[QUOTE="ORLY!?!, post: 955920, member: 16334"] Interesting colors, indeed. We have red, blue, green, brown (of course), yellow and orange and pink cages are for repo, which means return to sort. Another question, have you reached seniority yet? Which means you've been there 30-90 days, or have they told you, now you have seniority, yet? Normal PPH, as they request you be at by the "methods", are 270 for the first hour and 217 for the rest of the three and half hours. A lot of the slackers never get even close to 200 PPH, and are given sets with light amounts in our terms. 900 packages in a night is a good days work. Theres times when you will get 700 and other nights where you could get 1000+. I had a set last year where on one night I ended up getting 1400, this between 3 cars. Not a good night at all. Yea that sucks! I hate when you do right by the company only to be punished for it. You get caught up and they want you to go help joe sh** the rage man down the way or other side that has peanuts volume.

You can clean out a cage 100% of the way, and it passes the charge slide once, and get completely blasted with 20+ more packages, yea within one pass.
