OOW? Just simply "flex" your hours. - sosickandtired

Posted: Aug 21, 2013

I absolutely hate when I am told to just "flex" my hours. I have contracted for work within a particular time frame. If no work is available during that time it is not a simple matter of just "flexing" my time. My life is not that "flexible". I have kids, husband, house, school to deal with sweetie. Try to not over hire so many MTs to get that awesome TAT. Try to not send our work overseas to save a few cents. How about that waiting time pay sweetie? Does that not apply when we are told to "flex" our precious time? You are an ignorant and selfish piece of work aren't you? But then you get a salary don't you sweetie? No hourly BS or cpl BS for you huh? No worries for you as long as your minions just simply "flex" their time. The only thing I am "flexing" for you is one of my fingers.

Yesterday they were demanding we commit - to work OT

Today they are saying, oooooh, it's a little slow, move to your secondary, and if they're OOW also, well then, flex. My A$$.

I know right? and then they out right lie to you. - dixie

and tell you "oh, we don't overhire, haven't hired forever on your account" or "we don't send anything from that account overseas". BS. Who do they think they are fooling? Only makes TSM look like an idiot.

And yet, if you work outside your shift by choice, - theyll jump right down your throat! nm

What do you all do when you are OOW? Do you flex and come back later in the day, flex to a different day of the pay week, use your PTO, or take time off without pay? I usually flex and make up later in day or another day, but really getting tired of that, but need the money, even as little as it is these days. Makes for very long days, as you all know. Starting out working first shift and then having work to midnight is awful. Besides, do not feel right about cutting into other peop ...

I was just reading over at the Department of Labor website. It seems to me that many MTSOs have changed the original meaning of "flex time"for employees. Used to be that we had X hours in a day to work our schedule. (example: 12 hours flexible time to work 7 hours). Suddenly, it is now 8 hours to work 8 hours with strict adherence. So, one might say this is done in office jobs. But when I worked in an office for many years, we were on the clock for everyt ...

Does Nuance offer flex time? I work for Accentus and they're very flexible when it comes to when I have to work; nobody says anything as long as I produce, whether I get on a 6 am, off at 7, on again at 9, off at 2, on again at 7 off 9, etc. I'm going to have a huge problem if there's no flexibility in my schedule. ...

Every week there is at least 1 whole day where I have every no work on either account or only 1 hour's worth of work. Supposedly they are looking into giving me a third account.
