[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 374216, member: 12508"] "Flexibility" is a one-way street at FedEx. Let's say you work a full shift to help out during the week and you're PT on a Tues-Sat schedule. More likely than not, your hours will be cut on Saturday so you don't exceed 25 for the week. In other words, if you just worked your regular hours, you'd still be at 25 overall. So being flexible gains you nothing. The same manager who is begging you to work extra hours Monday will be more than happy to send you home with 2 hours on Tuesday...again, no net gain to the courier. So many PT people will bend over backwards to help out, yet there is no appreciation shown by FedEx....it's just expected that you will do it. Those who don't can get a lot of pressure by desperate ops managers who try to bamboozle drivers who don't understand FedEx policy. Most couriers don't bother to inform themselves and lose the chance to use the company PT policies to their advantage. The other aspect of PT work that gets people in trouble is disability.
