[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 982764, member: 22880"] Many times in life, if one wants to take two steps forward, they have to begin by taking a single step back. Many FT employees are going to look at taking a 2nd job. But there is that little portion in your employee handbook which states something to the effect that: "All outside employment by full-time employees is to be supplementary in nature and cannot conflict with the needs of Express employment." What are you going to tell your potential 2nd employer if you are called in to cover a Saturday route? What are you going to tell your potential 2nd employer during peak, when you aren't available for about 2 weeks? This is the Catch-22 that FT employees at Express face. In addition, the same restrictions apply for any schooling you may be attempting to do - it cannot conflict with Express scheduling. My recommendation to any Express employee is to go to part-time status and knock out their educational goals - I did just that to knock out my Masters before leaving. It will involve some financial hardship, but Express cannot jerk you around with scheduling changes and drafts to cover routes as a part-time employee. As a full-time employee, they own you. [/QUOTE]
