[QUOTE="RitchieDavies, post: 1175306, member: 48751"] @Jibbs, "that's when the 'official' seniority list'll come out and the lowest rungs on the ladder'll be sent home if there's not enough work." Well, that's how it's been working down here in FL. They go from the seniority list, asking everyone higher up if they want to go home. In the event none of those people asked wish to go home, that's when they'll send (out of a group of two or three at least) one of all of us home. "though... miss a single day and it feels like half my paycheck is missing next Friday." That's exactly my problem. This week however they've been doing things a tad bit differently: Sunday night, I got a text saying "Call in to see if you're working 1 hour before start time". Monday morning, sure enough, I call in and they tell me that I'm not working that day. Which is fine, I mean; one day missed? That's not too bad. I can handle that. BUT Monday night... *argh!!!!* I get a text sayin-- Well, I think you get the picture by now. So... I've missed two days now, and even though my check NEXT week won't be much, I'm hoping I don't miss a third. I called in and asked what's going on and they said none of the cover drivers were taking a vacation so you know what that means, right? Just great. At this rate I'm probably gonna miss a third day and I have bills to pay, you know. @PiedmontSteward - I'm thinking about it. But I don't want to be too hasty and get screwed further. I've heard some stories... [/QUOTE]
