[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 1176903, member: 22880"] Her biggest sin was getting caught in doing something that tarnishes the FedEx Brand. You'll notice in the FedEx apology - that they state they deliver something like 10 million packages a day. Express delivers only about one-third of that.... This was a tacit admission that the BRAND was tarnished (Express, Ground, the whole shooting works). With the MILLIONS that FedEx spends on building and maintaining its brand - some Courier which demonstrates all the hypocrisy of the marketing bull is going to get the full fury of Fred... When I was doing bulk pickups (loading through back), I'd place the larger/heavier pieces on the floor of the truck, then progressively 'shove' them further forward as more and more freight was loaded. The small light stuff, I'd give them a toss to the lower shelf - EVERYONE did this. No one would take the time to climb in and out of the truck over the bumper, to place small packages - just too much strain on the knees when there isn't a step assist available. Once the load was in the vehicle, THEN I'd rearrange IF I had further stops to perform. If it was my last stop - I would drive straight back to the station without worrying about the stuff in the back. Express didn't and doesn't provide cargo nets or the time to REALLY take care of the load properly. They got (and get) what they pay for. I'd have to say she did show a lack in judgment in tossing the packages overhand towards the front of the cargo area - I would've merely stacked them in the back, then after closing the rear door, gone around through the cab cargo door and rearranged the load. Her 'thumbs-up" she gave to the other guy after he joined in the package toss was probably what made FedEx decide to can her immediately. She was in NYC, so she most likely will still qualify for unemployment (the video may ruin her chances though). ALWAYS assume you are being monitored. There are cameras at customer's locations, cameras at the higher income resi addresses and people with smart phones EVERYWHERE that can and WILL record you doing anything they think is worthy of YouTube. WAD... it is the only defense you have. When your productivity falls - get a check ride and have the SPH adjusted. If you manager tells your to 'hurry up' - get an 'explanation' in writing or claim that you 'don't understand'. At this point, if a manager is trying to get you to work outside of WAD principles, fire off a letter to HR, and casually mention that you don't want to be video recorded doing something to meet a SPH goal which may 'hurt the good name of FedEx should it get recorded'. You'll be better protected than a female employee making an accusation of sexual harassment at this point.... [/QUOTE]
