What do you say when you call out sick?

[10 Pt]

Just tell the (a) PM OMS that you'll be out of service for the next day(s) when you are punching out. Saves the time and stress of talking to the PDS or whoever takes your call in the AM.

Nope. Unless already scheduled off, we are required to call that morning and to speak only to a FT sup.

That's your problem. Not ours.

Please show me where it says it's OK to talk an OMS clerk when calling in sick.

Ok Joe Union, show me where it says that it's not ok.
There's no OMS "clerk" here. We have several OMS ('S' stand for supervisor) positions. None are clerks.
You have no language to support your assertion unless it pertains to your local, area, rider.
Please post your article to support your claim.

You don't work in ours either so don't "Nope" us. A new strain of Teamster: hybrid USNY Teamster.

Real men talk to a ft sup. Others wussy out and talk to a part timer.

Real men don't give a who they talk to, hourlies aren't manning the phones, only management.

Oms is considered a "management" person so that should be sufficient enough to pass the info along.. the only reason they want you to talk to a ft sup is to try to intimidate you from not calling out.. fact.

Half ass teamster??

This is so and so, I'm taking myself out of service for personal reasons. I will call you when I'm coming back in. Bye

If I know it is only for a day, I tell them I am taking myself out of service for personal reasons and will be in tomorrow.

This saves having to call and put yourself back in service the next day.

As I said, in my center we are required to talk to either an on car, PDS (who is also an on car) or center manager when we call in "asking" for the day off. If we try to do this through the OMS, primarily because none of the above are available, they will immediately call us back.

"I'm sick today and I won't be in". Usually followed by "what's wrong with you?". Always followed by "I'm not a doctor and I won't be in".

 

[upschuck]

Whoever answers the phone is the one I talk too. They answer the phone they have authority to take message
