I only have 2.5 years here and I am over 40 but can keep up with the best of the young workers. I DO know that they make up stuff as they go, I have heard also that they "edit" parts of FedEx policies to suit their needs before handing them out to the employees. I really think that FedEx needs to be on the same level of play with UPS as far a labor laws is concerned. It is tough to get up and going to work when you have to come in and face these dictators they call managers, they focus on how you can lose your job, not encourage you to get ahead. There is ZERO moral in my organization, ZERO.
That's the problem when you don't have a legitimate grievance policy or a union to protect you from unjust harassment, intimidation, and/or termination. FedEx pretty much does as it pleases, and that's exactly the way they like it. This is another big reason for them to fight to keep the RLA. Even if you can afford a lawyer, FedEx and it's army of lawyers can afford to wait you out, hoping you'll give-up before your money runs out. The best bet is to find an attorney who will work on a contingency basis. He/she will take their cut, but only if you win, and FedEx can't starve you out before it gets to trial.
And you're right about the total lack of morality at Fedex...there is absolutely none. The policies are written so they can be interpreted in multiple ways, all of which can and will get you disciplined or fired. This is why they make you sign-off on all of the policies, so when you sue them they can point to your forced signature and say that you "understood the policy". A judge or jury will probably interpret that as to mean that you tacitly agreed to the policy, even if it is chock-full of double standards and management loopholes. P-S-P= Policy Screwing People.
