Been a wierd couple of weeks for me...with all of the seasonals and new drivers I've only worked 2 days since last Monday. Up until a month ago I was dead last in senority. Had some light weeks earlier this year but had only 2 or 3 days off total from June til last week.
All of the sudden there's 8 guys on layoff and I've been on the list everyday. I know the shi* is about to hit the fan next week, and I'm not even remotely worried about missing a couple weeks pay right now, but it feels wierd to brown up show up only to go home. I'm not afriad to stick up for myself but I hate the whole process of negotiating my workday with peers who are only looking to take advantage of my low senority and get themselves an easy day. So I've just kind of avoided that process completely and let the chips fall where they may. It's worked just fine up until this point, but I'm learning that you kind of have to take things into your own hands if you want to progress around here.
