Monday, July 31; the perfect storm of stupid.

We are also at max vacations til mid September. Not granting anyone personal days, no coverage, so everyone is just calling out days they need, trips sitting, it's awesome. So dumb.

Edit: on Saturday if someone calls out they just cut that route and add it to the other ten guys. Lol.
No personal days? That needs addressed in your local supplement. That's something we got two contracts ago and management hates it. Lol

It began here in early April and even with no winter conditions to contend with it's just been a complete mess. If you are bumped off your run for Mondays you are stuck on something else completely blind and the load quality combined with ORION is simply set up to fail the driver from the beginning.

One guy was telling me last week that he he'd to go back to each of his first ten deliveries twice because so many packages weren't loaded anywhere near the assigned shelf and floor areas the stuff was PAL'd to. It's just frustrating and stressful. Many new hires simply aren't staying on and the ones that have hung in there often can't carry anything near a full day as it is. The disparity between the dispatches is really becoming a point of contention. If there were a strike vote here tomorrow, somebody selling picket signs would sell his/her inventory out pretty fast.
