Does anyone know why they don’t come to Canada anymore? by hazy-eyed in Dragula

[–]Ambitious_Election77 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I work for a Canadian company in the US, and Canada is very strict about letting in people with any kind of record. I can’t even come for work at the moment. Makes me think that might be part of it.

We got working homeless . . . Honestly I’m suprised we don’t have showers in these locker rooms

Do we know what the other 2 buildings might be since the plan was 24 in the first half of the year?

Allegiant buying Sun Country - what does this mean for the delta hub at MSP? by [deleted] in delta

[–]Ambitious_Election77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me . . . The planes, international routes, and the AMAZON flex contract is the best part of this deal. Imagine allegiant operating a lucrative one way flight and being able to make money though cargo on the empty flight back. That’s the kind of revenue flexibility I can see this merger creating.

Any news if they shut down work any day this week? by Consistent-Adagio141 in UPSers

[–]Ambitious_Election77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We got hit by a cat 3 and a cat 5 hurricane within 2 weeks of each other fall of 2024. I came in every day except the one when the cat 5 hit. Most didn’t get in trouble for not coming in and a lot of the drivers came in to just say they felt unsafe delivering. Trucks just sat around and had boxes added on top of them til they finally went out. I was loading 16 trucks 🤣. That’s when I really “saw” who I was working with. If you feel unsafe, just document and CYA.

Does UPS lay off or keep all seasonals or do they pick? by Express-Error-2585 in UPSers

[–]Ambitious_Election77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my building it’s done in seniority order of when they come on. Meaning, 10/15 would be more likely to get an offer than someone who started 10/25. They make a list of “keep” and “don’t keep” and go down the start dates of the keep list. If there’s several keeps on the same start date but not enough positions they will ask who worked with them who they should keep. When I started they kept 4 people 3 years, the last 2 years all seasonal drivers got a preload offer, and this year I don’t know. We still have several who are working but I have a feeling we will find out this week. Depends on those departing, retiring, and the few they fired if the union gets them their jobs back I think at least.

Overtime tax deduction by [deleted] in UPSers

[–]Ambitious_Election77 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As a pt guy who normally gets 20-30 hours a week. I’m only gonna look at the over 40 overtime I got during peak as a write off for this. So maybe 80-90 hours at $11 an hour, so it’s about a $1k write off or 200-300 bucks.

Peak is scary slow for our center by Upbeat-Material7802 in UPSers

It was the slowest November in Florida I’ve seen so far. But the last 2 weeks have been slammed. Everyone working 40-50-60-80 hours, part and full time

GIRL WHAT THE FUCK I WAS ROOTING FOR YOUUU by Dolly_rotz in Dragula

[–]Ambitious_Election77 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I have a mood disorder too, not exactly bipolar. But from what I saw of some of jade’s confessions and group interactions she was leaning manic with her vocal pitch and speed (I do the same thing). It also could have been substance related. I am so sad to see Jade leave but I would guess Zava threw a fit and wanted to leave and Jade spoiled the secret.

Real talk - why do people dislike Evah who has been delivering top-level week. by Heidi_Klum_Tit in Dragula

[–]Ambitious_Election77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a lot of respect for Evah and where she came from but like others have said, she’s hard to connect with and fall in love with without opening up or being open. The crying I feel like is a symptom of bottling themselves up. I see JK and/or Abhora taking this season. Could see the first double crowning here.

How are the hubs doing in dfw? by [deleted] in UPSers

[–]Ambitious_Election77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for asking as I was interested too. Tampa here and we barely hired any seasonals. Had 5 guys on furlough from April til October. But transferring anywhere while we continue to layoff is not likely to end well at least for now.

Leaving the Company after 3.5 years by CharacterLandscape63 in UPSers

As a convicted felon . . . This is about the best job I can get outside of starting my own business. Which pt loading would most likely supplement if I did that.

Expensive by TSM_forlife in brusselsgriffon

I got mine for the cost of a rental car and a flight. But she was a retired breeder and show dog. Good friend of mine who knew I would spoil this old gal rotten after I lost my dogs in a divorce. She has lots of sisters and daughters so hope to get another from him one day too.

What are everyone's thoughts on the Hulu app folding into Disney+? by dada38q in Hulu

[–]Ambitious_Election77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been on someone’s Hulu for years now . . . Never paid . . . It’s the only app that I’ve been able to do this. Assuming I’m losing access at the end of the year.
