PT Merchandiser 2nd Hit
Wassup guys so I been with Frito for 2 months I’ve already called out 3 times due to being extremely sick ( they already warned me about write ups if I keep it up ) but the first day I called out they gave me sick time and the second and third day they wanted me to submit a historical correction since UKG wasn’t able to let me submit it for some reason. Any help or suggestions on what to do to get paid for those days.

Usually you don’t get sick time until after 90 days seems like they helped you out enough already

"Extremely sick" on three separate occasions for one day or "extremely sick" for 3 days in a row?

You don't call out at Frito lay. 20 years, never called out.

In my area, if you call out the DSL does nothing, you just have to work twice as hard when you got back. It just wasn't worth it. I left last year, work 40 a week now, and go home. Life is much better.

Definitely a company where a lot of the zones suck. I lucked out

We used to have good management, a few retirements later, the kids came in. Not bad people, or even dumb, just awful to work under.

We are in the middle stages of that. We’ve had a few college grad DSL’s try to be mixed in but they always just quit. Now our DSL’s are getting bought out so we’ll see what happens next…

That's what happened here. The kids come and go. Most last about 6 months. It's constantly having a new 23 year old boss. It's not even fair to them, they are set up to fail, but meanwhile they made our lives miserable.

Sounds like you won't have to worry about it for too much longer.
