[QUOTE="quadro, post: 785616, member: 12850"] I've no idea and it's irrelevent as we are talking about scheduling at FedEx. How do you know there isn't enough work available? Do you do their schedules? I think you missed your own point. How do you maximize an employee's profitability? You give them as much work as possible. How do you do that if you dilute the work by having more FT employees than there is work for? What I know about trucking is also irrelevant. What I know about scheduling and work flow is much more germane to the issue. The problem with job shares in the sense you are using which is combine two PT jobs into one FT, is that you run a large risk of not having an employee where you need them when you need them. If, for example, you have a PT RTD who could be full time if he was an RTD in the a.m. as well as an a.m. courier, what happens when the there's a late aircraft and he or she is needed to double turn and cannot get back to the station in time to run the route? How do you resolve the pay issue between what an RTD gets paid and what a courier gets paid? While that last item shouldn't prevent a job share from happening, it is a very real concern that needs to be worked out to avoid issues that turn into very expensive lawsuits. I know this because I've been there, done that. I've seen the issues first hand and no matter how well intentioned it was, it created some extremely bad outcomes. Ad hominem arguments seem to be your M.O. recently. I wonder why that is? [/QUOTE]
