[QUOTE="FedEx2000, post: 808907, member: 13621"] What does pay have to do with calling in sick? Do I think couriers should be paid more, sure....that in no way implies that calling in sick is the appropriate alternative. I always preferred the extra week of pay at the end of the year myself. My suggestion to get that info from MFE was due to the fact that he would have disagreed with my explanation regardless of what it was, and also b/c we had discussed that in another thread. Yes, the plan is to call people who are not working to see if they are willing to come in, ask part-timers, or move swings around to cover everything.....if there are still openings, I either run the route myself or absorb it if possible. It's not like we have 10 people hanging out in the break room just in case we get a sick call. So yes, on top of correcting your timecard for the 600th time, resetting your password b/c you can't remember it, asking for that close list again, explaining that a PMX is the same as a STAT44, etc......it is kind of a pain to have to ask a swing to switch routes b/c one of his peers called in sick. Piss and moan, no, but try to explain it from a different point of view, yes. I'm not the one on here constantly complaining about my job, just trying to offer up a different view of things.....sorry if you don't like it. What is Wal Mart's contingency plan by the way? They close a check out line and you wait longer. Sounds like a great plan to me. [/QUOTE]
