[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 470947, member: 4653"] HEFF, I have notice the same trend. I also had 2 air meet points on X-MAS eve and that was a killer, no? We were shuttled out air packages at 1645-1700 on X-MAS eve. and that really hurt me. I had worked 9 other X-MAS eve's and was always done by 1500. I had a bad Christmas eve. I was done at 1600 but a driver-helper team near me still had 150 left at 1600! I took 70 stops that would have been on my route if it were April, lol. I finished at about 1830 and asked to code 5 (to not get docked the 1 hour for lunch). The response was "why didn't you get a chance for lunch since you had no pick-ups" I couldn't believe it. Christmas eve was always "code 5" so we could get home. Why not this year? I can't believe I was threatned to be forced to sit doing nothing from 1830-1930 on Christmas eve. It wasn't the case, I was approved for a code 5 but I can't believe I had to ask! The question I recieved at first "Why didn't you get a chance for lunch" made me sick! Its just a manager seeking 1 hour of free labor from 50 drivers. What other scenario would there be to demand a 1 hour lunch from the drivers? He knew everyone would work through their lunch just to get home. Thats 50 drivers skipping their lunch on Christmas eve. Our center manager must have been drooling at the cost savings! [/QUOTE]
