..so our center is usually @ 55 routes,we went down to 40 because of Passover(our center is one of the hubs of
Orthodox Judaism and is home to one of the largest
yeshivas in the world.)...anyway..i go to put my lunch box in my truck and guess what?..its empty.....i have 23 years in,been on my route for 11...i have maybe 5 closed stops for Passover...and MY ROUTE GETS ELIMINATED?...wtf..so anyway,i go to punch in and act like i didnt see my truck yet..boss says "hey you can start your vacation early!(im off this coming week)..im like what do you mean?..and the On Car and Cnt mgr both pull me aside...to tell me my route has been combined with another wholesale route in a different town....and they thought i would go home..i was like nope,im working I want my 8....so they start to scramble knowing well that i would bang the royal crap out of whatever they put me on..they start asking a bunch of guys to go home,of course they get some scums to go,and i get a nice retail route in my town..the regular guy does 170 with a UPS store pick up @ 600 ,and is done by 630...i had 160 ,i gave an 845 ETA,they were scared because they had no help(they sent everyone home or out over dispatched)..they took off the UPS pick up,i get done at 800 and my boss thanks me for a good job,says they were "watching me" online and observing me on route...if nobody volunteered to go home friday,they would have had 15 guys pushing brooms for 8 hours,but our center has ZERO will power to stick together....
