[QUOTE="U(s)PS Guy, post: 307807"] What do I do to keep my job? Well I am the only person that has stayed on this operation in the almost 2 years this facility has ran it. In that time, we have had 4 employees either quit or be fired, and 6 or 7 temps go the same route. I am the only person who knows how to take care of any and all paperwork and computer work, and I deal with all the logistical problems of getting the equipment to my facility. If I were to be let go, I can see my supervisors scrambling for a few weeks trying to learn what to do and losing a lot of volume until it was figured out. Again, I would love to see my volume increased but I have absolutely no control over that. It is decided by a panel to determine what the Post Office wants to give us. Our volume has gone up and down and up and down again with no rhyme or reason. There is nothing I can do but wait for the next quarter bid to come out and see what my team will be handling. And in case you are wondering, my center is going down again when 2nd quarter starts, but by a very small amount. Before you say something along the lines of "well you must not be performing at high enough standards to warrant more volume" I should let you know that UPS across the country is losing approximately 50,000lb's, so it is not just my team performing poorly, instead it is probably UPS deciding they can't handle what they are taking on at the moment. I think I may have confused some of you. My facility receives mail from the local Post Office in boxes and bags. We take those and load them in to large air containers, load the containers into trucks and move them down to HWP. From here they are flown to their respective cities of destination. When the mail arrives at the destination airport, another UPS facility just like mine, will unload the boxes into mail containers, load them onto a USPS truck, and be sent off to that local Post Office. We do no actual, physical, delivery of the mail. We only move it between on PO to another. [/QUOTE]
