Half hour breaks?

[Operational needs]

Some break violations are a bigger issue that others. If you keep committing violations that are a bit of a bigger deal and discipline is warranted, a few OLCCs document that this is something that has been happening in the past and that he has discussed it with you and that you have had notice and opportunity to correct the issue.

I know I’ve actually read somewhere that breaks are not allowed in the first or last hour, just recently. Ugh! Now I’m going to have to search for it tomorrow.

Break in the first/last hour work is not a policy violation.

Actually, taking a break in your last hour of work is definitely violating policy. At least this is what my time card said when I did that.

It hasn't changed in at least the last 15 years.

So the policy permits some break violations as long as they aren’t big violations? Makes sense. Your credibility is zero, by the way.

Policy is often overlooked when it benefits the company but the second it doesn't, you have to be by the book! Try to point out the hypocrisy and managers look at you like you have two heads.

Why is it a “violation” if it’s not against policy?

Some things are left to the discretion of your ops/senior manager, such as how long your break must be if you work over 8 hours.

Wouldn't state and/or federal law take precedent?

I can tell you that the People Manual, which is the official word on that, says that they are "discouraged."

Actually, taking a break in your last hour of work is definitely violating policy. At least this is what my time card said when I did that.

It doesn't say it's a policy violation, though it does include a message of a break in the last hour worked.

Yeah but that goes without saying. We're talking about the stuff isn't mandated.

You changed the target, respond to the direct question.
We can go through this again.
It's all been recorded, everyone can read it.

If you ever tire of offering ignorant, uniformed comments on company policy, feel free to examine it for yourself.

Or people guess at what policy is...

Read it as many times as you wish. Glad you like it!

Policy is half hour break after 6 hours, hour break after 8 hours. Until it isn't because there's too many packages.

I'd love to do so. Where can I find a copy of the company policy? Is that a question you can actually answer?

Dano’s specialty is to muddy the waters, shift the blame and act like a total instead of providing meaningful responses.

It's a shame that he wasn't hugged more as a child.

Not me! I’ll spend 30 minutes of my time after work searching the top secret recesses of the Fedex intranet to find Fedex Policy to prove myself right to management. Lol.

You have to search on the Fedex intranet to find Policy. Start on the Fedex home page and use “key word” field.

Exactly, what is the purpose of an olcc?
I am asking you, a proclaimed former manager.
Exactly why did you issue a negative olcc?

It's a direct question, I am asking you, personally, a former manager, your reason to issue olcc's?

Don't veer in a different direction, or talk of generalities.

You Dano personally, you specifically.
