Xmas Eve, December 24, 2022. Who's working?

[Wally]

Workers comp don’t pay the bills, lucky I just got 4k in grievance money

Every state pays different. My state is 80 percent-tax free, so it can pay the bills.

 

[vvv]

I take a couple of deads days between Xmas and New Year's
Save the vacation weeks for the hot summer months

Agreed, I do that as well. Plenty of "dead days" here. If you combined all the days I worked this year it might total 3-4 months and that's being generous.
From this past January to July I worked no more than one or two days a week and then took a long vacation.

So would we get double/ possible triple pay + OT that day?

For Christmas Eve? It's a regular Saturday, 6th punch, which just means time and a half. Christmas Eve isn't a Holiday.

I got to watch how many days I take off because it will affect my pension and my next year's vacation

I figured but earlier this year they offered double pay on a Saturday for a holiday that landed on a monday.

The holiday lands on a Sunday but we get Monday off

I seriously don't feel offers any extra money for working Christmas Eve

Understood.

My pension credit is intact which is what's important to me, but there have been some years where I did not put in enough hours to get my last week of vacation paid in full.
I'm just happy to take extra time off, and if I were worried about getting all that paid in full I wouldn't be taking so many unpaid days off to begin with.

Trust me my brother I feel your pain

 

[Wally]

Will Big Carol and her cronies be in the office all day Xmas eve?

 

[I have been lurking]

Calling off Tuesday

You guys are panicking over nothing. The last 3 times 12/24 was a Saturday, less than 1/3 of RPCDs worked and the paid day was under 4 hours. It's better than the 7 hour day we usually run on 12/24.

Anything can happen but history doesn't suggest that it'll be bad. Just pray Louisville doesn't get an ice storm on 12/22 or 23 like in 1994.

I don't trust the Amazon-UPS relationship. UPS could always allow Amazon to dump on us Christmas Eve.

Nope they have limits on that

With a looming recession I wouldn’t worry about heavy volume.

The old days are over. Now days it's click,- next day air it for Saturday. The day will be a cluster.

We were told its just going to be air only. so air drivers, 22.4s and volunteers. Then force from the bottom. I myself will be headed out for vacation. Good luck getting me to come in when I'm hours away.

 

[allahuakbar]

I haven’t worked past 2pm on a Xmas eve in 5 years. I’m staying home this year though. Plenty of pvds and 22.4’s to play Santa.

Vacation starts on Sunday but since the company has no plan you most likely are safe.

I know this. 40 drivers below me not counting the 12 22.4s and 4 air drivers. Pretty sure they won't get up to me. Of course this is assuming they don't change the plan a billion times.
