[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 753083, member: 4653"] See, this is the S- I don't really like when I can't get one summer week after 11 years. Just one week. What gives you the right to get or switch that week if its not senority? I'm fine with not getting 1 summer week out of 10 because of seniority, but I'm not fine if senior drivers are picking summer weeks for junior drivers. Thats not how it should work. Seniority rules but back door deals are bull. I could give two flying flamigos about your poker tournment. Its simply not that important of an event to double-cross your lower senoirty brothers with. Its the same as you could care less that I'm outcast by the in laws because I haven't gone on the family vacation in 11 years. Believe me, I don't expect you to care, but I get pissed when people undermined the system by senior drivers picking weeks for junior drivers because that is a "high" or summer week that the senior driver would have not taken that would be available if not for a deal. However, do you know what? Screw them, lol! If they are mad at me or think less of me because I can't go because of work, then I think UPS is doing me a favor (finally!) in this case. See, my in-laws work normal 9-5 jobs in which they went to college for and can always get the time off. They probably look down on me because I drive a truck and sweat for a living. However, I would still like to spend that time for my woman's sake. This is what I really care about. I don't care about me or my image, but she looks like a total jackass when everyone of her 3 sister's husbands are there except me. They don't understand and its her feelings I'm worried about. I don't care about what I'm left for vacations except for making her happy. If 3 or 4 lower senoirity drivers are getting summer weeks because of a switch then its simply not right. So when I hear about back-door deals with lower seniority drivers getting a week I could use it really gets under my skin. Besides, Its simply not right. Senoirity rules and no junior driver should be on vacation on a week that I wanted or week I could have picked. Lastly, you have the driver who is 'mid-senoirty' crying and asking people not to pick a certain week because he reserved at cottage for a specific week.
