[QUOTE="brownIEman, post: 970837, member: 14596"] Yes, I admit that was a slanted way to put it. Not long ago I would have agreed with you about the majority not abusing it. Lately I am not so sure... And here you have the answer to the follow up question I had. Is there a pattern? I am in a roll where I see many many FMLA users, and it does not take long to see patterns. Of course I don't know this driver, so I do not know that she may have a legitamate health issue with her child. But the patterns will be telling. Lets say one guy on a sweet cake walk route is off for vacation and I put her on his route for the week? And low and behold, her child is never sick all that week, ITS A MIRACLE! Then the next week, she is on that route on Monday, but tuesday is an all business bulky suck route. Uh Oh, little Jr. is way to sick (once mom finds out the route she is on) and she has to go. Or how about, I ask her, and yes, Jr. is fine, I will run 9X route today (a light route). Then, I find out I have a sick call, and have to break out a route, so I need her to take 15 stops of 8X route before she leaves. Uh oh, 10 min later, guess who is too sick and needs mommy at home today? Now I have 2 routes to cover. From what Goochy is saying, she is either using this law to pick which routes she wants to run, or there is an amazing coincidence that her child only gets sick when she is on a route she does not like. You decide which is more likely. I hate to sound like a crumudgeon, but I have already made up my mind. Am I bitter? Yes I am. I know you think this stuff rarely if ever happens. I can tell you I deal with it all the time and it does. So, sure it pisses me off. [/QUOTE]
