I was preaching this stuff for the last 20 years. I admit I'm jealous. If this would have been the policy
10 years ago I would have worked 4 or 5 more years.

Lol , ........Btw, your theory of ojs rides is bs. There is language in every supplement of how many times a year you are allowed to be ojs ‘ed, until it becomes an article 37 violation of over supervision, so if they are going to try to fire a guy with say 10 years seniority or more over a handful of ojs rides. Lmfao. Ok bud. Keep drinking what there givin ya.

In more pressing events.....can I count on Landry this weekend. I mean the Panthers did just get worked over by the Bucs. He’s my number 2 receiver.

He honestly has been a huge disappointment. I’d rather start Calloway

It’s a bummer cause Mayfield has been slinging it.

Deplorable.
Fantastic failure in my neck of the woods.
They hired 15 casuals, give them rentals with 5 or 6 bulk stops in each.
Doesn't do much to alleviate the workload on everyone else.
I dont think I've been off the clock in under 10 hours yet this peak.

I hope it is true. I will have my 25 yrs full-time in March. I might stick around a while with 8 weeks of hr weeks!

Plenty of 6PM-9PM finishes and 55 hour weeks but this was nothing compared to the blitzkrieg of "unforseen" volume last year that has led to air, cold shipping and medicine to sit out for days and days before getting delivered.
We've been "caught up" Since Tuesday. Hell lasted 7 days instead of 23.
The biggest inefficiencies remain our dispatch, preload and the seasonal drivers. A handful of bricked cars and a few bad apples with businesses are inflating hours of drivers that could have otherwise finished in 6 hours.

I'm as productive as the methods allow.
Why wouldn't you follow these methods everyday -all the time- whether you were having a "OJS" or not ?

Firing guys over production or “method violations” is and always has been a pipe dream for ups...been here for 25+ years and have never seen anyone fired for either of the two reasons I mentioned above but the company swears up and down they can do it... lol whatever... in 99% of the cases where our guys get walked out for good they have almost always been justified afaic...

Judge me.
Personally, that's my gut feeling on it. Give us FedEx sized workload for 5 years, lock us out and hire people at FedEx sized paychecks.

Possibly ups has figured out that finding drivers is getting more difficult these days. They're trying to make the job more attractive.
Can't think of any preloaders in my center that want the driver job. They see what goes in & don't want to deal with that craziness.
People don't want to get home @ 8, they want some time to live life, see their families.
The end game?? Pure speculation but...over the next 5 years, See if they can drum up some competent drivers with the 22.4 situation to replace the many soon to be retirements. If they can then we'll go back to the cut routes & heaviness. If they can't they'll part the seas with surepost. Route #'s will go down & we'll be a business,rural & "over 50/irregs" delivery service.

Thinking that there will be a major push on the next contract to give up a major benny. Either give up pension for a 401k match or pay certain amount for insurance or freeze pay.
Something to force a strike & restructure the company without a union.
This is only if they see they can't repopulate the driving crop.

It was never that hard to get it right. All you gotta do is have the proper amount cars and people.
It wasn't rocket science. It was just greed and being stubborn.

59 hours 3 weeks in a row. So much for 9.5

We were doing great with the whole 9.5 day, but it's been thrown out the window here for 3 weeks. Last week was 59.6 hours by Friday, today they had me come in and burn my last 4 hours for the week. Hope things settle down this week, but I'm in the NorthEast. It could drop a few feet of snow like nothing and screw it all up now that we are supposedly caught up. We'll see.
