[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1104518, member: 43436"] laffter, A local business receives a daily bulk shipment totaling anywhere from a couple hundred packages to over a thousand. The packages arrive buried in what's typically the last set of trailers to arrive into our building, usually around 7:30AM, and the loader typically doesn't see them until around 8:00AM. At that point, he/she needs to scan each package, load it onto a pallet, shrink wrap the pallet and use a pallet jack to move it into place on the trailer its loaded onto. The person is also responsible for loading one mall van (in addition to other stops on the trailer), and if there's a break in the flow early on, has to work in the unload briefly (and it's a 10-minute walk round-trip from his/her area to the unload). Management demands the area be wrapped up within 3.5 hours, regardless of what time the crux of the volume arrived or how many packages there are. In the 13 years I've worked here, there's been over a hundred, and probably over a couple hundred, people (myself included) who've loaded the area. Most quit within days, management will move others within weeks. Despite constant threats, intimidation & harassment, nobody's been fired. I guess it's easier to pretend a problem doesn't exist rather than fixing it. [/QUOTE]
