Yesterday's disaster

[The Driver]

Put in 12 hours yesterday. They sent drivers home while everyone else was brutally slammed. I had lots of missed commercial. Anyone else just shake their heads at how especially bad yesterday was?

Oh well. Can't make their decisions. Today's another day!

Yesterday was rough-----I barely had time for my afternoon nap.

You get paid the same, regardless.
I had hundreds of days like that in 40 years at UPS.
Tomorrow is another day.

And you didn't get 4 hours at time and a half.

 

[Catatonic]

Nope ... but I wound up with millions in stock.
It all evens out.

 

[The Driver]

Seriously? When did that change for us?

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Seriously? When did that change for us?

Anything over 8 is time and a half.

I was in management before I retired ... BM was trying to get a jab in.

My son was telling me both Monday and Wednesday were pretty good days. I am on vaca this week so of course I am getting slammed with extra work.

Today was awful- seems like everything caught up. Route drivers were slammed and they were sending FT cover drivers home. Go figure.

While knowing the reply.

Monday was worse here. Had 17 extra businesses and 41 resis added onto a mall route. Ended up delivering 370+ and picking up over 500. Good times. Wednesday I covered one of the easier routes in the center and was off the clock at 6:30. Too bad it's hot AF here right now.

Monday and Wednesday were pure hell. Today was a lot better.

Monday and Wednesday were pure hell. Today was a lot better.

From what my son told me Monday and Wednesday were okay but today (Thursday) sucked. He blamed it on some conspiracy theory. I have been on vaca, so all my days are heavy.

Is your son a driver?

Somehow the clown that does our dispatching restarted the preload at 5:30 a.m. Monday.

So all of the packages they ran before that were not in our EDD.

We had to old school it. I had 42 stops and 112 packages that weren't listed in my board.

I see the mechanics are still doing their lube jobs with a squirt bottle of WD-40-----from 5 feet away.
