[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 754485, member: 24302"] Once again you absolve the company and say all those bad situations were my fault. I went to the company about the mgr who rehired me shortly after I transferred from his station. I was told by the regional V.P. that a week was 7 days, not 5, and that plenty of employees get their guaranteed 35 hrs on more than 5 days. As you recall the mgr would only let me take a FT swing job if I agreed to receive less than 35 hrs a week for that summer. Nothing in writing, he renegged on our deal, Personnel rep tried to cover for him, finally forced him to give me 40 hrs. He was so nasty about it afterwards I went to company shortly after transferring. I believed I was owed for all those weeks I didn't get full 35 on 5 days but since I volunteered for Saturdays the company would only pay for 2 weeks I didn't work Saturday. V.P. never talked to me, claimed I wasn't abused at all, just my opinion. Mgr had failed DOT physical several times, had hypertension, literally screamed in my face several times. And yet as a swing my onroad portion of review was 6.9 and several digits more. Pretty much perfect onroad. How's that for attention to detail? I did right by them, did the company do right by me? I followed the rules, got thrown under the bus because they didn't want to admit abuse and possibly open themselves up to litigation. And the next location was where they were mailing pkgs. I felt if I went to the company shortly after the last problem I would get no support, labeled a malcontent, possibly fired on something trumped up. That was one situation where I went to the company. I was told something very different on the phone before coming to my current station than what they told me my first day regarding my work duties. I filed a GFT, was told by district director I was complaining about hours and thus not GFTable. I told him that, no, it was about being lied to. That at the very least if things had changed as Sr.Mgr claimed they should've told me before I came and allowed me to back out.
