It should be obvious that FedEx has declared open warfare on the employee. That's nothing new, but it's reached a new level of ridiculous, and you need to protect yourself. I know that I have talked about this before, but it bears repeating. DOCUMENT everything you can. Take pictures, get airbill numbers, and record meetings where managers say things that might incriminate them. If you can't figure out how to record it on your smartphone, take names, times, and dates where management breaks policy, encourages breaking policy, or puts employees into situations where you know they have to "cheat" to get it done.
When you get suspended pending termination, or are terminated and are seeking unemployment...be prepared for the fight of your life. FedEx will use every bit of information they have against you, and will dig-up anything and everything to use against you. If you don't believe me, talk to anyone who has been up against FedEx.
They are actively on the hunt for you, so do the smart thing and get as much information as you can to protect yourself. Dirt is good, and most managers have some. So is unequal discipline. For example, at my station, certain couriers drive around the station with a Bluetooth on, even though cellular communication is strictly forbidden by company policy. Even managers do it as they drive out of the lot, presumably on the phone. Think they'd use that against you if they needed to? You bet. Wouldn't it be great to have a picture or video of your manager on the phone while driving in this situation?
There is so much you can do to protect yourself and have some "insurance", but only if you are smart. Be smart.
