A guy in my work group was out for a couple of months, a couple years ago. He showed me a letter he was sent from FedEx's insurer suggesting that he would probably be better off and should look for job opportunities in another industry, given the nature of his injury.
Yeah, the lady who said this is supposed to be the person to help you with anything between insurance, doctors , and the company. I felt her job was more of the nature of " push them back to work." She always called every couple weeks asking when I would be back to work.
That's when you tell that dbag to call your doctor directly@ (800)867-5309, yas???
Talked to my doctor about it actually. He was pissed because fedex was pressuring him to clear me on his end as well. He didn't clear me to return to duty an extra 2 weeks because of it.
Good. I think a lot of us are just trying to give you a heads up on what to expect from corporate. Hell, maybe with all the turnover they don't even bother anymore as long as you stay.
Wow, that's like looking at P-S-P in its unfiltered reality.
No, the Nude-o-scope doesn't check for metal under the skin, only the metal detector does and even if it does, I dont think the tiny amount of metal in your wrist is going to set it off.
FedEx is self insured.
Are you sure about WC? Even if we are self insured, FedEx is still contracting with the insurer to handle claims as expediently and cheaply as possible, employees be damned.
I'm pretty sure they are self insured for wc as well. But just like with our health ins FedEx has more control over the whole process.
See above post.
The whole reason for being self insured is to control costs. The insurance companies are just administrators just like our health ins.
The same thing an insurance company does. Control costs and increase profits.
