[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 808648, member: 12508"] Working for FedEx means [I]always[/I] working on the company's terms. If people call-in sick, the usual remedy is to collapse the surrounding routes if nobody is available. Sometimes, management does this anyway, even when a body [I]is[/I] available, to cut costs. They know that a lot of couriers will fake a lunch, cut corners on safety, or drive like Mario Andretti to get the job done. Sometimes managers are forced to do a route, which is Hell for them because they get to play courier AND deal with all of their management duties. This happens anyway when there are too many couriers over hours, so the manager takes one for the team, and the senior makes goal. It's all about the numbers. If your numbers are right, you can be Genghis Khan, and nobody in upper management will say a thing. If they're not, better start planning for your next job. [/QUOTE]
