I overheard one of the ladies in the office calling all of the helpers this afternoon, confirming they would be showing up on Monday because it is expected to be heavy here. This on the same day half the center is gone by 1700 and mandatory Sunday.
Exactly. The reason for delays is not volume but rather UPS not willing to spend the money to properly train temps prior to peak and hire the proper amount of employees to handle the volume. The company imposed a hard stop count for our building on Monday, once that number was reached the trailer doors were shut and the drivers were sent out with delivery volume left in the yard until Tuesday.
Monday is gonna kick our ass
Oh Really now? Tell that to the FT driver who was fired for calling in last sunday when they were told it was mandatory. Of course it was a working termination. Also, Sunday is double time, so even though everyone in our center is griping a little bit, we will all be there, the money is needed around Christmas time.
I have post office and 2 other stops I do until noon, thinking surepost is going to start easing up, Which means I will be up to a full route after my post offices instead of the half a route I have now
You should find the clip from the movie kingpin....awesome puke scene lol
Disagree. Most of the delays are simply because the building just can't handle the volume.
Working Terminations arent worth the paper they are written on. Its just a cheap Third Rate Scare Tactic.
It's magic....
I thought I had prefaced the paragraph with the following but failed to type it. Quite honestly, I have no flipping clue. It literally just appears...
Saturday pickups from big shippers. Our hub has been working 6 days for months.
