For one, “exceptional receivers” DO NOT make mistakes, let alone a lot of them. Every mistake is also not the same. ie. Receiving 2 cartons of towels and 1 of them is the wrong color is not the same as receiving a pallet of 18 PS5s as 118 cartons. 1 of them essentially costs the company nothing...

Don’t think it exists. Although it is frowned upon depending on the merit position, it’s all based on business need. Exception being LWWs, who very much should also be spending time in prod functions.

Our budget got cut this year because of them over-buying last year. I think the goal headcount dropped by 5-6 TMs for my building, so we’d need to drop at least 6 people before there is an “open” spot. Since Covid died down, everything has been easier, so we’ve been hitting our goals for the...

I thought they had said within 72 hours but not 100% on that.

Posting the position is a requirement, even if they’ve already decided who they want and are just treating it as a formality. Having too many backups for a position is counterproductive for development.

Yeah, I’m not sure the reasoning that they got rid of the part-time option at DCs, it seems like it helped with retention and managing volume fluctuations. I’d understand if it was because it’d take too long for them to ramp, but even when they had it you were full-time for at least 6 months...

You won’t be handling their paperwork, but I think it went back to the old way of checking in but they split it between YCs and TSS. TSS has to get their license and put their info in a program that tracks who is in the yard at any time. Asks them if they have a bolt/cable seal, make them cut it...

Truth! It sucks taking heat for live drivers being lied to by their own dispatch, or because IB can’t get them unloaded in a timely manner, or because they suck at managing their own time. And so on.

“On demand” isn’t an option at DCs, there also isn’t the option of dropping to part time. It’s highly unlikely that they’d approve a schedule exception that cuts your hours that much, generally they seem to believe that you should schedule school around work, not the other way around.

Regular TSS or Senior TSS? TSS is a fairly basic role, mostly checking truck drivers in/out of the yard. They might do a couple of perimeter checks and stuff, but it’s pretty basic and mostly outside of the actual building to the best of my knowledge. (Merit level 1 pay) Senior TSS is more...

I did swat a LONG time ago. It’s not really a program in the sense that it should never be necessary, it’s just something they throw together when a DC is fucked. I just got a rental car since the other DC was only a 4 hour drive or so, the drive was paid and we took our time getting there. The...

Are you using it on a DC computer or on an app? If I try to use that link from my app it gives an invalid server error.

I only started hearing “DA” recently. As far as I can tell, a CA is for something that you need to improve (reliability, prod, quality, etc.) whereas a DA is for a one-off behavior (like getting caught with earbuds, “red-light moves”, etc.) I could be way off, or it could be the other way...

12pm is noon, so they’d be working A1. Calling off or leaving early on Xmas eve would cost you your holiday pay for Xmas day.

I stand corrected I guess. My understanding was that you could be stripped of the role without being fired, thus you should be able to voluntarily be removed without having to post out. Especially since you’d be posting to a position that you already occupy, even if only partially.

It’s not exactly it’s own position, more of an “add-on” role, so you wouldn’t need to post back. You should have the ability to drop the role, which would then just return you to a “normal” WW and remove the extra pay.

The only place radios were ever “ok” was at packing stations, and they had to be stand-alone and battery powered (couldn’t be a dock or bt speaker) but I don’t even think that’s the case anymore. The consequences would likely be the same as getting caught with your earbud, which at my DC is a final.

Didn’t even think of Halloween, I’m sure Valentine’s Day & Easter will be equally popular.

Even this is probably gonna be DC specific, or at least DC type specific (RDC, FDC, IW, etc.).

Policy is up. It’s non-accountable, can’t be coached. 1hr per 52 worked, max 40hr/yr. Can’t accrue more than 40hrs. It doesn’t appear that it will protect holiday pay (if you’re in a state/city where it’s law, it does) So yeah, basically another week of vacation! 😁
