How many Dex 1's is your station having already?
Seems like a tremendous spike year over year in our station and district.
I see two reasons.
One is they cut so many routes people just can't handle the volume.
Second is no one really gives a crap anymore because of the way we have been treated the last few years, dwindling benefits, elimination of the pension plan, ridiculously low raises with record profits.
What do you all want to add?
Right on the money. They have cut too far, but nobody in Memphis seems to get it. See my other post about the way the stations aren't communicating with the ramps and vice-versa. I think they are discovering what many of us have been saying for a long time, and that is the fact that you can't pluck someone off the street and expect them to do the courier job with any decent level of effectiveness. They are also finding-out that anyone who has been around for more than a few years is wise to their antics. Most people are not buying into the PR and Kool-Aid campaigns and know that Memphis is nothing but a lie factory. They finally realize that Fred & Friends are out to enrich themselves at their expense. Why do anything over and above when you are having your hours cut even as volume is spiking? My station is having hundreds of Code 1's per day...and nobody cares except for management. Hell, they're all out on the road...also bringing back DEX 01's.
The absolute incompetence of FedEx upper management is amazing. "The Plan" is still underway even though it's obvious that it isn't working. Frankly, I'm loving watching it fall apart. If peak turns out to be an abortion, and it's really looking that way, do you think any heads will roll come January?
MT3 and his buddies are effing-it up big time, and they'll probably be rewarded with higher bonuses and pay packages despite totally messing-up the operation.
What goes around comes around, and they're about to be served a heaping dose of their own brilliance. This is going to go down as the most effed-up peak ever. Thanks for all of the entertainment Mr. Happy Hands. They'll be wiggling around a lot this month.
