There's no reason why they shouldn't.

They have meetings about nothing all day… and make couriers absorb sick call routes. They manage the pizza budget. And take 4 months to approve boot reimbursement. They drag their feet with hiring then ask if you’ll work your off day. They deserve it…

The nerve, making couriers run package delivery routes!

If the job is so easy and the money is so good, why don't the loudmouths on this board sign up?

Huge if true

Lame response.

Isn't it supposed to be an incentive for some spurious metrics?

Non-responsive to the question, it was no response. @59 Dano exhibited he had no reasons to offer. Take another shot at it dano.

The job is easy. They do nothing. A FedEx manager manages a workgroup that’s not even in the building. With dispatchers that handle 90% of all on road issues while they’re gone. We’re understaffed & If we have too many on vacation, our manager just pays $2K a day to contract the route out. Nobody in the company uses workday so OLCC’s have screeched to a halt. No driver at my building has had a check ride in about 8 years. Which were pointless anyway since our managers don’t have class A CDL’s so they have no idea what we’re doing behind the wheel. We rarely fill out VIR’s & VTR’s… nothing is said. Haven’t turned in a fuel receipt in months… nothing is said. Half the RTD’s don’t sign into the webtechs… nothing is said. Haven’t had a meeting in years. Nobody is reminded about overdue training. DOT medical cards expire. This place doesn’t care about much anymore. My manager spends most of his day pacing through the building and smoking by the picnic table.

Nothing wrong with having a good smoke.

Yeah there is.

Uh, like if they suck at being a manager.

Sad but true, like all employees there are good and bad managers. The good ones get burnt out when they see the crappy ones getting similar raise, similar bonus for doing nothing when they are doing their best. A lot of them end up moving the wrong way after awhile of seeing that year after year.

No.

You missed post after post after post of the people here who said they'd never do it because the job is so grueling and the stress is so high.

I'll say it again. If the job was easy, the loudmouths would do it.

 

[floridays]

No.

Exactly what is the bonus, if given based on?

Are manager bonus's based on individual merit or a selected across the board percentage?

Legitimate question, I may not know the answer.

That’s the problem, the loud mouths are doing it. Thanks for making our point loud mouth.

Also just because a job is easy doesn’t mean I want to be at the building 12 hours a day, doing nothing, not getting paid overtime….

 

[abused.crr]

Every meeting I’ve ever had with a senior mgr… you’re lucky to have a job, the company isn’t making money, we’re an airline not a trucking company, why in the world would you wanna be topped out, unions will hurt you not help you, pilots deserve 100% free healthcare, have another premaid frozen beef patty burger.

 

[zeev]

Your not organized you get nothing,pilots don’t deserve anything they negotiated it. FedEx is an old school trucking company.

Yet you sty a courier.......why not become a manager and 'take it easy' for the rest of you time there?
