Any New Firings/Layoffs/News?

I’d rather get fired and collect unemployment than the tawdry severance. If they just suddenly give you a warning letter, you could claim that you got no previous complaints about your work, then WHAM! OLCC? Nope. Job performance improvement letter? Nope. Just the final step in the hierarchy, a warning letter. Their lack of documentation would be why they lose any appeal.

The only thorn I put in mgt’s side is the trouble I have getting a LEO to open drop boxes. Sometimes both methods work. Sometimes just one. Often, nothing works except the code. I’m told that no one else has this happen. But my mgr has come out, seen me use the correct procedures and saw the box not open.

Check your state employment laws. Here in CA you can collect both.

We were told by our director it’s “business as usual.” And any sort of thing like this is years away from our market. Of course no one believes it.

Right. I remember being told that the TNT implementation would be successfully completed by early 2017.

 

[Fedexcellent]

No

Who knows what stations/markets are the most likely to go. One would have to think some of the very heavy metropolitan areas like DFW might be the more unlikely to switch over entirely, but that's a bit of hopeful thinking. There's a lot of population growth happening in the metropolex and that might not make sense to merge areas like that.

So far most of the stations have been in the more smaller cities/areas. Jackson, MS is kind of the big outlier so far, but I don't think that's an area that's gaining population and it was only a few hours from the Memphis hub by truck.

They know who is next couriers will be the last to know , plan is keep taking benefits away and buy more yard signs on how great the employees are.

And that cost tons of money. Still not really a fluid thing.

 

[MassWineGuy]

They’re still losing money on the TNT mistake.

Yesterday I received in the mail a company propaganda foldout touting how good and important its health benefits are. That’s a sure sign of big changes ahead.

FedEx loves telling people how great they are actually delivering it another story, kinda like their packages.

We had a director come to our station telling the couriers that they should go and become contractors at Ground. Go and be the man instead of working for the man is how he put it. Told us we had at least 24 to 36 months left here.

Too bad it's nowhere near as simple as your director is trying to make you believe it is.

 

[It will be fine]

I guess the Facebook ads aren’t bringing in enough new contractors.

I’m sure they’ll be plenty of takers. Lol

 

[MassWineGuy]

Maybe that’s what the director will do.

I tip my hat to your director for being honest with you! Most are denying everything!

My state requires 60 days advance with the Warn Act. That’s your only help

Perhaps your director has bad credit so he wants you to go out and borrow a reservoir full of money, buy a bunch of routes then he can come work for you after his job has been eliminated.

I’d almost do it just for that
