[QUOTE="Justaloader, post: 4601249, member: 77989"] In my center, we're already exceeding levels that we saw during peak last year. This year, I think we won't see a massive influx of volume - as folks are already home and doing pretty much all their shopping online (or so it seems). Typically it's slow during this time of year, and then come peak we get destroyed. This year, I think / hope the only thing that will change, is the amount of staff we have on hand. During peak, we typically have 250-300 people working the twilight sort. Right now? We're running with about 150 people....and we're averaging 90,000 packages a night in a hub designed to handle 70k max. Some days we see north of 140k. It's insane. The tough part is they are killing the people they depend on as most of the crews there now are "normal" people, not seasonals. The most common thing said around the hub by most of the experienced folk is "if this crap doesn't stop soon, I'm done. This getting kicked in the nuts every single night stuff is getting old....fast". I'm starting to lean that way myself, sadly. [/QUOTE]
