Seriously? You got up, browned up, drove to work.... all for 1.75 hours of pay?
I would have milked it to 2 full hours!

I went to work, then got to go home. 11 minutes short of my 60 hours earns privileges I guess.
If he had a pair, he would demand 8
I woulda demanded 2!
Now you know how your wife feels.
You sound like one of the smart ones. Also the more employees, the better it is for everybodies pension plan.

45 minutes of that was waiting for the shuttle, loading all 13 of those packages, trying to download EDD only to be told that we would have to run them "old school".

Why didn't you volunteer to combine more work on your route so guys with kids could be home? I mean you always say how you had nothing planned and would work all day if need be.
Why not step up and take 30 or40 more stops so a few guys can go home to their families?
You could of been a hero and still caught your movie later. With your runner gunning skills, you'd make it happen.
And you would of made it better for those other guys.

My son worked this Saturday. Had about 30 stops and managed to squeeze out 3 hours of OT. Unfortunately he is at starting rate.

Was he paid air rate for the day?

No air rate. $28.15/hr. OT rate for first year FT package car driver. Regular rate is $18.75/hr. Over all he had a good first peak as a driver. Had a rental but also had a helper. Said he would rather keep the rental and lose the helper until the first day he had to run 200 stops by himself.

Start time 10am, Leave building time over an hour later, two pods to drop off golf cart helper stuff to. Started running my actual route around 12:30. Finished running my route around 5, 60ish stops. Went back to pick up golf cart DIADs, ran a few misloads along the way. Ran one last one nowhere near me, clocked out 6:00, just in time to grab a couple McDoubles before they closed up at 7:00.
Wife and kids are at the annual Christmas Eve party, hosted by friends of the in-laws. Working Christmas Eve has always been the case, the family is used to this lifestyle.
I've said it before, working here isn't a job, it's a lifestyle. Hopefully you have a family that understands and accepts it, regardless if Christmas Eve falls on a Saturday or not.
For those that didn't work today, I totally respect your decision, as you'd be hard pressed to find a UPSer who's been here for any length of time that would call out any other Christmas Eve outside of Sat-Sun.
