[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 1124414, member: 22880"] You're wondering to what degree MT3 and Associates will make themselves look good at the expense of station level management???? There's plenty of room under the bus for both the Couriers and station level management in the eyes of Memphis. District level managers and Senior managers were given their marching orders a few months ago. Get on board with the plans coming out of Memphis and implement them without reservation, or find other employment. They knew that they were being asked to sell their souls yet again to keep their jobs. Right now, the objective being sought is an increase in stock price - more specifically to get Express to contribute more towards getting FedEx stock to increase even higher. If Memphis has to toss a few station level managers under the bus to achieve that goal - they won't lose any sleep over that. There are plenty of potential replacements out there who would be more than willing to follow directions from Memphis. 'Work as directed" doesn't apply to just the Couriers. Those who chose to stay, know what they are facing. As I wrote in another thread, most mangers are PRAYING for the whole delivery appointment scheme to fall flat on its face. There is a severe disconnect about to happen in operational procedure. DRA (which micromanages EVERY aspect of a Courier's work) is being pushed despite all the problems, while at the same time a program which will require Couriers to be proactive and anticipate a daily change in routine (delivery appointments) is being simultaneously implemented. How are station managers supposed to meet any sort of productivity requirement, when they are faced with the competing requirements to have Couriers follow a pattern dictated by a computer program, while simultaneously breaking pattern to meet the goals of a completely differing operational objective? Then, how are they to manage on-road hours, when they are faced with the potential of sending out additional routes in the evening with no real additional 'stops' being generated? (The stops are merely being taken off traditional delivery routes and placed onto NEW routes, station productivity by definition will DECLINE). How are they going to manage the overtime and directly link it to implementation of delivery appointments and not be held accountable for an increase in overtime hours (which are budgeted)? Schizophrenia doesn't begin to characterize what is about to happen. [/QUOTE]
