Experience with YRC ( includes YRC, New Penn, USF Reddaway and Holland

I think the layoffs will only last until the end of this month or beginning of next month. It's a numbers game. Hasn't really slowed down that much just how this company does things. Never have been able to understand it

 

Nobody I've talked to can explain why either. Most think it's to save $$$ over the holidays. They all say what you say, 'will probably get hired back in Feb.'. Even my union steward said this, however, he said, on a rare occasion, it wasn't til May. I'm just glad I'm able to hang. I really prepared myself. It will get easier each year too. Starting next year I will begin to get the full amount too because I will have been with the company long enough. Only getting partial this year because I was only with the company for 4 months. We had a person who got laid off 1 week after being hired. lol I think it's safe to say that person wont be back. lol I know business is business but how could you not be pissed off if you were that person? I'd want to box someone. lol

 

I'm headed to Buffalo. Yippeee!

 

I thought you were still laid off??

 

I'm on soft layoff. If it gets down to me, I can work. Last night, none of the 15 guys above me answered their phone. So here I am at 205. SAWEET!

 

Air force!!! Trust me on this one.

Good luck on the Steamfitters test!

 

YAY! I'm headed to 308! Gonna ride this wave for as long as I can. :smt023
