[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 1501392, member: 198"] With ORION coming in I expect people to be laid off. Even without it. So many full-timers were hired last year leading up to peak and now UPS is going into their usual after peak crunch mode and will probably be worse this year as an attempt to get back some of that peak profit they missed out on this year by using more people. The savings from not having so many missed pieces won't even cover the amount of coin they could have made by stuffing the trucks like pigs like they normally do during peak. The squeeze will be brutal for that reason. It will be worse in buildings that only have a preload and reload/local sort. Some laid off drivers will have to work split shifts to get their 8 hours. ORION will compound this issue because I'm hearing that many centers lost routes after full implantation. I just wish people would concentrate on safety and refuse to follow ORION when it's unsafe per the methods as opposed to following it out of fear. If it's unsafe don't do it. It would be a shame if routes were cut unnecessarily because drivers were spending the majority of their days cutting across traffic and backing P1000s into driveways 60+ times just to adhere to a crazy metric.
