If you enter a lunch but do not take it, I think you should be fired for dishonesty. MHO
My kids events are more important than me taking a lunch. Sometimes I have to work through the lunch so I can be there for my kids.
You can't get those times back.

Its on UPSers in MYworkplace under local PCMs
I guess the $9900 dollars you give up every year by working through your lunch helps your kids.My kids events are more important than me taking a lunch. Sometimes I have to work through the lunch so I can be there for my kids.

I resent people telling me what I should do on my personal time.
I should be able to do whatever I want to on my lunch period ... my opinion is that you and the Teamsters and the government are fascists for trying to tell me what I do on my own time.
This is really getting ridiculous already! National negotiating committee take note. In those states where a lunch is required I quess they would be out of luck. But everywhere else compensate us for what we don't take. If we take our full hour fine. If we choose to take any increment of, pay us for the rest. Can this issue be collectively bargained? Anyone have any insight on this? I have addressed this issue before negotiations begin for every contract. Would love to know if it's plausible already.
WRONG WRONG WRONG I can promise you UPS will throw you under the bus if you have an accident.A good lawyer can prove by not taking a lunch and working 8 9 10 hrs your reflexes were diminished . If a love one of yours was killed because a semi driver drove for 12 hrs straight and their ability to monitor a situation was reduced you would sue.You need to stop during the day and rest. I can say going at a pace you are going you will NOT finish the race.DO NOT WORK THROUGH YOUR LUNCH IT WILL COME BACK AND BITE YOU AND PROBABLY COST YOU YOUR JOB
That is such a weak excuse.
Your kids events aren't more important than anybody elses kids events.
Hell, quit and go on wellfare, you'll make all the events then if you can afford their activities.
To falsify records and run a route into the ground, disreguarding methods, skipping lunch and breaks, working off the clock in the AM, etc. does nothing but a disservice to your co-workers who do the job as prescribed.
We all knew what the hours were when we became drivers, now you want to have your cake and eat it too.
My Dad worked in a factory and couldn't make all of my games.
My best friends Dad had a white collar job and traveled, so he didn't make all our games either.
That's life.
We should all take our full array of personal time and plan our lives accordingly.
Many a good man and woman fought for the priviledge.
We all see it every day, it's not the exception where a guy runs his lunch for a special occasion, rather the same selfish group day in and day out.
All on the guise of "I'm doing it for my family".
I call B.S.
For those of you that do care about your family ( in California ), have you ever used Kin Care or The Family-School Partnership Act? So many driver don't know about these laws. I posted the info on LagunaBrown.com so with your FHP's and personal days you can be there for your kids as much as possible. It's called work life balance if you don't take the time to research don't complain.
That's right I am selfish when it comes to my family
I do follow my methods. I'm not out there speeding, or have the bulkhead door open
I pick up my walk pace, don't talk to customers that much and make it happen
Customers understand that and they are impressed that I care for my family to do it. They know to have the pick-ups ready and if they are not they will ship it out tomorrow
It's not like I do it everyday. I do miss ball games a lot
Im talking like one time events like concerts and performances
I do record a lunch like quick phone calls and quick bites to eat Just don't take the whole hour at a time
So I really don't care what you think
I think you are full of B.S.
Effectuating? You're getting to be as bad as k-mart with the big words.
We all start out as runners and figure it out if we want to make it through the long hall.If that is truly who you are and how you roll, I take it back with an apology.
I don't begrudge you for effectuating an early out on "special occasions".
I would think that two 8hr requests available per month would make these "occasions" few and far between.
My message was more intended for the dialy offenders.
We all know who they are.
Anybody reading this has names flying through their heads right now.
We watch them run in to see their numbers every morning.
Truth be known, I used to be one of them when I was young and dumb.
When called on it, it's always the same lame excuses/reasons.
Drawing on my own experience, it was more often selfish, reckless indulgence vs. sacrifice for family.
That is such a weak excuse.
