Working New Years Eve

[opie]

I'm a Saturday driver, and was told by a supervisor that all air drivers have to work. I think it's all talk. People may have other things going on, another job or obligations...especially if weekday mornings is not your regular shift. I can see them getting FT and the PT air drivers that usually work AM and preloaders who drive on Saturday to work. I'm working Sunday night inside, so I will pass. Not sure if it ever gets to the point where they "force" people to drive.

After working 55+hr weeks for the last two months, I'll take the four day weekend. Thank You very much.

Still 47.67 a hour and no one signs the list to work, We have it good. I always plan around these days, I never scheduled a vacation the week of Columbus day or Veteran’s day. Its easy money. I rather take another day that's not Time and half all day. I'm one greedy SOB.

It's a holiday. If I work it's no longer a holiday.

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

WE get time and a half

 

[cosmo1]

This varies from district to district---we get 8 hours holiday pay and straight time for hours worked.

BOG fail.

 

[toonertoo]

We get holiday pay, plus double time. Not working, had enough.

not only not working new years eve, but i tacked on wed. for five in a row
SCORE

(also never liked dealing with the crap that comes out of that hold & closed trailer right after new years ; packages that look like they were rolled here from 6 states away, 2 or 3 service crosses on one package, plastered with multiple pal labels, and there is always at least one ham that turns up in an advanced stage of decomposition with toxic juice dripping from a wet corner of the box * thanks, but no thanks)

They could pay me triple time and I still wouldn't work it.

Mmmm haven't had a snow cone in while. Now if my boss offered that up I might think about it.
This job teaches you money isn't everything.

Where can I find the information about my district? I'm working NYE. Easy money.

From a co-worker or supervisor in your center?

(I told you that you would working.)

Air is late today, looks like Waffle House for a sit down meal.

Doesn't matter to me. Easy money. I like these forced worked holidays. Shorter hours, easier money.

Everyone has their price....


And, Double time is mine, so I'm working. I wouldn't for 1.5
