Forced 60+ Hours

[vvv]

I would be the slowest helper ever. I guarantee they would regret it after peak

Why "after peak"? Why not in the coming month??

 

[vvv]

How is it a no call?

You CALL... tell them you are not available for work today.

Don't lie, don't say your sick, don't say your kid is sick, just say I cannot come in to work today.... see u tomorrow.

I do this all the time. I have even called in and straight up told them I'm exhausted and don't feel comfortable operating machinery.

My fav call in I did was the day after I covered a route when the bid driver went home. It was a tropical storm. He had long driveways, didn't wanna work so I had to do it

I called in the next day and told them I wasn't Coming because my shoes were still wet and I was worried about blisters. I was out of option days at this point.

I gave silly excuses years ago but mainly now its kept simple.

"Hey (name), it's (name).....I won't be coming in today for personal reasons.

"You're kidding me, I need you. What is it you have to do?"

"I just told you it's personal".

Call is then terminated by myself and I go enjoy my day.

That only applies to driving.

I was assuming the poster was a driver, my bad

It's all good

Like it or not the work has to get done. Bank the extra money and treat yourself to a nice vacation after peak.

@FrigidFTSup is that you???

If you get your 60 in during the work you would be unable to drive on Saturday; however, you could be used for 10 hours as a helper.

I would personally love to make $50+/hr to be a helper for a day.

How many 60hr works have u worked?

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

How many 60hr works have u worked?

None.

Point?

 

[Faceplanted]

None.

Point?

U talk a big game

Getting out at 1130 for 4 days is grueling. I feel like complete this morn. I couldn't make a 6th day doing any type of work.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

You knew what you signed up for.

 

[Wally]

Can someone point me to the the Article and Section of the Contract that says UPS can force us to work 60 hours and then be forced to be a helper. Thanks.

Hello? Work soooo slow, they will give up.

 

[Faceplanted]

You knew what you signed up for.

Ya.... I signed up to be a driver and work a max 60hr per dot rules

Not to work 60 and come in Saturday to jump for another 12hr.

 

[3 done 3 to go]

Why "after peak"? Why not in the coming month??

Because we don't have any where near enough drivers to begin with. We would run out of hours first. It can't happen.

After meant, they would see how much I made for stupidity

Option days are nice, called from the bait store one morning and had to tell them to hold on as the employee was sloshing water around from the herring tanks as he’s netting bluebacks.

I called in an option day once when I was at a casino in Louisiana, and I had to step out into the parking garage so the dinging and noise from the slot machines wouldn't be heard.

 

[Scottyhawk]

How many 60hr works have u worked?

I am not even breaking 50 this week. Our center’s paid day average this week is under 9

 

[Coldworld]

Yes it does. But should it be mandatory?

I'm not worried about it. I won't have enough hours and I have too much seniority.

But if you want me to be a helper for $53 an hour on a Saturday. I'll do it.

Yeah... you’re going out with me this Saturday to help me lower and raise the landing gears on a few trailers... you need to learn what real hard work is ...

Whatever dude......just make a bold statement and call in sick one day during December. Don't cut them any slack as they don't do nothing special for you/us.

 

[Faceplanted]

Today we officially went on the 70hr rule

Think I care?.... I'll be seeing my managment goons on Monday. Forced Saturday after 64ish hours over 5 days.... hahahahah these people trippin
