[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 739699, member: 12508"] There is so much illegal crap that has gone on at FedEx and still goes on despite them being terrified of lawsuits. I won't bore you with more stories, but suffice it to say that I've seen plenty of managers (and above) tell injured people to work, lie like a rug about it, or otherwise break the law. TRW is a joke, and to make someone come-in who probably isn't feeling up to it or making them lift beyond their doctor-imposed weight limit is just plain wrong. It's just another way for them to pressure you back to work, and if they are short-handed behind the counter, why not put that "lazy" injured courier to productive duty lugging pkgs to the cart? Sure, there are some slackers who milk it or are just faking but most people are genuinely hurt. The reality is that injured people work every day at FedEx because the system forces them to do so. Under current policy, it's always going to be your "fault", and few are willing to fight what they know will be a losing battle. So you work hurt, and then the injury hopefully gets better. Some couriers I know never report the injury and get treatment on their own to avoid the system. Your comments on the manager who had you under 35 hrs and falsified are classic. If Memphis really wanted to look at what's really going on, most of them would be canned pronto. There is so much falsification out there right now, especially pertaining to fake breaks and doing pickups during 13/14 time (and processing them later) that management knows about and fully tolerates because it makes [I]their [/I]numbers look good. How about it, FedEx2000. Got any couriers who are doing pickups during 13/14, or using bogus PowerPad exceptions to avoid lates on P1? I'll bet you do, and I'm guessing you just look the other way.
