[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1118452, member: 42270"] Employees should always be willing to actually call in. That being said, my first FT manager (who was fired when he was promoted to run a smaller package center for [b]stealing time[/b]) would literally refuse to let me call in. The conversations would go a little like this: PiedmontSteward: Hey man, I'm sick and need to burn a day. FT Manager: I'm sorry, Piedmont. I can't do it. PiedmontSteward: What the hell do you mean? I'm pissing out of my ass. I can't come into work. FT Manager: I just can't do it. You gotta come in. PiedmontSteward: *click* I started calling him during his pre-sort meetings when his phone was off and would leave a voicemail, then I'd cut my phone off. It worked until he was transferred, then I could call my new FT supervisor and he acted like an adult. Most PT'ers won't actually call in because of all the bull[IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG] they catch when they do - a few are just lazy as hell. As a steward, I always tell people to call in at least an hour before the sort - period. [/QUOTE]
