Couriers during peak dropping like flies

[Cactus]

We seem to lose people to injuries just about every other day most likely as result of management's push for more SPH. Needless to say it doesn't do much for getting any extra help out there. We seem to have more people than ever off on medical that won't be back until the first of the year at best.

Screw the numbers, be safe and if the managers don't like it have 'em find a uniform and rental vehicle.

This company is literally a hot mess right now.

We just got 2 drivers back from injuries, but we lost 2 others. We also lost 1 due to a transfer. Transfers used to be frozen 30 days leading into PEAK, but not anymore.

Thanks to upper mismanagement.

Usual story, they want the volume but can't handle it.

They want the volume, but don't want to pay to get it delivered.

I've been telling fellow co-workers that just because I'm really loaded, I don't run any faster.

I'm not busting my ass this year. Been coasting along so far at a comfortable pace even though it's been busy as hell. I'm not completely exhausted when I get home for once.

It is a nice feeling.

No one is exerting themselves at my station this year, they saw how hard they worked last year during peak be rewarded with a 0% raise a few months later.

The amount of pissed off customers this year is insane also.

A senior manager came in with the flu last week ... we had 5 call-outs yesterday, total of 9 today.

Will be interesting to see, if those same people get paid, for the holiday.

Don't worry about the SM... He is salary. He gets paid whether he shows up or not.

+1 Most of the cool aiders at my station, and there were a lot, are no longer. The no raise thing was the straw that killed the camel.

I think the point he was trying to make was that if the SM was able to drag his sick ass to work then maybe some of the couriers could have done the same.

 

[CJinx]

No, stay home! Most of what a SM does can be done from home on their blackberries or company laptops. Don't get the rest of us sick! lol

I really don't think sitting in an office next to the bathroom is the same as being sick while working in 10 degree weather with 150 stops in the boonies

3 of our most seasonal couriers out with back injuries due to ice and one had the top of his finger cut off when he pulled the back door down and his hand was too close to the door...ouch!
