Lion's Club

[PPH_over_9000]

So this is more of a rant post but have any of y'all been introduced to this? There was something on a monitor earlier this week that was talking about lions and their dens and ...

And then Wednesday or Thursday management decides to recognize our center's first member of the lion's club.

They called out his name and he walked up to grab his piece of printed out paper from the office. I wasn't surprised when I heard the name, he's a great dude. All around likeable who doesn't know how to say no. This guy is our center's most notorious runner. To the point where the route he's been covering has been going out with 300+ stops and over 500 pieces (PVD's/SSD's and helpers but still) and this guy is ALWAYS clocked out by the time I get back to the building and start my lunch break.

So they paraded him in front of us, gave him an award and said "Be more like this guy."

Lol, this company, man. I'm here for a paycheck and a pension and everything else.

They actually did this at our building for a few weeks for the "most productive" driver. It was the usual runner gunners. The old timers got mad when one of the runner-gunners got a JBL bluetooth speaker during the PCM.

After a few weeks it faded away and no one has said anything about it since.

They do something like this all the time. Just sit there and smile and get paid to listen.

Runner won’t be here to enjoy that pension…will burn themselves out in a few years, getting hurt or fired for smoking pkgs…seen it happen many times

Another runner will just replace them

Wait, what? You take your meal and/or breaks back at the building?

I thought Lions Club was a bunch of bored housewives who adopt-a-highway and pick up trash or similar service projects.

What you described sounds incredibly gay.

Whatever's left, yessir.

I actually like to decompress a little so I don't take any part of the job home with me. A few minutes to shoot the and refocus and i'm out of there.

Some do. Have to get the pick up volume back to the building.

I thought they were the cougars on my route that always wanted me.

We observe the 3rd, 6th language. We even get meal reminders around 1315 each day. Breaks are up to the individual.

Ok tough guy explain why you are taking your lunch when you get back to the building
You think center manager takes his lunch when he gets done working

Not your problem
Lunch is between the 4th and 6th hour

If the company wanted the pickup volume back they would dispatch appropriately. When you do favors for them, especially by violating the contract yourself and against yourself, you lose.

I take the time I need to eat throughout the day. Sometimes that's 10min, sometimes it's 30.

It's rare I take my 30 and my 10 entirely on-road but there've been days where I was wiped and needed that break.

Typically I bang out my 10min break and another 5-10min unpaid to grab lunch and I just bank the remaining time in case I need it later in the day.

Lunch is whenever I want and has to be at least one minute.
