[QUOTE="coolerguy, post: 647297, member: 19284"] I was wondering how is everyones peak season going as far as volume and hours etc. We were told at our hub center about a month before peak that double shifting would start soon and still have yet to see any this whole year. I know times are bad, but give us something for the holidays, besides a turkey gift card we'll probably not even see this year as well. I try not to let it bother me too much, at least I still have a job. Sunday sort: Nope. Too many people signed up this year, apparently over 700 people sign up for it this year. So they went by senority, which is messed up but in a way still fair. But then the following sunday, only day sorters and full timers? come on! So no double shifting, even for peak season, and no sunday. So really no extra money for any hourly or employee thats been at ups three years or less. I've been here almost two and a half going on three in july, and this is the worst i've seen the company treat their employess. Again i'm still thankful I have a job, but its getting ridiculous. Volume. It's not like the volume isn't there, we're getting 180+ a night since the first day of peak season, and being on the night sort we are getting some what good hours, but really not enough as we could be getting. It just seems UPS wants to cut back and save as much money as they can, and pay the higher paid employees before the smaller ones. But anyway, I hope this isn't happening to every hub, I have to see everyone's holidays fall apart just 'cause the so called volume isn't there. Wish everyone a great holiday. God bless. [/QUOTE]
