Laid off?

[UPSER1987]

Don’t be a drama queen, lay offs have been common for decades.

No drama here…I won’t be laid off. Or fired, let go etc…

 

[JL 0513]

....Any clues on when the workload's gonna bother showing up again?

Go look in the Amazon truck, it's in there.

"An" is typically only used immediately preceding a vowel.

"An" is typically only used immediately preceding a vowel.

Great!!! With your "grammatical" correction I now have "Conjunction-Junction what's your function" stuck in my head.

Are we at war?

I can assure you I won’t either and if it’s you or me, it will definitely be you before me.

 

[Red Devil]

I hope they lay me off lol. But last year they missed me by like three names on the list.

Yeah, the little center I work at had a fairly easy peak season this year. Amazon is delivering a lot of their own packages now, so it makes a huge impact on smaller centers especially. Now that peak is over, Amazon can stop funneling a lot of their smalls to us and have their own drivers deliver them. Amazon is in the "driver's seat", so to speak. They get to decide what they deliver and what they push off to UPS, FedEx and USPS.

Like running from the bear......you don't have to outrun the bear, just the other guy.

 

[MattM]

how do daily or weekly guarantees work if one is laid off/your sort has no shift(scheduled off)? This affects one’s retirement hours/pension too

Is it possible to only work one 4 hour shift weekly?

 

[Over70irregs]

After you get laid off.

Fedex stopped the Amazon contract a few years ago. UPS/USPS should have done the same. Now Amazon can deliver their own .

Immediately preceding a vowel sound*

That's a fact.
It's part of the narrative to "dumb us down".

Homie.

Sure, wish they would because I have a whole lot of their stuff on my truck every day.

Volume is scary low. My loop went from 8 routes to 4, and just 3 on Mondays. I am covering such a large area, it’s insane. I’ve got over six years in, I went from the middle of the seniority list to the bottom over night.

Losing customers during the contract negotiations and I think Amazon delivering most of their own crap now is the culprit. I see Amazon vehicles on every other street, sometimes I’ll see an EV and a regular van on the same block.

They want a common "language" going forward.
Something you'd hear in East L.A....Ese!

They already told the lower drivers here they might not be working for a good while

Everyone needs to get on 9.5.
