[QUOTE="Five Star, post: 1177289, member: 48746"] Really? This is NEWS!? This happens thousands of times a day all over the country. I watch package handlers throwing computer boxes 10 feet over other packages every day during our stations reload operations. Managers walk by and never say a thing (actually, they prefer it because of the time-constraints they are under - throwing is more efficient than gently moving). This is the NEW-FedEx under the direction of Matthew Thornton. In the ol' days when I started, a manager would write you up immediately if they saw you doing as little as tossing a small package to another employee. Now, it is so common-place that no one thinks twice. FedEx (and UPS) know that of every 100 thrown packages, only a few will actually break, so they speed up the system at minimal cost to pay out claims. When you are told over and over that you will recieve a "Warning Letter" (3 letters gets you fired) if you get back to the station even a minute later than your goal, you really can't take the time to worry about what happens to the packages. Matt Thornton has threatened to fire managers if their couriers do not meet stringent productivity goals. Sorry customers, but you are not our main concern anymore! But why is this news? If it is, it is "old news"! [/QUOTE]
