What do ya think Poop......should I try to leg it out and stick around for the festivities til then, or depending on which way the wind is blowing tomorrow tell them I'm DONE and toss the uniforms into the grill to get it properly preheated for a celebratory feast?
I don't think I want to even continue doing it for $20,000 more. LOLWell, actually wages in the USA have been rising faster than ours for years on a percentage basis..
We may be used to less than a dollar an hour increases, but it is time to wake up. 5% wage increases have been the norm outside of UPS for a decade.
Wages in the United States increased 9.16 percent in December of 2021 over the same month in the previous year.
United States Wages and Salaries Growth - February 2022 Data - 1960-2021 Historical
Wages in the United States increased 9.16 percent in December of 2021 over the same month in the previous year. Wage Growth in the United States averaged 6.16 percent from 1960 until 2021, reaching an all time high of 15.31 percent in April of 2021 and a record low of -5.88 percent in March of...tradingeconomics.com
$39.67+ .76 June 2022+$1 August= $41.43 at contract time.
Dollar yearly increases would yield:
$42.43 2023; $43.43 2024...$47.43 in 2018
Inflation is currently running at 8%-9.5%
EVEN at 5% inflation $41.43 in 2022 should increase to $55.52 in 2018
$47.43 vs $55.52.
A difference of $8 an hour in buying power. $20,000 less a year. Would you do this job for $20k less per year than you make now?
Yes strike if need be. Asking a company whose profits have far outweighed inflation to simply keep up with inflation should be a min starting point.
I can see why guys in your position stick around after theyre able to walk away. Its like watching an amateur circus show. Hard to watch, but youre kinda secretly hoping to see the lion bite the guys head off.What do ya think Poop......should I try to leg it out and stick around for the festivities til then, or depending on which way the wind is blowing tomorrow tell them I'm DONE and toss the uniforms into the grill to get it properly preheated for a celebratory feast?
I'm not one and never have been the type to plan and set dates, pretty much wake up each day and take it from there. And lately when I wake up and get ready I'm at the point where I stand there for a minute or two before leaving my place and think to myself to tell them find someone else to do it.
I'm not killing myself though and needing to work everyday, nor working whacked out late hours all the time.....unless I feel like hammering the kids for the sake of it. Heck, between taking some regular vacation time and then just taking unpaid days I think I may have worked 2-3 weeks combined at most so far this year.
Ahhhhhhh.........the oh so difficult and tough life choices of a professional slacker!!!!
The vast majority of new part timers are temporary employees. They have no stake in the company. Very few will still be Teamsters in a year. The long term part timers should be compensated well.
I have been on Brown Cafe 2 years longer than you. And in reality I joined 10 years prior to that under a prior name but had to change it because some of my posts management didn't care for...Give aabout pt or new hires? @35years, first time I seen your name here, never spoke to you.
Sounds like you give no
Where did you start 35 years ago?
You're a piece of work.
Maintain our current standard of living even though upper management and stockholders have seen huge increases.
You want your current standard of living don't retire, POS you are.
My opinion.
They may not leave so quickly if they were paid better and not treated like second class citizens by management and driver's.
Nothing tuff about me, just mouthy.
So pay the ones that stay top wage. Simple solution
So some sort of progression? Like top rate in 4 years?
Then the pandemic said... "Hold my beer"I thought 22.4s would eliminate unwanted OT?
Who do you think you are? @FuturePay me $25 an hour let me work 4 days a week
Tell him the truth, tell him you suckWhen my boss asks me why I ran over 2 hours everyday I say staffing shortage
This is what I would do. Have an actual top rate for PT employees and progression.
