So a returning fourloughee tried to come back while still working for Fedex? That seems dumb since united will probably report it back to Fedex and now that jobs in trouble.

Right.

Granted, the parameters/boundries of what falls into an HPI pass has been a moving target as the selection process gets honed and tweaked.

One of those guys that had his wife over his shoulder and failed it was successful and hired the second time around.

The crappy part is, that first HPI unsat has cost him about 3 years.

The wags suggested TK stood for Training Kingdom.
Thanks! I was thinking Turkish Airlines as TK is the IATA code for them, but it didn’t fit in the context of the post.

The rumor around tk is that it did cost him his fedex job. He didn’t show for day 1 but was in the double tree. United Hr calls and asks if he’s planning to come in to day 1 if indoc. He says he has had a change of heart and will not be coming in. United tells him he needs to come in and sign resignation paperwork then. He does and leaves. Apparently fedex got wind that he was hired by United and fedex terminates him. The next day he calls United HR and asks them if they can pretend the resignation never happened.

So, it appears he has no job now.

I personally think the personality tests are bs because people will either lie on them or discover they’re flawed. I had to do one for a grad school course and I showed the results to family, friends, and previous managers and they all laughed and said that’s not me.

Agree, but it's HR's house and HR's rules.

"hate the game".

My understanding is he was a new hire. Called in sick at fedex to go to class at UAL. Problem is he was on probation at fedex still and they found out.
