[QUOTE="quadro, post: 822818, member: 12850"] There's really no need to spell it out in JCATS. It is clearly spelled out in the hiring policy and if I'm not mistaken, JCATS does reference that policy. Most of the time what seems like a "gotcha" situation is really a lack of understanding on someone's part. The information is all there and very accessible to someone that wants to take the time to read it. It's not like I magically woke up one morning and knew this stuff. I've been through enough situations with bad outcomes where I've said that I wouldn't let it happen to me again. I took the time and educated myself and learned about a lot of this stuff. Even the swing example isn't a gotcha as it is clearly spelled out in policy. The problem is that most people don't think to look or feel they don't need to. They get into the swing position without ever thinking that they might go back. The problem was the way the job change pay was calculated for a promotion and for a downbid. And it's funny that you bring this particular issue up as I'm pretty sure it has now changed or is in the process of changing because it did suck. Now you'll get a 4% raise if you go from courier to swing and you'll lose 4% if you go from swing to courier. As far as being confronted with policies that you didn't know existed, the rules and consequences ARE spelled out up front. They are in the policies. Just because someone doesn't take the time to ask or check doesn't mean they are not spelled out. Certainly there's no way someone can know all the policies but they have to at least evaluate their own situation. In your case, if you never thought that there was a chance you wouldn't accept the position, then that's on you. No one forced you to put in for it and no one forced you to sign the offer letter. Had you done what a reasonable person would do and made sure it was somewhere you wanted to/could afford to live before signing, then you wouldn't be in your current situation. I think for the most part FedEx goes overboard making sure we know policy. How many times do you have to sign something or take a test or acknowledge that you've done/seen/viewed something? It is a pain in the ass how many times that happens. [/QUOTE]
