[QUOTE="FedEx2000, post: 787048, member: 13621"] So from what I have read here, some people feel that it's ok to screw the company by saying they didn't get the message or that you should be able to come in to work and do nothing while getting paid for it.....but it's not ok for FedEx to have you call in to see if the freight is going to be late due to weather etc....and give you the option of coming in later? If you want to come in at your regular time and work, fine, but don't expect to sit in the break room sipping coffee and getting paid for it. Employees can call in sick up to an hour prior to their start time, forcing mgmt to cover a route at the last minute....this is no different, people just don't like it when it affects them. It's an uncontrollable part of our business that we have delayed flight/trucks due to weather/mx issues...you can't plan for that ahead of time. As far as the Amazon volumes go, we were told by Amazon that they were shipping approx. 110k pcs for SDR delivery, I havn't seen the final number as of yet, but we have to plan based on the information we are given. We took volunteers only, didn't mandate anyone to work that didn't want to. Also, in reference to the code 43 issue that was mentioned in another thread, we use it all the time, unfortunately, 3 times this past week. And I believe it was Quadro that said it correctly when he mentioned that it does not save any AM sort hours, still rolls up in to that, just a way to track time lost due to waiting. [/QUOTE]
