Thought I retired!!!!!

[Camping Nana]

Hubby lost access to UPSers.com within six months. Also lost all discounts (Verizon, etc.).

He also lost out on sick pay and vacation pay that he had coming. Even grieved it and drove back to home state for hearing. Still lost it. Almost 8K. You wouldn't believe the records that we had to prove it was owed him - union said we could grieve higher, but it would have cost us to keep traveling back for hearings. We decided..... let it go......

And that is exactly what they want. But I understand.

Just not something I had ever considered as a part of retirement but I suppose maybe if I had a gravy what's a few more months right?

Plus 10k? How much vacation are you getting? None of my vacation checks are over $1000

I wouldn't consider it part of retirement either but it something I earned while working.
I just received my 2016 vacation pay (6 weeks) in the mail today with the help of our center clerk and center manager.
That's why I stayed nine months after my seniority date. If this wasn't possible, I would have left in February

You should not have lost your cell phone discount unless you told Verizon that you retired. Verizon does a one time check of your employment status and rarely, if ever, follows up. I have told all of my seasonal helpers to make sure they get their discount.

Is the discount intended to be for active employees only?

Yes but they do not follow up after their initial review.

Good old Dave, sticking it to the man once again.

Call it what you will but 22% is 22%.

It's not as though we need to start a GoFundMe page for VZW.

Karma's a bitch!!!

So, you encourage seasonal help to apply for the discount; that says a lot about you.

Where is the honesty and integrity that you so espouse?

I called the HR lady for the district to find out what is going on. She said I am still in GEMS and am still an employee.

If you're still an employee in the computers, start filing mass grievances ASAP.
I bet that'll get your management team to be a bit more proactive.

"You wouldn't believe the records......"

It appears you have exhausted your options with the union.

Use "....the records...." in a compliant to the NLRB/Dept of Labor.

You're retired......you've got the time.

Verizon does check from time to time...I had to send proof of employment to them last year.

No I stayed for my pension the six weeks was a bonus
