Are Mondays Insane at Your Station, Too?

[MassWineGuy]

I help with pm doc sort on Mondays or whatever the first workday is. Typically heavy for understandable reasons. But the last couple of months have been often off the wall.

A major problem is lack of staff. My manager said we’re interviewing like crazy. But when applicants learn they must take a drug test they walk out. It’s a miracle everything gets where it’s intended. Usually.

You sure do have lots of drama during your day. No wonder you stress out.

I would think applicants should KNOW that a drug test would be involved. Standard procedure at a lot of places for the last 30 years or more.

Cardinal health no longer testing for marijuana. They are fully staffed! Got a 2.50 raise also

Are they standard post accident or only when there’s reasonable suspicion?

They aren’t standard. Somebody has to ask for one better chance of getting one if they are trying to get rid of you

That can't be. According to everyone on here, hiring problems ONLY happen at FDX because they are a crappy place to work and don't pay enough. According to those same people, everyone wants to work at UPS because everyone there loves their job and they pay great. How can UPS have problems hiring people?

Probably because they have people like you who no one wants to work with.

Ups should have no issues hiring people according to everyone on here. People like me? You don't like working with white people?

No its the best day of the week. Planes landed over the weekend, no late freight leaving building at 0815 back in under 8hrs, i love Mondays.

Mondays are good on my route because that’s the only day I can finish in under 9 hours lately. Used to be a 7 hour day pretty regularly.

 

[MassWineGuy]

Every day is becoming crazier.

 

[MassWineGuy]

It’s definitely not as enjoyable as it once was. All kidding aside, can you anticipate anything good about peak this year? For me, late freight, lack of vehicles, staff shortage and the overwhelming volume of a.m. freight in the mid day flight makes me a bit pessimistic.
