With peak coming, we all know the new hires and wannabe hires will be coming in droves.

Help me in my decision.

Tis the season for a gazillion repetitive questions and phenom workers who work better than anyone else. At least I can take a break now and let the hard-charging jumpers and drivers do their thing!

If you can't handle some random person blasting you for not using the search tool, it's going to be a hard 2 months with 90% of drivers.

 

[FrigidFTSup]

HR told me I was for sure going to get a FT spot after peak is over. How long until I get 9 weeks of vacation and the best bid route in the building? 6 months or so?

 

[HxC MADxMAN]

Other than repetitive questions, what are the annoying things seasonal drivers do?

I'm seasonal driving and want to make extra sure to step (stomp) on everyone's toes.

I tell them my handcart is out of order as I hand them over 70lbs to walk 100 yard driveways.

If you have a newbie you don't need to waste your time messing with the handcart. He is your pack animal.

I would think that as a retiree your decision would be a fairly easy one to make----"don't care".

 

[upschuck]

I think you should switch it up, keep them on their toes.

Really, I don't. Hence, my proclivity to 'jump all over them.'

Did you vote?

Went to orientation yesterday for my 3rd season as a helper. This year's group seemed extra special...

Enjoy.

"Don't care" was not an option.

"Don't care" was not an option.

So this means you will not answer any newbie threads this year?




You know you can't resist to impart all your knowledge, Dave.

Perfect. Thank you internet stranger who would never lie to me.

Since Im a mechanic Im going to mess with the regular drivers. I'll do every dumb thing the seasonal driver asks and write "parts on order" for every regular driver. You know, change things up a bit. When the seasonal driver wants new tires when his tires are 15/32", he's going to get new tires. When the regular drivers want new tires, when his tires are 5/32", I'll write, "tires legal, ok to drive." So when you see the seasonal driver rolling out with the new tires, shiny rims, and heat so hot he has the windows open, I might just be your mechanic.
