So lately management at my office has been scheduling carriers without POVs on POV routes forcing them to call out excessively (which is great for me because I actually have a POV)....
But they've been keeping me off the schedule and then basically using me on an on-call basis except my primary route (which is sort of annoying, but whatever.)
Yesterday evening before I left, I asked the supervisor if I should expect to get a call tomorrow (this morning)... she looked at the schedule and saw we had a vacant POV route and said YES, DEFINITELY.
So this morning, I get up, get ready and get to the office at 7:30AM expecting to get a call.
8:00AM rolls around and I still haven't heard anything, so I call into the office and ask if they need me. The fill-in station manager says no, all routes are covered.
So I text around and find out who's on the open POV route.... who happens to be a carrier with no POV.
I text her, and basically ask her if she actually had a POV, and in short her response was "no a city carrier is coming back early today so I'm going to take an LLV and give everyone else a loop off of it."
Aaaaand meanwhile I'm sitting around at home with a functional POV not working.
Do you guys think I have a case for a grievance here?
I'd also like to note that management here has taken me off the schedule entirely if my POV needed repairs, and I haven't had a full paycheck in a month and half after the last debacle where they kept me out of work for 3 weeks so I'm getting a little stingy with my hours.
Any input would be much appreciated )
