[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 738821, member: 12508"] No, you need to tell the full story about what really happens to employees who get hurt at FedEx. Yes, policy states that you lose your position after 90 days, but [B]reality [/B]dictates that you will either be railroaded-out or forced to "accept" a position that is unrealistic to take. For example, let's say you are a topped-out RTD or courier in a major market and you get injured, and eventually displaced at the 90 day mark. Maybe there's a position 3,000 miles away and you have a special-needs child or a sick elderly parent or one of a thousand other reasons you can't just pick-up and move. OR, there aren't any RTD or courier jobs available and you can become a handler for $12.50 per hour or whatever that particular market is paying. How are you supposed to live off of that, especially if it's only part-time? Wouldn't the "people" thing to do be holding a position open for you once you heal, re-hab, or otherwise return to good health? No, it wouldn't, and if you don't like it, well that's just too bad. You could work 25 years for FedEx, get some sort of debilitating illness, and then effectively get canned just because you were unlucky enough to get sick. Yep, that's P-S-P in action for you, isn't it? The other fact you don't mention is that FedEx would prefer just to get rid of you altogether, and when you don't take that handler job in EWR or that courier position in Bent Fork, Arkansas, the elimination machine kicks into high gear. God, I hope that there is some class-action attorney out there who gets the information they need to go after FedEx for their cold and calculating methods of eliminating sick and injured employees. It really is criminal the way this company conducts itself. [/QUOTE]
