2/11 Memphis ice

[MassWineGuy]

We have a start time of 1120. WTF??? How can we run a business like this? I have a company still waiting on their paychecks from last week. These are people living paycheck to paycheck. Even FedEx people are waiting on paychecks from last week. This is getting ridiculous now. They told us yesterday morning that staffing in Memphis is at 70%. Where is everyone else? Snow is melted. What is the problem now with staffing?

How do not get your check if you have direct deposit?

 

[Fred's Myth]

Just wondering how many of you guys have to call station voicemail every AM for your start time? Im at my 4th station, this is the only 1 where we go by a schedule and go to a delay if freights late.

Discontinued here 2 years ago.

They let us know the day before to the best of their knowledge. If they fail to let us know the day before, we just punch in as scheduled and go into a 43.

FedEx still has some employees who opt for live checks and not DD.

Our checks/statements from last week arrived this morning.

our managers "seem" to have not a clue.

So things are back to normal is what you’re saying?

Um........ I thought that practice was discontinued companywide?

An unprecedented weather event is going to cause unprecedented problems. The hub was running out of place to put inbound freight and it led to ramps backing up with outbound freight. Going to take a few days.

Really??????

Apparently it doesn’t apply in some places or no one has fought it yet. I’m tired of fighting. I’ll let someone else take this one.

So what is your take on these call in lines and on call employees?

Yeah, snow qualifies as an “unprecedented weather event” lmaoo. How come you don’t apply the same fake tough guy “suck it up” persona to FedEx that you do to everything else?

All of the 10+ stations in our market still use Call Notes, at least that is what I think it is called. Call Notes is used year round and is not just a weather related thing.

No...we have never used Call Notes.

I've had direct deposit since day 1. No reason not to. If you use FECCA, you get paid Wednesdays.

I’ve been retired for seven years now. Still feel sorry for you guys. Sounds like it’s gone from bad to worse.

What a cluster friend.

Don't feel bad. It's not bad for everyone. I've been leaving the building with about 20 stops less than normal AND I get to drop my P1 in another guys P2 area

[It will be fine]

Just got notice Express is going to divert more volume to the Ground network for a few days to help catch you guys up. You’re welcome.

I heard the same thing as well. This should be very interesting.
