Strange things at my station.

oh I know, that's ancient history - just one of countless decent things they no longer do - such as throw extravagant parties twice a year ("family briefings" they were called) replete with open bar. Yes, sometimes I do have to remind myself this actually used to be a real good place to work......or was I just dreaming?

I believe the rule used to be if you were over 30 hours for X weeks, you were made FT. I just cannot remember the exact policy, but it did exist, long ago.

Wow, didn't think anyone would sink so low as to invoke Godwin. lol

Goebbels and Hitler would have been admirers of FedEx personnel tactics.

It was known as the "Thirteen Thirty Rule" - 30 hrs. for 13 weeks and you were FT.

Naturally they go changing the rules without a mention to the hourlies. Nonetheless use that part-time classification to your advantage.

Even during peak!

Yes, that rings a bell. Now, you have to stay 30 years at $13 per hour, and then they'll make you FT. It's the "Thirty Thirteen Rule". Fred's idea...keeps you wanting more.

This pisses me off. When PT's get 40+ hours, why are they still PT??? There is obviously enough work to make more people FT.

Ive been trying to get a split shift for the longest. But they are just getting rid of all them. Making those drivers take straight eights. If a man or woman is willing to work a ft position with a two hour break so be it.. it should be illegal what they are doin. Hiring nothing but part timers.

We have a part timer get tired of getting minimal hours so he volunteered to help our "north" routes, these routes are ed some places take an hour to get too, safe to say he easily gets over 50 hours a week now. Was actually a smart move for him
