[QUOTE="laffter, post: 1104111, member: 43119"] I do understand that. It's not my responsibility. Enough though I try not to, I feel like I am the only one who gives a damn about anything sometimes. Packages left in the building are just as bad as misloads. Except, we get hassled about misloads. I don't think anyone is responsible for packages left in the building. One specific event from the other day sticks out in my mind. A new hire was loading one of the areas (she's not working here anymore). She missed an irreg the first go-around - a huge over 100lb roll of carpet. Alright, business as usual. By the end of the sort, her area is full of packages. Toward the end, there's an army of 8 people, drivers included, cleaning up the area, trying to get the drivers out of there. We reverse the belt to send the irreg back down. None of the 8 people there catch it. Um... ok. I switch the belt to forward again to bring it back. I stand there, at a distance, and watch. Nobody pays attention. The irreg is about to pass them for a third time. I run over and shut off the belt... the driver of the route to which that package belongs starts to pull out. I hop off and bang on his truck for him to stop. I am thanked for my efforts. Of course, none of this matters. What matters is that occasionally I go 12 minutes into overtime. Ridiculous. In recent days, since this hassling over the whole 9 thing, I -have- been leaving the missed packages up to my belt sup. As I see him near my area, I remind him about them as well. I receive very little direction on a day-to-day basis. I don't recall anyone [I]telling[/I] me to do anything all week, actually, other than the whole get off the clock thing. I normally show up, do my work, and leave. I even volunteer to help in other areas as needed... rarely being told to do so. Obviously, if I'm told to get off the clock, I will get off the clock, then I'll "proceed as necessary" with the grievance. That's what I meant to say, anyway. [/QUOTE]
