After seeing a flyer on Monday announcing that this is employee appreciation week at our station, I found out that the SFA happens next week. What a crazy coincidence!
I am not an ops manager.Dezguy, you’re an ops manager? It must be incredibly challenging on many fronts.
I know that if a mgr scores low enough they have to attend a class in employee relations. That’ll fix it.
At my station, we’re back to waiting around until someone comes off road with a vehicle.

Reported as personal attack.Didn’t mean any offense.
Low score and off you go to the Fedex Mind Control And Reeducation Academy. One of the long standing shortcomings of that company is that they seem to have a hard time accepting people for what they are.It just goes to show you how pathetic upper management is by still pushing these SFA’s. They were a joke 10 years ago. Nothing is ever resolved by these. Any follow up to these SFA’s are now extremely brief where your manager gets up in front of a work group and hogs the whole 20 minutes allotted to supposedly solve a years worth of ongoing issues. A complete waste of time and money.
It seems to have worked on dano!Low score and off you go to the Fedex Mind Control And Reeducation Academy. One of the long standing shortcomings of that company is that they seem to have a hard time accepting people for what they are.
We used to regularly have managers who scored in the 40s and 50s on their SFAs, and that's exactly what happened. They were sent off to Memphis to learn to lie more effectively, drink even more Kool-Aid, and spread the misguided gospel of PSP. The managers who learned to "play the system" were pretty much hands-off, and they learned to let a lot of misdeeds and lack of performance just slide by. There were a few 80s and even 90s managers too, who were actually good at their jobs and appreciated for it. All of them moved on to other companies.Low score and off you go to the Fedex Mind Control And Reeducation Academy.

Hey managers, in just a few short years by enrolling in the FedEx Mind Control And Reeducation Academy, you too can become a well known Memphis shill just like Dano. Imagine the thrill of playing Whack-A-Mole on social media sites vigorously defending and confusing the issues of a company who’s ethics and business practices are on the same level as a tankful of sewage. Enrollment is limited so crash and burn on the next SFA and we’ll see ‘ya there!Low score and off you go to the Fedex Mind Control And Reeducation Academy.

They should try the medals program they implemented at ground.
All that work at the academy yields the following cliches from management: “It is what it is,” “be thankful you’re not doing___,” and last but not least, “I’ll look into it and get back to you.” Learn to recite these on a rotation, and you’re a manager!We used to regularly have managers who scored in the 40s and 50s on their SFAs, and that's exactly what happened.

Perhaps they should rename the SFA as "FedEx McMuffin and Donut Award Week", because that's usually what happens. Your manager acts human for 2 weeks and plies you with trinkets and crap food.
Pathetic.
