[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1134306, member: 12508"] The manager in question undid himself with an alcohol-related act within the year. It was well-known he was an active alcoholic, as are more than a few other managers out there. Since you are unfamiliar with the environment at Express, let me enlighten you. You can and will be disciplined and/or fired for the smallest of violations, especially repeated small violations or one "big" one. What constitutes "big" is largely at the discretion of management. All it takes is for one person to call-in and say you told them to eff-off, flipped them off on the road or ogled them. None of it has to be even remotely true, and you can and will be seriously disciplined or fired. If you RTB before or after your scheduled time, you can be written-up. In fact, it's bewildering to even think of all the violations one can receive as a FedEx employee. That said, having some "insurance" is just being smart. I wish it didn't have to be this way, but it is. We have managers who don't even know policy applying it all the time, with disastrous results for good employees who try and do a decent job. This is why you need to document anything and everything you see that is inconsistent with policy. If Courier A, who is a major ass-kisser, doesn't get written-up for an incorrect RTB time, neither should you. That needs to be written down somewhere in a notebook. A picture or video is even better, and if you get an opportunity like I did, you take it. So do things like managers boffing hot female employees, accidents that get "forgotten" for certain people, and functional alcoholics who drink on company property and then try and nail you with some 2-bit violation of policy. My devoutly Christian senior manager had affairs with 3 separate women during a 2 year period, even when his wife was pregnant. Class act. I would use that information against him only if I had to, but I would definitely use it. I have several videos of our local ramp at peak that make the monitor-tosser of YouTube fame look like an amateur. I have video of an employee being hit by a 75# crate which was tossed over a 4-foot high mound of pkgs as a senior manager looks on.
