[QUOTE="JustLookinTwo, post: 633581, member: 26356"] Well, they say he's a part-time unloader on the twilight shift. The HR person told him that he was not part of the seasonal help, but that he will probably get laid off after Christmas and then called back as long as he does a good job. Not sure what all that means, but I suppose it's like any other job. If they like you and you do the work, they'll keep you on if they need you. Our area (like most) is in very bad shape, job wise. Most all of the major employers around here have shut the doors. I can't even believe he was able to land a job in the first place since so many experienced people are out of work, but we are thankful that he did no matter how long it lasts. He's a strong, healthy, young guy. His clothes are wringing wet when he gets home in the morning, so I know he's staying busy. He's the only unloader on his shift, and he's been getting four days a week. Tonight, for instance, some of the "on call" (not sure what's up with that) drivers are going in to unload, so he's supposed to be off. He was told that he would be off all this week, but they've called him in three days already, so I think he's doing alright. Like he says, no one else wants to do his job, so they call him, lol. I'll just let him keep going as he's been doing and not tell him about the rumor that he's got to do each truck in 45 minutes to stay on after peak season. They have been finishing 15 or 20 minutes early every night and he's only getting occasional help if he falls behind, so I think he's managing alright. He said he unloads between three and seven trucks a night, if that gives you any idea of the size of his location. He won't miss any days or be late, and he's always available when they call on short notice, so that's got to count for something, too. Thanks for the wise advice. [/QUOTE]
