[QUOTE="Island, post: 1294478, member: 42417"] Fellow 767 employee, know this, that Mesquite is one of the worst hubs in the country and there is good news. There are plans to build some new satellites and a new hub in our area to take some of the heat off you. Unfortunately due to the shift structure at UPS if your shift is assigned that volume, you really have no choice but to work it unless you have a second job that gets in the way. UPS does not break up part-time shifts into more part-time shifts just because the work hours double, as other companies would. A smart company would say, "ok, if this shift is working twice as long and it's killing the employees and the equipment, let's break it into two shifts with a break in between." UPS is not smart like that. There is no set date on when the new buildings will begin running. And since the summer retail season is beginning, I don't think your work is going to slow down very soon. Hopefully the big volume transfer will happen before peak. Until then, stock up on power bars and powerade. [/QUOTE]
