[QUOTE="over9five, post: 1203133, member: 1401"] RANT: Maybe it's the "not knowing". In Package, you can generally look in the back of your PC and say "I'll punch out about 8". In Feeders you [B]never[/B] know when you'll be done. They own you right till 14 hours. You can inbound after your last leg with 11 hours in, your job done, expecting to go home.... and they can send you back out. It's even worse now. With the new IVIS system, the [B]cowards[/B] don't even have to face you when they force you out again. They have a [I]machine[/I] tell you. Now when you're on your way in on your last leg, hoping to go home, you hear those three evil alerts and you know you just got more work. You don't even know where you'll be going (is it a close one, or several more hours?) I would rather hear it from a human that I'm being screwed again, but like I said, they don't have to even talk to us when they force us back out. I think I'd be cool with working the OT if I knew when I'd be done. "Over, you'll be working 2.3 hours OT tonight, then you can go home". OK, thanks boss! Hell, we even have sign-up lists (that are always full) of people who [I]want[/I] overtime. I can't understand why they have to force people. Use the idiots (oops!) that want it! Rant over. This rant has been brought to you by Over9five. Thank you for reading. [/QUOTE]
