The Word for Next Week: SNAFU!

Buzz · December 05, 2020, 03:01:11 PM

Just got off the phone with Ernie and everybody, I mean EVERYBODY from OPT down, is still fucked up and there is no definite direction for next week yet.

The only thing he can tell us is wait for the list to be emailed by the company. If you're on it, you report to work. If not, you remain on unemployment.

And, as has been said all along, those who are on the "Work List" will work before anybody else below them in seniority. If their run is working they will do their own run rather than the run they were covering. Somebody else from the list will cover that work.

We just have to wait for the list.

Are we truly surprised at this point. Just going by the articles we read and the links posted here we can all see that this is for sure a CLUSTER FUCK OF MAJOR PROPORTIONS !!!!

Here's where we need that patience thing again of which I have very little.

Eucerin · December 05, 2020, 03:42:07 PM

Oh my, what is the best guess for the list from Pioneer to be sent out?...waiting for the other shoe to drop I guess...LOL

TheKid24 · December 05, 2020, 03:46:37 PM

I'm sorry but if majority of the schools are opening just have the drivers do their runs and whoever is closed do dry runs so there isn't any confusion or animosity amongst drivers.....so everyone is happy and everyone gets paid.

I mean DeBlasADOUCHE did say pubic schools are opening the 7th and D 75 on the 10th why the first confusion and confusion towards who's driving again.

Schools are open we should we driving and reporting to work.

TheKid24 · December 05, 2020, 03:48:52 PM

If you said there's 17-18 schools on that list there's gotta be some shot at me working my run Monday with my list number being in the 320s.

TheKid24 · December 05, 2020, 03:52:21 PM

There's 27 D31 schools on that list

That includes junior high and high schools. I specified "elementary" when I said 18. But that involves dozens of runs. Not so sure you'd be working.

Except that the guy who pays us wouldn't be very happy.

TheKid24 · December 05, 2020, 04:33:03 PM

So with 17-18 schools closed drivers in the 320s won't be working.....I'll just go screw myself 🤣🤦🏻‍♂️

Hammer2161 · December 05, 2020, 04:44:49 PM

To TheKid24,
Listen I am not sure if I know you or I don't but some friendly advice is to just try and relax. I know you along with a lot of other people are very much on edge but all Buzz myself and others on here are trying to do is pass along information as we receive it. It would be great if they let everyone come to work on Monday but I doubt the owner wants to pay drivers and matrons if he is not getting paid for those runs from the city.

THIS SITUATION MOST CERTAINLY SUCKS BUT ALL WE CAN DO IS BE PATIENT AND HOPE FOR THE BEST. I TRULY HOPE YOU AND EVERYONE ELSE THAT WANTS AND NEEDS TO WORK CAN WORK COME MONDAY. BUT FOR NOW ITS A WAIT AND SEE GAME.

As I said nothing against you guys and thank you for the info you pass along, just saying it's frustrating schools are opening up. My run is active and I can't work.

You don't know that yet. Stay calm.

Hammer2161 · December 05, 2020, 06:08:39 PM

The truth is there is definitely no malicious intent here on anyone's part. I know for a fact there are some senior drivers who opted not to be on that list such as Buzz and others. With that being said I hope there is enough work so we all get back to work.
We waited this long a few more hours or even possibly another day won't kill us.

THE NEW LIST IS COMING TRY TO HAVE FAITH !!!!

Hammer2161 · December 06, 2020, 02:34:32 PM

And WHEN lol
Here's hoping for good news for all of us.

steady · December 06, 2020, 02:59:10 PM

I would expect the list to be displayed around the same time as last week. 3PM

yabba · December 06, 2020, 03:18:38 PM

i wont be availible to return tomorrow if the list warrants me,i have waited long enough for imput as to my returning from furlough and have to take my interview with Shoprite..

i see it that we are only a news conference away from a longer shutdown sooner or later... i lost faith ..

Hammer2161 · December 06, 2020, 05:34:40 PM

Yabba,
Unfortunately I think a lot of us share your sentiments. At this point I am not sure there is anyone or anything we can put our faith in. The only thing I believe at this point is the The Big Guy in the sky has a reason for everything. The uncertainty of what's going on right now I think makes this scarier than back in March.

Hoping for the best !!!! That's all I can say at this point.

yabba · December 06, 2020, 05:44:01 PM

i agree with the march...maybe cause everything was basically shut down and we didnt have much of a choice in anything...plus the 600 helped a lot....now its medical for december and everything else is unknown... no mention of the pension other then the NY Post says that is part of it..but our furlough email said medical for december ONLY.... crazy times ...

Medical for December, not pension. And I'm not at all sure that the 43% we saw mentioned isn't just for the company's portions of both funds, not ours.
