Required to drive on Saturday?

[Eye To Eye Contact.]

If they have no one else available they can force him to work.

If no one then they force from the bottom up till they fill all holes . I've been all apart of that.

Mine is that I will die alone.

You might want to start to do something to prevent that.



Right now.

Dave's been like this his entire life.

Do you think he's gonna change anytime soon?

I have a volunteering obligation this coming Saturday and I am afraid that I am going to be required to work (I now have the lowest seniority).

Tell them you'll log your volunteer hours in UPSes and they'll get all excited.

Good news he is, as long as he stays logged on, which doesn't seem to be a problem when he's not at work.

Did we know each other growing up?

Which is why you are retiring in a yr and a half. Selling out. Moving 3 hours south. To be closer to family. Nothing wrong with that.

My fear is death with an empty truck. I want them to have a nice full one. So I can come haunt them for the day. God willing of course

 

[3 done 3 to go]

My biggest fear is that I will die in bed.

I feel that is the best way. I'm relaxed. Not thinking of work at all. Just sleeping

 

[3 done 3 to go]

my biggest fear is that I WON'T die in bed, ha ha.

That may be the best way to go. One last quickie. Ooooooooooo yeah

Update. On the forum's advice, I spoke with my pre-load supervisor today letting him know of my conflict on Saturday. He said that he is on the hunt for someone to cover me and will let me know. FYI, I let the Saturday supervisor know that I needed this specific day off four weeks ago via text. It is common knowledge that I have this same conflict on a monthly basis (1 weekend a month).

I am fairly new, is it common for people call in "sick" for these concerns? Can management retaliate?

Calling in sick on a Saturday is the last thing that you want to do as it screws everything up.

Can they retaliate? Absolutely.

i would say this statement is in the high 90 percentile of being correct.

i loved my job but couldnt stand the bosses so when i had the choice of making 20 plus dollars an hour to stay home or go to work , it was a no brainer. now i work for myself.

we had ONE good center manager during my career and LP walked him off the property. not sure if he qualified for his management retirement.

Is a stripper considered self employed?

You may have to inform your management team that if they cannot accommodate your abstinence once a month you will have to disqualify yourself from air driving.

Absence--- not showing up.

Abstinence---not getting laid.
