who doesnt want christmas eve, and christmas eve eve and christmas off? when it falls on a saturday.

Me. I need to work that day for personal reasons. Otherwise I will drink myself into oblivion. Not a good day for me.

This will depend upon how much of an impact the weather has on the rest of Peak.

It matters none whatsoever, you just DON'T GO unless you are really starving and so hard up for the dollars. And even then.........haha........forget it.

That was before my time.

It must have been a LONG time ago.

Sure they can offer to allow us to work, but they cannot force us. This is the first year since working with Ups that I've been able to plan an actual Christmas so no matter what, I will be taking Sunday and Monday off

I do every year anyway regardless of what day the Eve & Day fall on.......feels great never to worry about crap like that.

Exactly. At what point do all the companies (USPS included) need to just tell all the entitled brat consumers to friend* off?

Well said. Plan ahead or get your junk late.

I remember last year on Christmas Eve only people with hours available were working Saturday. We were only supposed to be delivering in town only, but of course when I show up I see I have 7 stops all out of town in an area I don't even know! I was already mad about working, then I saw the packages in my truck and they were ALL amazon boxes!

After saying some choice words to my supervisor I got in my truck and left. It was snowing like a mother out of town and my second stop in I got stuck in someone's driveway because our PC's are pieces of crap. After 20 minutes of shoveling and rocking the PC I finally got out. Third to last stop I was driving up these people's icy driveway and their dogs coming running at the PC so I had to stop losing all momentum and ending up sliding down their driveway sideways because I lost all control of the front end of the PC. Luckily I didn't get stuck, so I turned around, threw their 3 stupid amazon boxes in the ditch, ECD'd my remaining stops, and drove back.

No way in hell I am doing that again this year because people order shyt last minute!

Sounds like you need to stay out of customers driveways perhaps. I walk everything off no matter how far it is.

last year on Christmas Eve I walked up to my ORS and said, "by the way, this is officially my 1 year notice that there's now way i'll be coming in Sunday next year Christmas eve."

They kind of laughed because I said it in a joking manner. But then I turned, looked at them, my face went from joking to dead serious, and said "I'm serious, there's no way i'm giving up my Sunday. You can forget it."

Seriously brother.......that shows no balls telling them you are not working a Sunday regardless of the date. C'mon now......that was weak.

One day all you money grubbing UPSers will look back at your life with your broken down body (because you worked till your 60) and wonder where all the time went and why you spent it chasing every nickel and dime that came your way. It honestly makes me sad. There is a guy at our center who is 63! He still sucks up Saturday air time and all the overtime he can get. If he ever retires he will have what? 5-6 years? If he's lucky..... priorities people... priorities

Which holiday was it, if this is true?

Presidents Day.

 

[What The Hawk?]

Actually the easiest job at UPS is smalls amd surepost..I'd rather drive for 12 hours than do surepost again..its so boring and the scanners enrage me.

 

[What The Hawk?]

Driving is arguably the easiest job at UPS. LMAO You're salty.


My center manager confirms this. My goodness.

Awesome!

Awesome!

I'm glad you like your own post.

How's the wife Dan?

probably hanging out with your's

probably hanging out with your's

I can't tell if this is a sick burn or not, but my first thought was "SICK BURN!"

Presidents Day.

So when this next contract goes through, I wonder if UPS just gets a big win by dropping a paid holiday. We already work many holidays that so many people get off paid, including the Post Office. Now we're about to lose another. That's an almost $300 pay cut for top rate drivers (8 hrs paid).

Knowing our union president, I would assume Ups will make out like bandits on this next contract.

I asked in another thread but got laughed at. What happens when black friday falls on a Saturday or Sunday? Someone said BF and cyber Monday are terrible when they fall on the same day.
