Bad weather would just give them something to blame. If the weathers stays good then there is no one but themselves to point the finger at. Tho I'm sure they still won't understand.
The ship is sinking.... how many missed?

That was the plan last weekend, didn't seem to pan out. Turns out three extra shifts don't make much of a dent when all you can swing is skeleton staffing.Monday next week will bestorm. After the hubs process all of this backed up stuff they have this weekend.
Unless they start to force people in from the bottom, these weekends will have rapidly diminishing returns as they burn out their volunteer pool.

That and the slow degrading of “give a
” over time, which is more detrimental to the company than a tongue lashing from a BA.

One stop at a time, let it implode.
Let me put it to you succinctly. Amazon is taking over the world, changing the main frame of society. The amount of shipments companies and people make every year is increasing exponentially. But instead of adapting to these changes and working smart, UPS cares more about the "productivity" of their underpaid preloaders and drivers; harping on them for any failures in the company, when really it boils down to poor leadership and an inability to adapt to a changing environment. And just like in nature, the species that is less able to adapt is most likely to die out and go extinct.

Don't know I just sold all of my stock.
Actually looked into shorting ups because it's gonna go down at least $5 before the end of the year.

Wall Street only cares about profit. They hear stories of UPS being blown out with packages, they are thinking more packages, more profit, stock price goes up. They know that UPS is charging more this week, even more revenue. Packages being late don't matter to Wall Street. If UPS has a bigger profit from more packages, that's all that matters to investors. If profit goes down, the stock will suffer.

Was a good call. That's an all time high. It's gonna come way down soon.

Being blown out means they'll have to spend more on infrastructure. Wall Street doesn't like those costs.
They told us today that the good news is that Portland is still behind 100k pks and it's not getting worse. They plan on putting in an extra weekend sort this weekend and will be caught up. WTF? we are already way understaffed on Mondays because of this Saturday bull. They didn't post any start times last Friday of drivers forced to work this Sat so they can't force. Lol. If they did post, those guys would magically not many hours available and demand 8hrs pay guarantee. What a joke. There is an extra week between Thanksgiving and Xmas this year. Only thing that might make most of peak doable.

They managed to hire 19 helpers for 55 drivers. I hit DOT everyday this week. Already at 41 hours and it’s only Wednesday. Center had about 800 missed yesterday. It’s going just as good as anyone could have guessed.

He was
Please inform that driver he should be paid from the time he started to the time he punched out after his second trip. There should be no break in between when he was walking to his car.
If they want to fight him on it I'm sure he can tell them that he did not have the 10 hours he is required to have before driving again.

He was in his car heading home and went back in to help? No balls. Why answer your phone?
I have a problem working Saturday whether it’s 13 minutes or 13 hours. I am a Monday through Friday driver and it is not my responsibility to bail management out when they continuously make poor decisions. Especially when they treat me like a dog turd 12 months a year.
Needs to keep a roadie in his car.
