[QUOTE="TheFigurehead, post: 1404353, member: 49302"] Yeah, its going to be something. We're what, 90 or so days out? Our hub is already fairly busy, and it's empty. Every inside person they've hired in the last three months has quit, almost immediately (I mean, they are literally hiring 60 year old retirees and frail 100lb 20 year old girls as package handlers, and then wondering why they can't hack it), along with a good number of current employees. If they can't get people in the door for the whole package (benefits after a year, tuition reimbursement, raises, and a permanent job), I don't know how they are going to get anyone in the door to work in the hub for basically nothing. It doesn't help that our local's contract hasn't been settled yet, so new hires are still starting at $8.50/hr. No one is coming in for peak at that rate, especially without some sort of carrot to dangle in front of them. The allure of your seasonal position turning into a full time position in the hub is only appealing until you get them in the door. But hey... if we work Black Friday, that will probably fix everything, right? [/QUOTE]
