My center does bonus.
I’m a cover. Since I’m lowest seniority cover my work week has been averaging 3 days. On those days I had been ignoring the plan and eating up every bit of my 9.5 to maximize my pay. They caught on pretty quick.
This got me a performance ride with a sup.
Something about you’re not scratching blah blah blah. mother I can bonus everyday if I so choose but every time I start that bonus
you guys screw me over with work days. Plenty of times I could have covered a route with 150 stops for the day and instead they split that
up and throw on the extra work on two or three other drivers. So yeah I don’t care about bonus and every time you work me I’m going to get as many hours in as possible.
I have other income but my “FT” position with PT hours ain’t cutting it.
So I bonused my performance ride and everyday I’ve worked thereafter. Just to get off their stupid list.
This week they gave me 1 day lol. Not looking too promising tomorrow or Saturday. Got offered the reload shift twice in the past and both times showed up only to leave as they either didn’t know I was coming or didn’t need me. Well the last time my sup said “how about reload?” I hung up the phone.
I was showing up in my Browns as suggested by others everyday and only 1 out of 30 times did they give me something to do. It’s a 30 minute drive to the hub my car isn’t that great on gas and with limited hours my budget for fuel ain’t that high.
Seems if I metaphorically tell em to blow me and do what I want on route slowly they give me more work. The more I bonus the less work I’ve been getting.
As far as teamwork goes, my whole hub is good about it and we all help each other. With the bonus, if you’re already bonusing your route for the day and they send you to help someone else that just adds to your time and money in your pocket. Overall my center sups are pretty cool. Can’t speak for the other centers too much.
