[QUOTE="unloady, post: 4078400, member: 70313"] I hate to break it to you but yes they can make you stay if they choose to do so. Leaving without permission from a supervisor is considered job abandonment and can get you fired. The job is done when it is done you can't just walk off when you feel like it. I'm in the same position as you and work a full time job on top of preload. It can get hectic especially during peak season. My advice is to just talk to your supervisor beforehand and explain your situation. You have 20 years? That means your making around $25 an hour give or take? I'm sure someone in management would love to get you off the clock as soon as possible, volunteer to leave early if they ask. You have lots of seniority. Worst case scenario let your other job know about the situation. I know other employers might not let that slide, I had to go through several other jobs before I found one that was willing to work around my UPS schedule especially during peak. Some times you just have to tough it out for awhile. There were plenty of days where i was working more than 16 hours a day between both jobs. Like a previous poster said, you have a solid pension even at part time and unrivaled healthcare/benefits. Maybe it's time to find a different second job, maximize your hours at ups and use your seniority for extra work while you look for another fulltime job. Either way, I would not jeopardize 20 years of investment for something as simple as clocking out when you feel like it.. [/QUOTE]
