Yep. At FedEx, you can add-in getting sick and/or injued as well. It doesn't matter if you blowout a knee or have a stroke....FedEx wants you gone. Just do everything by the book and never get sick or hurt. Easy, right?
You are so right about this MF. A good friend at work got injured on the job several months ago. She has been a courier for 22 1/2 years. Well, her injury ended up requiring arthroscopy surgery on her knee, this after several weeks of conservative treatment with PT. So far, she has been out almost 5 months and been displaced. What's really sad and discouraging for her is that after all this time, not even once her manager or SM had called to see how she was doing, if she needed anything, ask about the surgery outcome, etc. When one's under the weather, a touch of concern from someone can go a long, long way, it's human nature. What's even funnier is that "the manager's required to stay in touch and make contact with the employee on a regular basis", this per company's disability documents she received from MEM. But our managers don't give a squat. When it relates to the employee's human aspect, management can care less for an injured, rehabilitating employee, regardless is company policy or not. To them, if you aren't in and productive, you are garbage. No wonder none of us believes anymore their PSP philosophy crap, claiming they put "People First". That's a fallacy. We are just a number, sometimes a negative one, nothing else.
FedEx Cares!
