[QUOTE="Big Package, post: 2923115, member: 67494"] Yep, they give us 3.5 hours of work, which turns into 5 hours, and depending on how hard everyone works (lol) we get out on time. They take it out on belt workers while we are sitting there with a slow or empty belt waiting on the inefficient new hires to finish unloading. We had 15k pieces the other day (not too terrible) and we worked 2:15 to 10:30. There's no reason for that. A trailer should take 45 minutes, or a 50% irreg/over less than half an hour. It's hard for me to get a grasp on this. I operated a mailing company for ten years and would never have treated some of the people this way or stood for frequent callouts and late shows. I don't want to sound like I'm painting an unnecessarily grim picture of our hub, but it boggles my mind. It's OK maybe 3 days out of the week, and I know Friday and Monday are harder on average, but at least 3 people call out on those days, sometimes 5, worst case 7 or 8. Empty chutes with scanners sitting around with visible bags in trailers is unacceptable. To me anyway I guess. [/QUOTE]
