[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 4594747, member: 24302"] There was a policy. Whether it's still the policy I don't know. But it was clearly spelled out that in areas where FedEx cannot find a suitable candidate for hire they can rehire a former employee at his previous rate of pay. The HR rep told me that after I had signed the offer letter and told me it was too late to change anything since I had signed. A year later when I started to look for a transfer my mgr tried to convince me to stay. I pointed out he had told me before I signed the offer letter that he would look into rehiring me at my previous pay then told me he had looked and it wasn't possible. He admitted he hadn't looked into it then right there pulled up the policy and said looks like it's true. Showed it to me. I reminded him that before I signed I had offered to sign something saying I wouldn't transfer if I had my pay restored but at the time he just shrugged and said go head and transfer when the time comes. So that's what I did. I had a number of transfers where I arrived to find the mgr totally misrepresented what the job and route was on the phone beforehand. As soon as I could I transferred out. Were they glad I left? In every case they asked me to stay. I was handling the crap route no one wanted, but had to run like a maniac to do so. Transferring was often my only recourse other than filing a GFT. I did file a GFT over such a situation one time. Got my way on it but mgr messed with me every chance he got until I transferred.
