Set him straight then, don't give the little hit and run shuck and jive. I'll go read his post now.You don't know what you're talking about.

Give it a try, neither of your stories are compelling.I don't have to prove you wrong, as you can't prove you're right.
Exactly what is your measurement of a quality courier?QUALITY courier input is valuable in making decisions.

If your proof that it's correct is simply because you say so, then my proof that it's wrong is simply because I say so.
Regardless, if you think op managers are bad, you oughta put up with couriers who think they know more than ops managers!
A rank earned through tenure and completion of the AIM brainwashing program, not merit or credentials of any kind.I got it now.
You think ops managers are smarter than couriers simply by rank, by position.

Most of them do.Regardless, if you think op managers are bad, you oughta put up with couriers who think they know more than ops managers!
I would like to know what exactly it is that he thinks these managers know. By his own admission, they aren't even allowed the responsibility of managing dollars and cents. Someone else figured out the monetary correlation between revenue and stops per hour for them and that's what they're allowed to touch. It sounds kind of like how McDonald's has a picture of a head of lettuce on the key in case the cashiers can't read the word "l-e-t-t-u-c-e."Most of them do.
Makes sense, but I stand by the analogy. A cashier should be able to type efficiently similarly to how an ops manager making close to six figures should be able to handle actually MANAGING money.They put pictures to speed up the order process.

It’s that damn common core crap they’re teaching in schools now.There is a pizza place in the same plaza as one of the tax offices that I work at. They sell slices of cheese pizza for $2.50. I ordered one slice and handed her $10. She had to use the calculator to figure out the change. No, I'm not kidding.
Makes more sense to measure productivity in $/hr rather than stops/hr.
After all, profit is measured in dollars.
To respond to a previous question and post.
If you lose 3000 pieces a week again, where is the salesman, it is his job to retain customers of that magnitude.
Pertaining to your lost revenue as a station, look to the salesman again.
Pertaining to hours, exactly why wasn't this bulk pickup serviced by a courier/handler?
3000 pieces, depending on type could be handled in 3 to 30 minutes.
Docs bags with con tags
larger boxes, shrink wrapped on pallets before you ever show
Are you sure you have ever managed a thing?
Let's have a discussion, call your boss for answers.

Thank God. The doors and windows to every station would have been boarded up years ago if they had ever taken the training wheels off of 99% of those “managers.”LOL, it's not their job to manage the station's revenue, nor should it be.
Why is it such an issue to you that an ops manager manage actual money?
Instead, they hire any sap willing to complete the AIM program and sign away their life to the company.We all know that at the end of the fiscal year FedEx tightens the screws on all spending -- no uniforms, no paper towels/toilet paper, supplies, etc to save every penny so the company looks good. It's so important they drill it into all of the hourly employees every year. Yet they will bring someone in on their day off to work OT just to keep someone else from getting an hour of OT.
This company steps over dollars to pick up dimes all the time and we all see it. If FedEx hired competent managers, gave them an honest budget and then held them accountable you might see some amazing results.
I didn't blame the salesman, I simply asked where he was.I asked whomever about how he'd adjust his operation to compensate for that. Your answer is to blame the salesman.
Daft.
