[QUOTE="quadro, post: 719940, member: 12850"] I'm not defending FedEx, per se, just pointing out some facts. If those facts make FedEx look better, well I can't help that. Have managers pressured part time employees? I don't doubt it. Given how many part time employees there are at FedEx and how many days a year they work, I would be willing to bet that those pressures don't occur very often. Doesn't make it right but it also doesn't make it abuse and it certainly doesn't mean [B][I]most [/I][/B]part time employees are intensely pressured to work. So if I'm part time and there's no work for me, I can go home and still get paid 2 hours? And if that happens every day, at the end of the week I'm going to get another 7.5 hours for sitting home? Damn that abuse really hurts.And what business doesn't schedule more employees when they are busy and less when they are not? You do realize that there's absolutely no reason at FedEx to hire a part time employee over a full time employee [U]unless[/U] that is what you need? It did/does at UPS because of the different pay scales. Many years ago I used to do the station's schedule before they wouldn't let hourly employees do it. I learned pretty quickly the need to have a balance between full and part time employees. If the Priority stops were increasing, why would you hire a full time employee to do 4 hours worth of work? Then you get into the situation that you are so willing to decry. Sending people home because there is no work. If there is enough increase in business to add a full time route, why would you hire part timers? It makes no sense to send someone out with just overnight deliveries and then have them drive all the way back to the station and then send someone out with the afternoon deliveries to the same area. Just hire a full time employee, which is what happens, more often than not in my experience. [/QUOTE]
