[QUOTE="Whither, post: 4060619, member: 76643"] Thanks. I know re: the 6:1 ratio, also that if I succeed as a seasonal and [I]manage to[/I] [I]get[/I] a permanent offer that I'd likely start as a 22.4 on the lower tier. But with seniority I could try and bid out of 22.4 into RPCD, right? And the contract stipulates, 1 22.4 for every 4 or 5 RPCDs? Currently I'm forced to work every other weekend, and even with ~10 hours OT and bonus for no mis-deliveries, the most I gross hovers around $19/hr. HR told me UPS seasonals now fetch $21/hr. Trying to avoid the normal PT warehouse route, if at all possible: I'd have to make some tough decisions to pull it off. If I get this seasonal offer I won't burn bridges with Amazon since I might have to return. HR made it very clear that there are no guarantees. On the positive side, this center is very short-staffed in PC, e.g., 20-plus drivers short. Once again you make sound points re: the trades. Unless the economy crashes and burns very soon, I still could go that route ... my eligibility letters are good for 2 years. That's basically my decision-window. I'm not getting any younger, ha.
