[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 869309, member: 17969"] Then what CROWBAR, Lose the support of the customers when "we" collectively look like idiots complaining that we have a job, make close to 100K a year with full benefits while the unemployment rate sits at close to 9.5%? I am sorry, but this is the stupidest idea ive heard on this board yet. Dont take it personally. Standing in front of the hub, and contacting a news agency to broadcast our complaints is something out of the twighlight zone. If you think that the public would support our "whining" that we work too much while they sit and watch TV cashing an unemployment check and then hearing how we are paid "triple time" for the violations is something you should re think. IF you are paid the penalty for the violation of excessive overtime, guess what?? YOU ARE MADE WHOLE. Indeed, you cant get the hours back to spend with your families, but you are WHOLE. Sure, the company is paying outrageous money in overtime because of these ridiculous cuts, but they dont care. They arent smart enought to do the math. Remember, those in charge now dont have the first clue on how to run this business. Ever since the did the dinosaur removal back in 94, the company lost its way to production. They believed they could "dumb" down this job enough where some IE GEEK could punch up a few numbers and make magic happen. Now, they can hire off the street monkeys who dont have the first clue on how a package route is run or the daily intangibles effect the day and they make decisions that end up costing the company three times as much to get the days business done. Its all over. Every state, every region, every hub. From unload to preload to package. MONEY flies out the window each and everyday. I just clicked 69K for the year in package with 4 months to go. With the inclusion of peak pay, I should crack 100K AGAIN in the package division. UPS can blame itself for the high pay. My whole hub works close to 12 hours a day.. it has an 1145 average paid day. That should tell you that you have some guys out 13 hours and some out 10 hours. Ridiculous? Sure, but the triple time pay is gravy on a fat turkey. Peace. [/QUOTE]
