That’s the problem with cutting expenses the last few days of a quarter it just increases expenses the next quarter so you have to cut again. Idiots

Or towing trucks back to the building because they ran out of fuel, like during Christmas?

Step over a dollar to pick up a dime. The ups way.

Drivers are now being encouraged to bring empty milk jugs and lengths of garden hose from home so that they can scavenge for fuel out on route.

That brings back memories of my siphoning days as a teenager. I couldn't afford the 25 cent a gallon gas to run my car.

So Monday would be a good day to call off?

Good question, depends if they adjust the dispatch and if deals are made for Tue-Saturday guys to come in Monday instead of this Saturday.

We don't have enough package cars to put in the road to accommodate all of those extra routes on a Monday. All the spares are red tagged or don't have any fuel.

It was first mentioned to us by our BA....reached out to our center manager for verification and he said that yes it was the plan but after 40+ minutes of discussion on a conference call that it was shelved cause of all the logistical implications.

I guess we wait and see. Lol

I wonder if the "ORION Teams" are still out there selling their snake oil while we are barring drivers from getting gas until Monday?

One of the center managers in our building was calling drivers.

Who knows

 

[Underallowed306]

Yes, you know, the ones that pay the bills.

UPS
United Parcel Shareholders

“No Fuel Friday” at UPS...the grim reality.

 

[old levi's]

View attachment 241735 View attachment 241736 We can piss away a billion dollars on a useless ORION system but we are so desperate to retain the illusion of profitibility on the quarterly financial report that we cannot put fuel in the cars on Friday, and we screw our customers over by closing the Customer Counter 5 hours early and on Saturday.
UPS used to be a company you could take pride in working for.
Now its a joke.

You can go ahead and retire, or lose your mind...

What say you?
