Peak Fail 2.0 Has Made Headlines

[MethodsMan]

It's not here. Punched out and gone by 1815.

You should've been a team player and helped some of your loop brothers.

 

[MethodsMan]

Yes. Christmas is on a Friday which means we would all have plenty of hours to work on Sunday.

I asked my center manager about it this morning and he also feels that we will be on road that day.

Sounds like you're volunteering.

Helped all afternoon after finishing my post offices. 12 cars were still on road at 1800. When I left the building at 1900, only 2-3 cars on road and they were on their way back. We have been working Sundays to stay ahead. Most guys had 170-200 today versus 300+ of last week. We have rolled 0 volume since last week.

I'm on my 27th peak. Never worked a Saturday or a Sunday.

I'm on my 27th peak. Never worked a Saturday or a Sunday.

Required for almost all of my center, next sunday (20th) is required for all.

 

[jaker]

Wow you guys are lucky , I have been punching out around 830 every night this week

 

[Jones]

for real, bruh?

For real. HOS regs limit how many hours you can drive a commercial vehicle, but I've never heard of a law that limits how many hours you can work period.

Yeah they might leave the golf course at 4. No way are they in the office past noon

Those guys never unplug. They didn't get to where they are by playing 18 holes on a Thursday afternoon. I know my buddy's dad who was CFO of an aerospace company about 1/5th the size of us who would have to leave in the middle of vacations because of work issues. Our leadership is no different.

One night everything electronic went down in our building. Our servers crashed so we couldn't connect to timecards, do dispatch, upload or download DIADs, do address corrections, even scan a package with a GSS scanner. I ended up on a conference call with the District IT guy, A programmer in India, and the Chief Information officer at 3 AM. Guy was in bed when he was paged in. They may not be doing the physical jobs that you guys do. But they do work.

The Access Points are ticking alot of customers off.

I hear this constantly on here. But two months into access points here and I have yet to have a concern come in on one.

Most of the customers don't want it.

 

[FrigidFTSup]

Most of the customers don't want it.

I'm not seeing anything to confirm that they like it or that they hate it. I'm not even kidding when I say not 1 concern has come in on it.

The customers I talk to are ticked about it.

 

[FrigidFTSup]

The customers I talk to are ticked about it.

The only complaints I hear are from drivers ticked because they have more packages to bring to the clerk.

And the clerks because they're going through labels like you through beer.

They were either done or close to being done.

If the work is offered? Yes, I will work to take the edge off of Monday.

 

[Whatusay]

How about working Christmas Day.

 

[Wally]

They know the numbers. Why doesn't the company cap volume? Charge more to these big shippers that want to guarantee shipment and lock in contracts. The extra revenue allowing the company to train extra drivers and rentals, etc.

 

[Richard Harrow]

NBC News this morning said we're struggling to keep up with volume. That we typically deliver on time 97% of the time, but we're at 91% since start of peak.

NBC news should interview customers at the UPS facility asking where is the medicine? 91% will be more like 12% one time

Oh I know. Had a friend get divorced over this issue.


Basically told his wife my job is more important. She said have fun becoming CEO but dying old and alone.
