[QUOTE="JL 0513, post: 1242350, member: 50088"] I don't think it's "poor planning" that this situation occurs at UPS. What is a company to do when volume doubles for just a a couple of weeks a year? They already hire tons of seasonal workers that just have to get laid off. Never mind the temp drivers. They can only add so many of them. Mainly because of the limit of package cars. As it is, they rent lots of extra trucks. It just makes way more sense for us permanent full timers to work an extra day once or twice a year to get the service done. Not a big deal. Try being a retail worker. Work all day Saturday and Sunday every week. For a tiny paycheck. [/QUOTE]
