Read the post again slick
In a busy manhattan station , Veteran Couriers that use drop bulky stops out of laziness to the part timer so they can “make it”, are now begging for work. manager pulling stops from
guys that got daily ot .. its getting ugly and they finding it very hard to give these guys 35. fulltimers starting to fight over who gets the stop....any we havent been hit with last mile yet for our residential stops.
any fulltimer that wants to go home early gets immediately accommodated no questions asked. Even on the road.
im seeing new hires getting sent home
everyday right after the cans. idk y they were hired in the first place . Ups runs staffing shorter than plan outside peak all the time. Guess fedex express thought it was different
i cant tell if they are going all fulltimer heavy model or everyone part time model .
they should have pursued union instead of listen to some bs pep talk from
people that would sell u out for a bonus or dividend. These poor 60yr souls thought everything was smooth sailing ...now the company wants ur a zz out asap

He asked how Fedex could walk it back. That’s my response

IMO I think they would love an all part time work force.
It will be fine

This exactly. Even on road the Express drivers are a miserable lot. Most won’t even talk to you. UPS drivers are in general much nicer and more helpful.

Maybe because Express couriers are tired of hearing complaints from customers about Ground’s poor service, unprofessionalism, bad hygiene etc. Think that might be it?
It will be fine

I don’t really care why they are miserable SOBs. I just know that in general they are and I take pleasure in knowing their organization is dissolving to my personal gain.

Your customers still ain’t gonna look up to you any better. We’ll see how you handle the heat since you’ve barely stepped into the kitchen.
We’ll be watching.

Zapmail 2020. Ha! That’s freakin’ hilarious!
Looks like It Will Be Fine is gonna have much less time for video games and scratching his ass while laying on the couch all day. C’mon! Let’s go...chop, chop!
Good to hear I am not the only one hearing complaints of Ground drivers that smell bad.
