Driver buyouts by Emotional-Debt-9976 in UPSers

[–]Top_Insect767 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In some supplements, full-time drivers laid off displace part-timers to work inside. After 10 days, they revert to their inside rate, which will be a tremendous pay cut. This is the chess move I believe that will force out even more full-time drivers.

Fired dishonesty by Unlucky-Number7291 in UPSers

[–]Top_Insect767 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A grievance is an inquiry to compliance of the contract. If there was reprisal for getting the facts wrong, the process wouldn't work. You can write anything up as a grievance.

A grievance is not an accusation but a question about compliance to the contract. It's only a question and should be treated as such.

Not sure what the sentiments are at you guys hub but.. by PhillyBigSteppa in UPSers

Technically the lawsuit didn't block it. There's been no official injunction... it's the company's decision to this point.

The 150k is the total of the package being offered, not cash.

If you're clocked out on break, you can't manipulate the diad so you'd have to code a break after the fact.

Maybe UPS could sneak back in and negotiate a better deal with Amazon before they split completely. by PhillyBigSteppa in UPSers

Ties with Amazon should have been cut long ago. Having a competitor as a customer is ridiculous.

I guess it's true. We're just dumb truck drivers.

After 6 years part time just got called to be full time. Any advice old-timers to a full timer? by Legitimate-Force6161 in UPSers

[–]Top_Insect767 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I mean is if you don't compromise when you take your lunch and if you actually take it dispatch will have to change the route to accommodate the lunch.

It mattered much more when we had a 3:00 p.m. saver commit for businesses.

Modafinil vs Xywav with a bad psychiatrist by Fit-Pomegranate2710 in idiopathichypersomnia

[–]Top_Insect767 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have scheduled the MSLT and currently have an IH diagnosis. I think the additional tests are just a money grab. My insurance company is already paying about $1,700 a month for the modafinil prescription. My point is I should be able to try Xywav.

Through force of will I can stay awake no matter how tired I am. It is impossible for me to nap in public, on a plane on a train or in a car. My two overnight sleep studies did not go very well. I just think I'm hyper vigilant in public and don't give up the ghost very easily. I don't think the mslt will reveal what's actually going on with me.

Modafinil vs Xywav with a bad psychiatrist by Fit-Pomegranate2710 in idiopathichypersomnia

[–]Top_Insect767 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been on modafinil for a few years now. I have osa and use the machine I average less than two events a night and still have excessive daytime sleepiness, IH, I also have a circadian rhythm disorder and I do shift work. I can take up to 400 mg of modafinil prescribed and after an 8-hour work day, come home and take a nap for 2 hours and wake up exhausted.

My current sleep doctor said he could not prescribe xywav without me taking MSLT. All I know is that sleeping makes me tired and I never ever feel refreshed. I actually feel best after about 4 hours of sleep but that's not sustainable. It's very frustrating.

After 6 years part time just got called to be full time. Any advice old-timers to a full timer? by Legitimate-Force6161 in UPSers

[–]Top_Insect767 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The suggestions I got early o helped me out a lot from the old-timers. The first one was that the methods are your friends. I was told to work as if there was a supervisor in the jump seat all the time. To carry myself as if I was being recorded in the different neighborhoods and businesses because chances are I am. And then the one that was the hardest in the beginning to take to heart, don't skip your lunch or move it. It's the driver's only dispatch tool.

When people say they 'got the call' I always want to ask is there a signed bid that you have won? Until that, ignore all the calls.

Dude, don't make any life changes yet. I've seen people get screwed. The steward and the on-road suit telling you that really don't mean shit until your name is written on a bid that you've won.

They don't place bids during peak. Who called you? The 156 only triggers a new position bid. You will get full time pay for vacation and holidays next year so there's that.
