[QUOTE="laffter, post: 1104084, member: 43119"] 6 months (... or 9 months) ... that's good to know. Although, I have never actually missed a day of work - not even taken a vacation/option day. Mostly just being late... very infrequently. There's actually a list of reasons why it takes me a bit longer to wrap up. I am in the last area on my belt. When the sort goes down, all of the missorts get put on the bottom belt to go down the line. As other people wrap up, they frequently fail to pay attention to these missorts coming down their way. Where do they end up? -at my diverter at the end of the belt. This is a daily routine. The belt sup often has other stuff to deal with. He can't keep making his way down there to pick up missed packages. Now, if I disregard them, the drivers will leave. These packages will be left in the building, and most likely will not be delivered that day. So, I take it upon myself to take this crap down to where it belongs - usually at least twice. I often also have to deal with missed irregs. As people wrap up their areas, they will often assist others next to them. I rarely receive assistance Tues-Thur, the heavy days. Not that I really ask for it. But, I wouldn't turn it down. I notice that some areas have routes with drivers who show up at 8:00-8:30 and immediately start working. They help wrap up their own trucks. Only one of my three drivers really does very much, and it's mostly because his route consists of many businesses that close by specific hours and he needs to be out on time. So, I'm running around cleaning up other peoples' missed crap, while there is no one really working in my area, and when everyone else finishes, they leave. It might sound like I'm complaining, but I'm really not. I'd stay until noon if they had work for me. Anyway, unless I am required to be aware of the time, I don't plan on clocking out until I am advised to do so, and then I will proceed as necessary. [/QUOTE]
