[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 2170021, member: 12508"] Sure, except when there's late freight or some other reason that benefits the company. I've never seen an organization more focused on trying to get free work from employees or minimize their pay, although Amazon seems to be very similar in their tactics. For years, I worked in stations where they would have pizza parties or BBQs during "lunch" or after work. Attendance was "mandatory" as in you were pressured to attend these events and management would remind you if you didn't show-up. Simply put, this was a way to conduct work meetings off the clock. Invariably, sometime during the BBQ, work-related material would be introduced by the manager, or you'd be handed the latest letter to sign that indicated your acknowledgement of some new policy. I would never attend any of these, and whenever a manager got in my face (often) and said I wasn't part of the team or had a bad attitude I would simply reply that if it was important enough for me to attend, it needed to be paid. It never went any further than that. Besides encouraging people to not use Code 43, FedEx is famous for having managers corner you as you are leaving the building and then having a work-related conversation. The simple solution for this is to tell the manager you're heading inside to clock back in. Then, we can have a conversation. Do not let this company rip you off. They are always trying some new way to screw you out of money. [/QUOTE]
