If you don't have any work available.
Whether it is due to improvement in ASR, etc. etc., (song and dance here), there are too many fingers in the pie.
I don't see how any company can hold employees hostage to get 40 hours when the employees have scheduled work times and there is nothing for them to do in their *scheduled* hours...they are told to *flex*, then they *flex* to other days and there is still no work.
It's like being on-call....be available 24/7 because they *may* need you, with no compensation.
I'm part time, dropped to 30 hrs because I cut the umbilical cord, and still there is no work. So here's my FLEX - I'm not working today, period. I've been at my station 5 days this week with no work in the mornings and ate that, so this morning again with NSA I think I'll go sailing.
