God forbid that it be easily accessed and disseminated.You have to search on the Fedex intranet to find Policy. Start on the Fedex home page and use “key word” field.

I think they don’t want newer people to know it exists. I tell all of them, If something management has done to you doesn’t feel right, ask me to show you how to look it up.God forbid that it be easily accessed and disseminated.
You're a good girl, once again.I think they don’t want newer people to know it exists. I tell all of them, If something management has done to you doesn’t feel right, ask me to show you how to look it up.
Got it!Some things are left to the whims of your ops/senior manager, such as how long your break must be if you work over 8 hours.
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.
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?
Then it's different down there.There is no hour break after 8 hours policy (at least in the states).
It's on the company intranet.
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.

Exactly why would an employee get an olcc from you if it was not a violation of policy? Excluding the compliment alternative of course.To document a conversation about something that was done.
Employee did something wrong.
Because an employee did something good or bad that warranted a conversation.
Some folks here, no matter how much I argue with them and trade insults and butt heads, I enjoy conversing with and sincerely appreciate their participation because their input helps make the forum fun and lively. I have no problem offering them as much detail as they want because their interest in a topic are sincere.
For a “one size fits all” company like FedEx, you can’t tell me they haven’t tossed the idea around.The alternative is to take away all management discretion and put everyone at every station under one single rule, for which no exceptions can ever be made under any circumstance.
I'm sure that would go over well.
Has Fedex ever issued a copy of the people manual to each employee?You mean the 4.0 GPA guy who questions the validity of every comment I make hasn't seen any of our policies and doesn't even know where to look, even though he's been with the company since 2016?
ROTFLAMO!!!!!
It's on the company intranet.
Yeah, Cletus is probably an idiot. I deal with facts and not rumors.You mean instead of just repeating what Cletus heard third-hand from someone else 9 weeks ago on the sort? You'd rather be informed??
You're no fun!
Because it's not just a break, it's a rest period, designed and regulated by the DOT to ensure you are well rested and not a hazard on the road. That is why its suggested to be taken between your 3rd and 6th hour.What does it matter when you take your break? You are off the clock whether you are milling about waiting or sitting in your truck in a gas station parking lot?
I think
I told that to a particular manager. His response "Okay, I'm giving you a directive...go on break with everyone else" Since this is a manager that watches every move I make and I didn't know the EXACT wording of the policy, I did. Never did that again.....unless I wanted to.Why didn't you politely decline and take your 30 later on?
How? A 30 minute break at, say, 8:00am is the same as 30 minutes at 12:00. Unless you take a break at both times.Because by taking your break during the sort you’re losing 30 minutes a day.
You don't lose anything unless you take another break onroad.Our station has been on a 30 min break schedule since we started the no signature program. As far as taking the 30 minutes break while waiting for late freight. It is something I always do. Even though I lose the extra pay, I get home earlier which is more important to someone at the end of their Fedex career.
The policy book is, if I remember correctly, over 400 pages. The 'People Manual' is about the same. Besides, you can easily look them both up on the intranet.Has Fedex ever issued a copy of the people manual to each employee?
I do not speak of the condensed model.
