[QUOTE="John19841, post: 317901, member: 10939"] I (along with other 2 bottom seniority drivers) have been told we will be laid off next week. They said we can take the week, or work the preload. I don't really understand how they can know in advance this week that there will be layoffs, but every other week they don't know that they'll not need me until 10 minutes before start time. I guess, "it is what it is" as they love to say. I'm just wondering how long this little drop in volume lasts, as everyone here seems to think this is normal? I'm concluding that it happens at this time every year then. Hopefully some more senior people can clue me in to how long this lasts. I was seasonal last year, started in June, and did not work only two days from then until September, so I'm counting down the days until June so I can actually work a full week every week. Anyway, they said we could work the preload, but that's really it. No other work for us. I said, what's the point. I can stay home, file unemployment and get just as much without lifting a finger. (I know, gen X,Y,Z, etc. thing from other post here...laziness) Sup said that's what he'd suggest. So anyways, enough of my ramblings, it's the end of a Friday night (err...Saturday morning) and after a little bit to drink I'm off to bed. [/QUOTE]
