[QUOTE="Light Beer, post: 999972, member: 42304"] This is what I've been told: -I was hired as a casual driver, but the guys that tell me what to do seem to use the terms "casual" and "seasonal" interchangeably. -There is a 2 week layoff starting 1 Sep for me. -I am not guaranteed to come back for the winter (I'm not guaranteed anything actually) -For every person in my position to be hired as a FT driver, there need to be 5 in company hires first. -If I get in an accident or get hurt, I'm out of the job. I have no false expectations at all. This is a great job and I enjoy the fact that it is competitive. I keep my mouth shut and do what I'm supposed to do. I say hello to everyone I see and learn from the senior drivers as much as I can. I've been lucky to be doing the same route every day and it seems most of the other casuals in my center are doing the same route every day (at least for the past 3 weeks). I work hard and I work safe and right now I'm focusing on completing every shift and looking towards a longer term goal of being asked to come back for the winter season. I appreciate all the comments and please let me know If what I think I know is wrong or if you guys can tell me anymore. Am I allowed to post what center I work at on here? [/QUOTE]
