How many do they usually run on Saturday (outside of Peak)?
OrionsBitch
Not...
Who's pain? Last time I checked management stills clocks out at 3 and heads home. I'd rather get boned one day (Monday) instead of being boned three days (Friday, Saturday, Monday)

Don't forget to bring your browns...I'll be calling off.

corporate has issued ZERO guidance this peak
everything is, for better or worse, at the cleverness of your district planning team
you'll be working every saturday, up to DOT this first one, maybe the rest the same if you're in a screwed center
i've already been in browns twice and it's not even thanksgiving yet, and basically every department is being stripped clean for ready teams
not good signs this early on

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
Actually i can't say it has. Now we are picking up tons of packages on Friday that wouldn't have been picked up til Monday

Kill me now
They're asking for volunteers this Saturday but no word about being forced, besides the regular Saturday drivers.

Mostly, it is designed to alleviate the customer's pain. As in the past in 2013 when the week after Thanksgiving was as heavy as peak week in many places and packages rolled all week.
Also your statement is functionally false. No ft management clocks out at 3. Or any other time. There is no clock.

Exactly! And on Cyber Monday we pickup tons more. This is what swamped our Network in 2013 sooner than expected and would up rolling packages all that week. Ad in some bad weather and some places never fully recovered. Which is why 2014 started the full day work day on Black Friday - get that volume moving one day earlier rather than slamming it all in on Monday.
They should be required to pay her a clock, especially with many of them in the road during peak.

"Functionally false".....you sound like a whiny little ass kisser. Let me correct myself. Management chooses to ignore their job guidelines and they leave to choose their job around 3 every day even when they are supposed to stay until the last driver is in. Better?

drivers say management go home too early, ops sups say IE goes home too early, then IE says drivers go home too early and raise their SPC
it's the circle of life

There is a dispatch sup at our center who brags about only working 33 hours a week.

Our Center alone is running 44 Trips this Saturday. That is the normal 16 Saturday Drivers plus 28 Mon-Fri drivers bottom up being forced to work.
