Twilight Christmas Eve

[gatorkev85]

I heard a rumor that we no longer will get Christmas Eve off anymore is there any truth to this? I can't find our calender anywhere. I found something on the ups site and it did not recognize Christmas Eve. I've work Twilight for 11 years and have never worked a Christmas Eve. I never got paid for it but I'm okay with that as long as i still get it off.

Christmas Eve is, and has always been, a layoff day for certain hub shifts. It's not a UPS holiday and will never be recognized as one on a calendar. You will not have to work this Christmas Eve. Kinda early to be worrying about this though, isn't it?

Only reason i worry now is because my wife's family has always celebrated Christmas on Christmas Eve instead of Christmas. I needed to figure something out now in case this was true.

There are no pickups on Christmas Eve hence no need for the Twi shift.

I like to plan ahead but you have taken it to a whole different level.

Sounds like work to me!

We work Christmas Eve on our shift but it's always a dead day

Christmas Eve seems to mean an eleven hour dispatch these days.

When I was part time we always worked a skeleton crew. Since I was on the air belt I always had to work on Christmas eve. I'd say if you haven't had to work it in the past you will not have to work it this year.

My wife's family does also. Sometimes I don't make it. That's life.

Only 11? Lucky.

 

[joeboodog]

Anymore I wouldn't put it past those chuckleheads in cubicleville to make Christmas Eve a regular work day.

 

[Wally]

Only 11? Lucky.

Of course there eleven hour dispatch means 13 hours on the job.

Dude that sucks balls

I worked a barely 8.5 day this last christmas eve. 75% of the drivers were in when I arrived and 5 minutes later only one extended route was out still when I left.

 

[wayfair]

When I got that message I would be slowing down to make sure the work I had lasted.

That is precisely what I did.

Welcome to Brown cafe and thanks for a bit of comedic relief.
