[QUOTE="snackdad, post: 807311, member: 30266"] For years my managers, who required a phone contact number, used to call my house, waking everyone up, at any hour starting at about 0530AM. That was to tell me that start time had been rolled back from 0650 to 0730. Wow, disrupt the sleep and peace of a whole household to save the corporation 40 minutes of pay. This means that the employee leaves home only 20 minutes later than usual from home because traffic is much worse at 0700 that at 0620. This was so disrespectful of the sanctity of the home. It was like your rights and peace mean nothing compared to the station budget. I soon learned to change my contact number to my cell phone, thus sparing anyone else from the intrusion. Then I just ignored the cell phone and arrived at my scheduled time. Boy were they pissed! I told them I was there to work not to sit around. I would punch in at my posted time and do whatever was necessary to fill the void. Work Is Work. 24 hours notice of schedule changes became my standard. It is amazing to me that here we are in 2011 and FedEx is still treating it's employees like indentured servants. It still goes on today, everyday. The Northern California stations, especially North on the Golden Gate Bridge are so dysfunctional it is amazing that clean sweeps of all managements have not occurred yet. [/QUOTE]
