[QUOTE="HotPepperHead72, post: 1022858, member: 43341"] Thank you for your responses! I was expecting the very responses that I have been you've replied with so here are my answers: I have already been offered Saturday driver and declined for all the right reasons. Sometimes it takes someone who can see us from the outside-looking-in to put us into perspective. In this case it's my $120K a year making girlfriend when she very clearly pointed out, "I don't see you on Saturdays anyway because you sleep until the afternoon hours trying to make-up for what was lost during the week. Just how do you plan on coming up with the energy to tack-on a 5th work day?" Well, she's right. I don't have the energy in a day that most people have following the 1100 parcels that I touch daily and we haven't even seen the beginning of Peak yet. Our facility is so small for the volume that we have coming through there. Everyone knows it. It gets brought up in every single Safety Committee meeting that I attend(yes I'm on the Committee too). So to answer your other questions: I don't really know that I want to be starting a driver program ahead of the holiday season peak. Having considered a Management position I've come to the conclusion that I refuse to treat other human beings the way management treat myself and others within our facility. My next question is: If you didn't care to drive in the Bay Area of California and if you don't care to go into Management what else is there of upward mobility? I have been running WorldShip software as a shipper over the last, I dunno, 15 years... which I might add that our few Clerk positions remain very well coveted. Any ideas? [/QUOTE]
