[QUOTE="!Retired!, post: 2791863, member: 24309"] While you can vent your personal problems to your manager, he/she has no control over your hourly rate. I was told, and learned the hard way, a LONG time ago not to count on all the OT I was getting at the time. Don't count on more than 17.5 for PT and 35 for FT couriers. If you can't live with those hours, either get a 2nd income or find another job. That job comes with its own set of problems. Take a stroll over to the UPS part of this forum and you'll see its not always greener on the other side. If you think money will solve all your problems, well I don't know what to tell you except that you're mistaken. We get all oncalls called in before 1400. I'm just guessing at the number, but I'll bet 75% of our routes can get 10-15 stops each and still not get 8 hours. At our meeting, the question of 'My managers actions matches his/her words' came up. One courier mentioned there's no money for uniforms. How the hell does that comment have anything to do with that question? [/QUOTE]
