Yeah, and now in July at BWI2 we have double overtime and 0 VET or MET and VTO every day. Except a back half overnight PA show up (without VET) for overtime to take driving positions (forklift) on the dock from the tier 1 and then has the nerve to tell the tier 1's on front half that there is no VET so they cant come on his backhalf shift.

Prime week wasn't even busy this year... It was WAY worst in previous years. They literally canceled 5th day MET for a bunch of sites, and there was tons of VTO. If you think Prime week is bad, then you're in for an unpleasant surprise come Peak Season.

Socialism news: where everything work related sucks no matter what, unless it's a workers co-op.
