Should Upstate Bid a 22.3 Job? (On Topic--please)

[Big Arrow Down...D]

If you can financially afford it take it. I was in same situation a couple of years ago and have not regretted it. The wear and tear you save on your body will be worth it. Glad luck

Glad luck to you...

It's hard to take a 20k pay cut

Glad luck making ends meet with that.

I could do it but my 401k and Roth IRA wouldn't get much money added to it. Plus cheap beer doesn't work for me.

No. Step aside. There is another generation of workers that needs that position.

Be a great part time job for a young family starting out trying to make ends meet.

They don't want to hire anybody. It's cheaper to pay overtime.

Would it give you more time to post on BC?

$5/hr * 2000 hours would be $10K.

I average about 7 hours of OT.

2080 hours of work in a year without OT.

It depends on your attitude. If you can work safe and go slow under pressure you will do fine.
If you bring your runner gunner i have to do my best at the expense of my body you wont make it. Preload will kill you.
Ups expects just as much work out of preload and air driving as a regular driver. Its up to you to make the job easy. I would stay where you are and try to slow down.

22.3 jobs are supposed to be 8 hours only-----no OT.

Yes, someone who works a lot of OT (more than 1 hour per day) would take a much more dramatic pay cut than someone who doesn't and should think twice before accepting a 22.3 bid.

It's a good option for someone who needs a year or two of pension credits before they retire.

Yes.

Then do it is my advice.
As a person who has recently been down that path and experiencing the physical downside in retirement, I believe anything that takes stress off your body and mind in the 50's makes so much difference later on!

 

[irregwarrior]

you should take it.

Twirling in your chair stressful?
