[QUOTE="quadro, post: 773473, member: 12850"] Where do you see me apologizing? I'm just stating facts. Yes eye surgery would likely be a legitimate reason if it's not elective. Yes a chronic medical condition might also prevent you from coming to work. Whether or not they are FMLA eligible is not determined by FedEx. FMLA is a law not a FedEx policy. In fact, you can have paid time off that is FMLA eligible so maybe it is you who should get your facts straight. Even if someone does not qualify for FMLA, FedEx still gives them 90 days (FMLA is at max 84 days) before their job can be posted. Then depending on full-time or part-time status there could be short term disability followed by long term disability. At what point do you draw the line before replacing someone. If it goes too long, then everyone else in the station has to pickup that slack. How is that fair to those people and to the customer? Sure, we can do it for 90 days and we do. Sometimes it's closer to 180 days before it's all sorted out but eventually you have to replace someone who has been on an extended absence. And that is PSP at work because it sucks for the 1 person who is out but it sucks even bigger for the employees who have to carry the extra weight day in and day out while that 1 person isn't there. I'll gladly help out to cover another employee as much as I can and I know most people will but I can only do it for so long before my family forgets who I am. [/QUOTE]
