But what if it causes a plane to delay? If I needed to call GOC or MOCC from anywhere in the galactic empire, on my cell phone in the cockpit, instead of tap, tap, tapping on a geriatric glass screen that is Enterprise-era technology, they won't reimburse my international (or galactic) charge?
Fix it so the freight moves faster. For the sake of our customers and stock holders, fix this nonsense. Penny wise. Pound foolish.
Who was looking out for Fred's interests on the other side of the table? Phone calls to work numbers should be reimbursable except for blithering idiots who leave the phone off the hook.
Santa might come to town with a shiny new TA.
I might be missing something in this thread. If the company is not going to reimburse you for something work related, why are you doing it? At last look, FedEx is a multi-BILLION dollar company. That's billion with a "b". We, the workers, and yes we are just another worker to management, are fiscally less endowed. Why would I use my meager personal assets for company benefit without the possibility of repayment?
The means to do my job are provided by the company. If they are not, do not do it. Quite simple actually.
