Official Hours Slaved to UPS Thread

[Jones]

Down to see everyone’s total at end of 2021. I’ve never seen so many 8hr dispatches during peak.

Carol's really taking care of you guys.

 

[Dear Diary]

Too many carried out threats had been dismissed as sarcasm or jokes in the past. There’s nothing in the first quote or the wider conversational context that indicated you weren’t being serious.

Up your comedy game if saying that kind of sick stuff tickles your pickle so we know to play along.

Calling UPS dear leader, calling work slavery... must be serious business going on here

Music to my ears if so.

Does no one here understand sarcasm besides the fake mod?

The fake mod will bounce you outta here so fast you'll forget what county you're in

I miss having January raises.

 

[barnyard]

I was paid for 2400 hours. I am fine with that. The unpaid lunches are what are irritating. I would rather go home earlier than sit around, unpaid. That is the real slave time.

So you averaged over 60 hours a week,

The 401k number is what matters most!

Yes I did. I put 8k into my 401k, and gross 80k at the bottom of the pay scale. 22.4 driver.

Part time preloader.

Double and triple shifted my way through the second half of the year.
No DOT hours rules.

 

[1BROWNWRENCH]

2227. I was also alone for 5 months in a shop that should have had at least another 2 mechanics.

 

[textat3]

2640...about a 10% increase from last year. I try to beat every year. I am here to make $$$. I like about a 6k bump every year, which is a 3k bump after inflation. I will beat my goal for next year. I promise you that. I want to start January strong at 10k...that is my goal.

Go back to package.
No required unpaid lunch, but feeders have to take it.

When they brag about getting a few more cents per hour than package, I remind them I get paid for every minute, unlike feeders. I am at work 9 hours, I am paid for 9 hours, feeder is paid 8 hrs and 20 minutes.

40 minutes of OT pay a day...equals 1 hour of strait time pay every day. My time is money.

Then they brag how much easier feeders is...I remind them on my gravy route I move a total of 110 boxes a day...90 % under 10 lbs.

And I get 8 hr requests, dead days whenever I want, no night shifts, no smelly co-pilot, no weekend work, and I get all the vacation weeks I choose.

Switch to feeders...not.

 

[barnyard]

Go back to package.

I have a bid route and only cover feeder runs at peak and during vacations. In package, we are required to take our 20 minutes of paid break and 10 minutes of unpaid. In feeders, if there is 60 minutes scheduled for break and meal, I take it. If not, I take my 20 minutes of break and 11-20 minutes of meal and am done with it.

We called their bluff on that 10 minutes "required" unpaid in package here. Just don't take it. They may complain. Wait for the warning letter (that will never happen) to start taking it again.

 

[Two Tokes]

My contribution to dear leader this year was 2261 hours worked. How many hours of your life did you sacrifice to UPS this year?

A little over 3,000, made almost 130
Enjoyed the extra $$$ but not something I would want to do every year
Should be a good tax refund as well because I did not take Dave's Advice and adjust my W4

 

[bottomups]

How many clowns came in an hour or so early to massage their truck in the morning off the clock. Don't forget to add those hours.
