Nah
Makes more sense than taking it in the building but it’s also falsifying your time card. I’ve had to sit in plenty of hearings, listening to the company call someone a liar for falsifying their time card working through their lunch.
Not entering it is falsifying it? How does that work?

Sorry, but I don’t care anymore.
Zero chance they get me working off the clock, or working through lunch it’s a fools errand. And don’t even get me started about knuckleheads who take their “lunch” back at the building at the end of the night.
There were drivers that came in a 7am to sort their trucks. Then they had the balls to try and pawn their air on me. This was when I was a cover driver, not even on the list yet, I still told them to go eff themselves. Gotta set the rules early, I wasn’t gonna be treated like a jerk. Lol

Nah
No, they enter it and don’t take it, not entering it is progressive discipline here
Oh. They didn't care here. So some people punched in a lunch and some didn't. I've done both. Some days you're on a roll and stopping for 30 minutes will obliterate your momentum/energy. You just can't get going again after that.

Hour lunch, even worse. It is what it is. I wasn’t giving anything to a company that would screw me over in a minute.

I speak for anyone with common sense and a pair of balls between their legs. Anyone who works off the clock is a :censored2: and should be considered a cancer. Your a :censored2:ing idiot. Zero threat to loosing your job, in my own opinion you and people like yourself would have your face beaten in outside of work.

Your hands would be so sore after beating in 75+ drivers faces.

I mean, I'm not saying you couldn't do it but.... well, no. No, I don't think you could do it.

I don’t know you, you don’t know me. You sound like a good driver that runs his route efficiently. All I will tell you is this, don’t work off the clock. You only hurt yourself in the long run, and anyone that covers your route.

I love when I cover those abominations where the bid driver runs/works for free. Everybody in the loop has to come help me 😂

I 100% respect this kind of comment.

The problem is I'm in a building where this is the culture.

Another problem is I struggle with sitting around doing absolutely nothing for 10-15min while I'm forced to listen to all the small talk from the cliques of drivers that show up at 7am, have their entire truck sorted by 8am and then spend an hour pretending to be in high school again.

some of you guys want the economy to be poor so badly your projecting. Some of you act like we’re in a Great Depression under Biden and things were so much better with trump, when it’s the opposite

American oil production is at an all time high

GDP growth is up 4.9%,

S&P 500 is up 37%

DOW hit all time high

Inflation is below Powell target

It’s January, it always gets slow after peak, ups cuts hours and seasonals get fired, that’s why they’re called seasonal
 
I wish it was like that here but our center manager loves it. Outright said why would I stop them from doing their job for free.

And you just can’t get it through their head it only screws them in the long run.
It makes fake numbers
Nobody wants to see the real problems it's all a dog and pony show here

That's one thing I can honestly say about my Center manager he strongly agrees that people should not be working off the clock.

To be fair, I went on a crusade about my load quality and the preload efforts.

October-November I was in my on-road's ear, in my center manager's ear every single day about how horrendous the loads were.

Got to the point they asked me why I was so angry. I answered because I don't think I should have to come in early and sort before start time just to have a reasonable day. They responded, "No, you shouldn't," and then the next day I thought the situation was worked out and showed up to work to find out I was going out with two trucks and over 500 pieces.

Just a pile of :censored2: in both trucks, man. I call 'em Stevie-Wonder-and-a-shovel loads.

The things I do are in an effort to increase my longevity. If anybody can talk some sense into me about how having easier days makes it more or less likely for me to make pension injury- and incident-free, I'm more than willing to listen.

I'm not in a panic to get home. I'm worried about how I'll react to those incredibly stressful days where every turn you make is accompanied by the sound of an avalanche of cardboard behind your bulkhead.

And the best part? Truly, the best part is that there was a point where I was wittled down to about 150 stops, 250pcs. I thought that was because I was winning the long game and they were adjusting my route, but really? They were taking a few stops from several of my neighborhoods and giving them to our budding SSDs/PVDs to get them used to the job. So yeah, I thought I was killing it and manipulating the route into better numbers, but really it was just a seasonal situation. Lost the seasonals and I'm right back up to 200+ stops, >300pcs on the daily.

Joe Biden is the greatest President since Eisenhower.
