[QUOTE="Waste Manager, post: 1243592, member: 48691"] ""I think it's funny that in a time of huge unemployment, hourly employees are complaining that they have work"" It's not that they have work, it's the amount of work in a short time.. Better idea..UPS alone..could probably stimulate the US economy..just by hiring more staff,and spreading 'that wealth' around a bit more..instead of working one driver 12 hours..why not 1 at 8 hrs,and another at 4?..or..split a 12 hour 'shift' into 2- 6 hour shifts..some people only want..or need to work those shortened hours..for whatever reason..but that would be progressive thinking on new employment strategties.. Here's the rub..'hiring more staff''..which they didn't do Peak 2013 ..they went with the same percentage of staff from 2012..and an unknown amount of volume, IE dropped the ball there..on-line shopping now accounts for 40% of the average X-Mass shopper's total..ask around to those you know who still do the gift giving ritual..get some idea what people are spending.. Do you think UPS 'planned' for such explosive growth? Expect the unexpected.. Hmmm.. [/QUOTE]
