[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 470335, member: 4653"] I haven't seen a layoff yet but we had extremely heavy volume during the first three weeks of January in MA. I mean it was almost like peek! My question was: where the heck did this volume come from? I am currently doing a route that does about 102 stops on average. January 9th I was dispatched with 172 stops. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the dispatch screen! This shocked me because I wouldn't believe that there are 172 dwellings on this route! Apparently there is many more! I think UPS will be OK for a bit because of the DHL volume gain, but if the recession deepens then a lot of shuffling will be happening in the full-time ranks. That being said, thank your lucky stars that you work for UPS! We complain on this forum like its going out of style. Shame on us. We as hourlies will be recieving a wage increase on Feb. 1st. I consider us some of the fortunate few to have a GREAT job and recieve a wage increase in 2009. I think as UPSers we should keep our mouths shut and head down and work as hard as possible. I say this because if I do so I will be making more money than the previous year. That means the recession will affect me almost in no way. I say this because my hours will not be cut. Routes will be cut which means the same stops over more area to everyone. All the crap we talk about UPS is a moot point now! I'm just happy to have one at UPS right now! [/QUOTE]
