[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 673427, member: 12508"] I've also been around for 20-plus years, and the employee usually [I]loses[/I] in either an Open Door or the GFT process. My information is necessarily anecdotal because FedEx doesn't publish statistics for either. My guess is it wouldn't look very good for them. That said, I actually do know someone who recently got their job back after a terminable offense, but that's pretty rare. Please tell me how a grievance process where management makes all the decisions is fair? Most of the time, the people I have known who've done either simply get the same policy quote thrown at them from each successive step of the food chain....and lose. I tried a GFT once after being suspended when a customer physically threatened me, and I walked-off the premises without picking-up their pkg. In my opinion, I shouldn't have to suffer the threat of personal injury when I go to attempt a pickup. Management upheld my suspension all the way to the top, and essentially said that no matter how crazy the customer is (and this one was nuts), you must pick-up the pkg. Fair? No. The next time I went to the same customer, he pulled the same exact crap, and I once again left without the pkg. When my manager called me into his office I simply dropped the business card of my attorney on his desk, turned around, and walked-out without saying a word. End of story. The GFT is worthless and completely biased in favor of management. Same for the stupid Open Door. Pure crap...both of them. [/QUOTE]
