See, you're looking at it from your level..only 2 pkgs. You need to look at the big picture, 120,000/day is nothing to sneeze at. 21 operating days in May.....that's 2,520,000 less pkgs than last May.....so yeah, we need to cut some hours. All the other costs are pretty much fixed and already in the budget......it's the OT and extra hours onroad that aren't.
I'm looking at it from the perspective that we're always the ones expected to suck it up and do without. Can't touch the profit margin, must maintain it to keep the stock price up. Just how many pkgs are being shipped overnight with Ground now?
We were told last week that there will be some route restructuring starting this week. I've had some slow weeks on my rt lately too. Route goals are being adjusted, leave building times being enforced. I know it's inevitable, but knowing I'll be getting less hours and thus less pay is all the worse because they've held my pay down while inflation is ramping up. So yeah, I'm looking at it from my perspective. How long can I hang on to a job that makes it tough to just hang on?
