![]() ![]() I'd still recommend showing interest in working with the flex traffic once you feel your picking game is 100%. Or maybe your station will be more organized than mine and give you the blue badge before you actually need it :) Then after a week or two, you'll show up to work one day and the won't be able to badge in at the door, because your blue badge has arrived and your white one has been deactivated. You'll use the same jobs hub, they'll send you the same automated e-mails, and the only difference will be that you won't have to do the new hire orientation day / drug testing again, even though the e-mails will say you will. The process for conversion is pretty much the same as if you were applying as a new employee. I believe the next opportunity for converting to permanent status will be at the end of January. I just stay late and work hard, and the managers are fine with that as long as I'm being useful. I'm a part-time blue badger with a 20 hour schedule, but easily can get 30 on a normal week just by staying late to support flex, and during peak have gone up to 55 hours by my own choice. Things may be different at yours, but either way showing them that you're driven and capable enough to be a good ambassador will help you move up. It depends on your performance and how things are run at your station. Some move to permanent ambassador from there, some go straight to operations. At my station no one gets a desk job without putting time in as a learning ambassador first. Do a good job with flex and it's an easy path to ambassador. It will also make you more known to the managers, who will see you showing interest in mastering everything you can. Being able to assist with flex will give you the option to stay late when you want to, as well as give you the means to always work your full shift without being pressured to VTO when things slow down after peak. Just ask the people on flex what you can do to help or ask someone if they mind you shadowing them, and learn the basics of flex running, check-ins, and so on from there. I'd highly recommend showing interest in dealing with flex traffic anytime things get slow and you run out of things to pick and sort. ![]() I think you'll mostly be doing a combination of picking and staging routes for vans and early flex and doing sort. They will probably have you flexing up an hour for at least the next couple weeks too. If your delivery station is anything like mine, then for that shift it's unlikely you'll be sent home early any time during peak. ![]()
