Well, why not just quit and get rehired? You didn't say how much time you have invested. Can you retire? Draw etc. Even if you could go back part time, you would go to the bottom...probably. I guess...A short visit with HR(pretty obviously) would quickly solve your problem.
Yes, but only if the company agrees to let you do it, there isn't any contractual route. I've seen it happen a couple of times.

Ok. But why some and not others? I could see many scenarios where the company could benefit financially. Get rid of a highly paid hourly? You bet. Given they would start over as a part timer and all that entails.
No idea, but I assume they don't want to set a precedent.

Basically they don't like quiters

Preload is brutal. It really is one of the best part time jobs in the country though...all the bennies and off by 9-10 every day

I don’t ever want my kids to have a career here
But pt preload for a college job? You bet your sweet arse. Good for a young person. Have to be disciplined and develop healthy routines or you’re screwed at 2:30 am

I might just have to quit. Trying to hold out for my wife to get her part time job back at the school district so we have health benefits. Gotta be responsible when you have kids. I’d also like to go to feeder to get my CDL. But if that doesn’t happen before my wife gets her job back, no big deal.
I have 16 years in this company. Over the past couple years I’ve grown to hate it. With a passion. I want out.

Don't give up, you will regret this forever.
Ask your mother I bet she will say the same thing

I realize what I’m leaving. But, I became a licensed state contractor and started a construction company over a year ago. Invested in some construction equipment, and more equipment on the way. Taught myself how to operate said equipment. My company has grown exponentially in the last few months. I am making dramatically more money with my grading company.
im 36. I’m in my last couple years to start a new career. I appreciate what the teamsters and ups have done for me. But it’s time to move on.
just need the benefits for my kids. Although if my company keeps moving in the same direction it is now. I will purchase my own plan.
