It doesn't always have to be about money. I already know I'm going to be doing fine in retirement, there will be no need for me to continue working for money when I can contribute to my community in a positive way and allow someone in the work force to have those hours I would be taking.
He can't comprehend that concept. He's too selfish.
If the station is shorthanded and needs everyone they can get, how are you taking hours from someone else. We have 10 swings and allow 8 couriers off on vacation. We have those 8 couriers off next week plus 4 more on Jury Duty. Whose hours are you taking? Casuals allow us to run a normal operation and even allowed an extra couple of people off for Spring Break that normally wouldn't be allowed otherwise.
Suite yourself. I see it with my own eyes several times a month and have discussions with my SM several times a year about me doing that very thing when I retire. Maybe people that have been told the program no longer exists are not worth the trouble involved to put them back to work. They are TOO busy memorizing the RLA WORD FOR WORD.
Yep. Helping the company and my coworkers out when they are short handed is a classic case of being selfish.
So you are gonna volunteer 2080 hrs per year to improve your community when you retire? Why not help the people you worked with all those years when they need a hand? Sounds like you are too selfish to come to their aid.
Lol. We all know you won't be doing it to help anyone but yourself.
I'm sure he'd rather help those who can't help themselves in his community.
Win win. I make splurge money. Janet gets to take her kids to Disney World on Spring Break. Without casuals and because Janet does not have the seniority to get off for Spring Break, little Johnny would not get to visit Disney until mom moves up the seniority ladder.
If I'm retired, why would I volunteer 2080 hours a year??? When I retire, I'm going to take it easy. I've been working since I was ten. I think by 65, I deserve to lay back and relax. I said, if I feel the need to do something, I'll volunteer somewhere. That doesn't mean I'll do it full time, maybe once or twice a week.
Simple. If I'm working, that's time I am taking from someone else in the workforce. Perhaps you luckily live in an area with low unemployment but where I am, unemployment is high.
You are gonna work until you are 65 and you criticize me? Why work so long? You say you have been working since you were 10 and you have to work till 65? Sounds like someone didn't properly prepare for their future.
Retirement age is 65, here. I may retire early, I may not. We'll see when the time comes.
Not sure you completely understand. I don't care what you think. As with many of your opinions, you are wrong. The program exists in my station. I have no idea if other stations utilize this option. I don't spend my days reading the RLA or studying what happens at other stations or at other companies within Fedex. I deal in facts and personal experience. Most on here deal in myth and speculation.
Just hit my 60's. Just giving him some of his own medicine. You can criticize me and say I don't know anything about you. Meanwhile when I make posts about things that are true and factual, I am called names. Pot meet kettle.
Where did I criticize you? You made a comment and I made a post quoting that comment. You chose to reply. That's how meeage boards usually work. You're the one who made the backhanded remark, quelle suprise.
I think the common thread is oldfart, he can't help himself, just has to spread his misery.Am I gonna have to start a separate thread for you guys, too? Sheesh.
