Peak 2016

[DriveInDriveOut]

All these Saturdays you speak of will the part time preload get time and a half for coming in on Saturdays to load our trucks. Our building already has an attendance issue can't imagine these kids coming in on a Saturday if not for time and a half.

6th punch is always OT in the South.

I was just told that this week's forecast won't be too bad this week with all the extra seasonals starting. I might even get a day off. Stuff will hit the fan big time a week from now.

Not a great start for a seasonal with a snowstorm for some.

60 hours in 7 days is 60 hours in 7 days.
We are entitled to 8 hours pay even if we only have 1 DOT hour left.
And if they make us work as helpers to get our 8 thats OK too, because that still counts as on duty hours and will simply run us out of hours that much sooner in a few days.
I work 60 a week starting right after Thanksgiving. Always have, always will.

So you hit 60 hours Friday night you can still be a helper on Saturday until say 22:00. Your hours will reset at 8:00 am Monday.

Glad to see that some folks are busy. We're still taking mandatory 20 minute breaks at FedEx for lack of volume.

Light? Huh. Each day we get closer. We have another area on. Next week all the vacations will be back. Today we have some areas in 4-10 inches of snow. Tomorrow will be huge

I'm guessing as a seasonal, and with my schedule normally including saturdays, I can expect to work christmas eve? I was only checking because my other job is having a christmas party Friday and I wanted to show everyone how it's done.

Placid got 16".

It may have been lighter as they put all of our routes on.

One of my very first Peaks I went to a Christmas party the night before Christmas Eve. Not the smartest thing I have ever done.

Do you still participate in the daily conference call when on vacation?

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Yes----they have no idea that I am sitting in my recliner wearing only tightie whities.

Some of you in the Midwest should prepare to get slammed. I picked up 5 parcels today from the farmer's feed mill today.

Just punched out at 1055pm. 14 hour day. Feel like taking a picture of my sphincter and sending it to my PDS.
