Forced breaks

OK, Ward. Wally and I were just discussing Beaver. Is that OK?

BBsam is our in-house Eddie Haskell.

 

[MrFedEx]

I am agreeing with you. He has sent specific instructions to the managers to change our timecards and short us hours. He should be terminated and prosecuted.

Wow. I thought you'd be hoping he got a 5-Star Award. There's hope for you yet, Maynard.

I like the Beaver best. I'll bet Eddie got his share.

Larry Mondello was my personal favorite. His mother looked like she was about 83 years old, and any time he got into trouble it always conveniently happened to be when his dad was away on a business trip in Cincinnati.

And don't forget Lumpy Rutherford.

Reeeeaaally..? This is questionable at best. Sort of like you getting paid $3 more as an RTD to be a crooked courier. You continue to validate your selfish ways. And you can stop complaining about BC members whining because your comebacks are equally lame.

How can you turn a blind eye to FedEx and say these things? Because you're undeniably selfish. Go back and read Jackal's post.

I would bet Fred sits at him computer every morning and sends each DGO manager an email instructing them to change timecards and falsify hours.

I am agreeing with you. He has sent specific instructions to the managers to change our timecards and short us hours. He should be terminated and prosecuted.

I knew it!!!

Finally, VALIDATION! Now if you would just provide us with your name, employee number, and location, we will send our lawyers to depose you, and finally be rid of the source of our problems! Thank you!

I guess if they offered you RTD/Swing pay to be a courier, you would turn it down.

 

[Schweddy]

That would never happen.

I think there would be a strong push/intimidation if the time card was changed.

SM: I this your time card?

Courier: Yes.

SM: Ops manager changed it here. Is this your signature?

Courier: Yes.

SM: You wouldn't sign a falsified document would you?

Courier: No.

SM: No, I wouldn't thinks so. And that's good because we have zero tolerance for falsification. By the way, make sure you code this conversation time as your lunch.

Except, we sign them at end of shift, these "break" changes if they are happening are happening on the computer, and would go unnoticed by most.

 

[SmithBarney]

We were specifically told the last time we had a long delay that we had the option to take a 30 minute break. I don't like to take a break that early in the day, so I made sure I was doing something somewhat productive instead of just standing around shooting the bull.

Break is designated as a "REST" period, that is the reason FedEx Policy is that it cannot be during your first or last hour... it is designed so that you can REST during the day so that you can maintain focus and energy levels.
If you have a 43, and your manager asks you to take a break(which he/she shouldn't since they are versed in the policy) they will offer you the opportunity ("you can take a 30 if you want") otherwise you manager should delegate duties(stock trucks, pickup trash, etc etc.) most don't do this and just eat the 43 time, it's part of the business.

How do they make those breaks coincide with time when no pickup and delivery activity is taking place?

That isn't FedEx policy.

 

[Schweddy]

What does it state in the people manual?

That isn't FedEx policy.

 

[SmithBarney]

That isn't FedEx policy.

Really ever see a time card when a break has occurred during first or last hour.
says something like this:

Timecard error/warning: break taken during first/last hour.

It most definitely is policy.

 

[SmithBarney]

If this is actually happening, then the manager presumable is putting breaks in during the 43 time.

NLRB anyone?

 

[59 Dano]

What does it state in the people manual?

It doesn't state that you can't take a break in the first or last hour of your shift. There is no corporate policy prohibiting either.

NLRB anyone?

Why the NLRB? The stock BC response to anything and everything is to file a class action lawsuit.
