[QUOTE="Rainman, post: 1214666, member: 22207"] We are already working close to Christmas hours in my center most days. I really don't care how much volume they plan on giving me. I will do what I can do and not sweat the rest of it. We are on plan to run more than double the number of temp drivers that we had last year, 5 times what we had the year before. Most of these havent been put on the road yet, while only 2 or 3 are working more than a day or two each week. Most of these temps will be bodies filling a position, rather than a lot of real help. We are hiring 30 temp drivers off the street this year for my building (5 centers), having exhausted all available inside help. Sounds like a screwed up peak. The plan will probably be to pull every available body from every inside management function during the last week or so, as they have done in the past when we have had snow or ice storms. I'll put in my 55 or 60 hours each week and go home and let them worry about the rest. Its a great time not to be in management. This will be my 35th peak season with the company. Experience has taught me not to sweat the the things that I have no control over. I'll drive my little brown truck down my little brown road and deliver my little brown packages. And I'll laugh my way all the way to the bank. [/QUOTE]
