[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 448615, member: 4653"] Amen! Time with your family and away from UPS is much more valuable than a day's pay. This has always been my opinion even if we worked 40 hours maximum every week. We don't. We work 44 hours minimum in my center except for 2 drivers out of 50. My feeling is if you worked everyday of the year at 8.5-11 hours per day you shouldn't need the day's pay for the 26th. I must say that a few stubborn drivers exist that want to work and want their 8 hours. I can't "fathom" working Dec.26th when its optional NOT to do so:sick:. My feeling is we made enough money throughout the year becuase of the OT we are forced to work. This brings me to another point. UPS drivers should be the best at managing their budgets compared to many other proffessions and I'm not joking. As a UPS driver (or any hourly employee) you set up the budget based on 40 hours/week. If you set your budget with OT in the equation I think you are playing with fire and being stupid! When we are fortunate enough to work over 8 hours/day it gives a lot of breathing room in our spending "part" of the budget, lol! We work too many hours so I must say we all deserve it off! Just take the day if you can! To all the "hours die hards", for heavens sake take the 26th off! You deserve it. We all deserve it. Relax and enjoy yourself but be ready to hump and dump on December 29th! Merry Christmas to everyone at Brown Cafe from "Browniehound". I look forward to hearing from everyone in the new year!
