it like several other drivers have done in the past and stayed on the role for two more years and never work a day. But why? As it turned out, I was one week of benefits short of being able to buy out my last year, when they remembered that I did some safety paper work during that two weeks between the 1st and 15th. About 10-15 minutes worth. They paid me the couple of bucks and paid benefits for that week. I was able to buy out the year and retire. So everything worked out to the greater good for all involved. I got to leave on a good note with full retirement, a new driver got a full time job, UPS got a younger driver full of piss and vinegar who knew the area anyway. So while I guess I did quit "right before peak" it was the right thing to do, considering. But am so glad you asked. Yall leave her alone, she has been hanging around tie too long and picked up some "issues" BTW, been thinking, ever notice that Susie and Tie really like to argue? Maybe.....Nah Well with all the posters with more than one ID, who knows? d:D [/QUOTE]
