[QUOTE="gingerkat, post: 1067745, member: 43502"] Okay, so let me try and take a stab at this. I know that my orientation was pretty useless, so I imagine yours was the same. Not much info was given about how much we would be working or how long, so I get your complaint on that. I also get your complaint on how much work you do... because that certainly wasn't talked about either. I only knew these things from being on this forum before I to applied for the position, so I didn't have that complaint. I think that many of the drivers here having been doing so for a while now, so they forget what it's like for someone like you or I having never done the job before. I myself love the physical part of the job and don't really care what the pay is. The least amount I worked was 6 hours and that was on the first day. Now my driver keeps me as long as he wants, usually without permission from his sups. I do look at my time slip and I see that on certain days I'm only supposed to work 4.67 hours or something odd like that, but we work until done. With that being said, it's hard for them to feel bad for helpers when they do this by themselves all year long. But, I hope drivers will remember that we aren't really conditioned for this kind of work. So maybe we can all play nicely?:whiteflag: Just so you know, you aren't alone in your frustration, but this might be the wrong place to look for sympathy. Oh, and you get paid a whole $1 more than I do, but I still keep on smiling and enjoy the job. Hey it's better than sitting around chatting up my cat all day long. If you're still working the helper job, see if you can get a few more hours the final days. [/QUOTE]
