[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 821965, member: 24302"] I was required to take my remaining sick days(4) before I went on short-term disability. As to discussing what my mgr said to me with HR, I did. To be exact I went to my mgr and asked if it's possible to withdraw from the position I had accepted due to not being able to find anything affordable in that area that wasn't immediately grabbed by someone local. That landlords weren't willing to deal with someone from out of state when they had 3 or 4 prospective tenants there(very popular beach/university town). Happened over and over. Mgr said he would ask HR, sent me msg saying HR said I could withdraw up to the reporting date. When I saw mgr that night asked him what did I need to do besides withdraw on the computer. Told me to contact hiring mgr AND SAID THERE MAY BE A TIME PENALTY INVOLVED(exact words). I asked him how much is that? HE REPLIED HE DIDN'T KNOW, WOULD HAVE TO ASK HR. It never occured to me that he might be trying to evade giving answer. He knew I was trying to get near my mom and sister. At any rate I should have gotten the answer before I withdrew. But that would still leave me having to find a place to live. And as FedEx doesn't tell you in JCATS that you'll be penalized a whole year, they really put you between a rock and a hard place. So 2 days after I withdrew there's an opening for a domiciled courier slightly farther than the other from my mom but with a much better cost of living. So I put in for it, then tell my mgr about it. He's saying no I can't. I point out that hiring mgr of previous posting never contacted him, which policy clearly states he must. That I was just in system as "verified", he never entered that position was filled. My mgr calls HR. She tells me that only thing that matters is I put my signature on the offer letter accepting it, doesn't matter that hiring mgr didn't follow policy.
