I wish they would let us work this Sunday.
Its Friday morning, on the busiest day of the year, and I only have 9 hours left. Every driver in our building is low on hours, and we are bringing back hundreds of missed stops every day. I am going to be bringing back at least 4 hours worth of work tonight, which will simply be crammed in over the top of a hopeless dispatch on Monday, which will get rolled and then crammed in over the top of a hopeless dispatch on Christmas Eve.
I dont mind the hours, or the working conditions, or the hectic pace and confusion of peak. I have been doing this for 27 years, and I have no problem with working 60 hours a week in December. What I do have a problem with....is working 60 hours and bringing 5 hours of missed work back because some IDIOT completely failed to come up with a workable plan. This is by far the worst and most incompetently planned peak I have seen in over 20 years. not only will I be working 14 hours on Christmas Eve, but I will be forced to decide who gets their packages and who doesnt when I run out of time and still have work left.
