[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1078381, member: 43436"] You must be conversing with the wrong people. In my building, management discussed with us long ago that volumes would be heavy into mid-January. In recent years, the explosion of gifting gift cards has lead to an extension of the Holiday shopping season, and UPS has seen a big piece of that. And this year, with Christmas & New Year's Day falling on a Tuesday, many people (especially schools, white collar & manufacturing jobs) enjoyed an extended holiday, with up to three weeks off -- and now they're playing "catch up." We've been crazily busy post-Christmas for the last several years. A couple of years ago I worked more hours on both Preload and as a jumper the first week of January than I had all Peak season (more than 70 combined). I can recall myself practically begging for peak to end. And then it abruptly did -- literally within days I was sitting around to earn my 3.5 guarantee. [/QUOTE]
