[QUOTE="Maui, post: 4487438, member: 45037"] It's often as much the region or district as MEM guiding the direction. I've managed a P&L and FedEx's FTE. I agree with you regarding the money, but even with a P&L there are productivity goals and costs associated with making or missing those goals. Everything gets measured and the expectations for managers at FedEx is very high. There are good and bad managers at FedEx like everywhere else. Who couriers think are good managers and who the Senior and MD think are good managers don't always align. IMO the MD guides the ship in US Ops more than anything. There are definitely times that local management disagrees with something, but it is their job to execute the plan. Sometimes there's room for variation and sometimes it is a clear directive. Discretion varies depending on the strategy. Couriers often don't see the big picture. They usually don't have all the information and that isn;'t their fault. They are the experts on their routes and the most knowledgable about many parts of the operation. Courier input is valuable in making decisions. [/QUOTE]
