[It will be fine]

Why would they not be able to quit?

10% unemployment

Because their spouse needs to get a winning scratch-off lottery ticket first.

10% unemployment

??? Weekly unemployment at a ground station??

 

[MassWineGuy]

If you can put up with it, UPS would likely hire you.

What are you even trying to say? Unemployment is metric that indicates the percentage of the population without a job. Do you think 10% of the people at a Ground terminal don’t work there? Did you hit your head?

I haven't heard anything about this at my station, but something they are doing to try and cut overtime is forcing some routes to go 4x10. So far only 2 have flipped to the new schedule, and the couriers are furious, but they want quite a few others to change as well. Several couriers at my station are threatening to quit if their route gets changed.

I like the way you talk down to people, as I do at times. I generally can support my assertions when I do so however.

You cannot on this point.


Please enlighten me on exactly what you meant to convey.

10% unemployment

A starting point should you choose to self-educate.

Full Employment

The U.S. expansion has put millions of people back to work and economists agree that the economy is now at or close to full employment. But what does that mean exactly? When economists talk about full employment, they don’t mean everybody has a job. And they don’t mean that even the rosiest...

If you have questions, on line education is marvelous, it's one way of your type's way of currently
shutting down the economy.

I'm online to serve, I'm certain there are more intelligent on the subject to guide you as well.


First test question, what is the range of unemployment that is generally considered full employment?

I have a gift of being condescending when I choose to unstrap it.

I unstrapped it.

Stop posting rumors. Memphis can't get us our freight by 6:30, you think they'll be able to get it to us by 3:00? Also, the only routes that CAN go out that early are resi routes. That's only half our station. Somebody in Memphis is brainstorming and the BS filters down and gets posted online.

who would do the FO/P1 business reattempts? I’m guessing the P2 route or trucks would never get back on time

Let them quit.

Let them quit.

Most on here whine and complain about how mistreated they are, how much better other companies pay and treat their employees and yet, they continue swiping their ID at Fedex every day. Why is that?

It’s literally impossible , a false rumor

 

[MassWineGuy]

It’s definitely a gift, Floridays. And I well understand your reasons for asserting it.

Hey Dano, sure they’re free to quit. The company knows this is a good time to exploit drivers, given high unemployment and a scarcity of available jobs. I understand the reasoning, just not the ethical vacuum it comes from.

True. We absolutely need a union. Even if imperfect, there’s much more strength in numbers.

Reducing OT is not "exploiting" anyone unless you think it's a crime to have a FT 40 hour-a-week job.

 

[MassWineGuy]

I guess I agree there. Forty hours would be fewer than now. But given the volume, I think the two shifts will overlap and there will still be plenty of ot. Unless they use part timers for the extra volume.

 

[Purplepackage]

10% unemployment

If you’re in your mid 20s with 5 or less years with the company, I don’t think that’s scaring anyone from quitting

My station is rampant with unnecessary OT, but no order to fix it they would have to make people, like, do their JOB I’m tired of hearing about excess time in 56 and LBT because they don’t want to deal with the milkers. Seriously - that may piss some of y’all off - but it’s out there

While I cant speak directly to what you've done as an ops manager, all I can say is that the management team at the station I work at did absolutely nothing about reducing overtime and the workloads that all of us were experiencing until 10 drivers quit. All of these per said people who quit there jobs at fedex are young like me, and know for certain that being told a two percent raise after working 60 hour weeks for 7 months is a massive you. Hell. I'm ready to quit after having to yell at my senior manager to enforce a mask mandate after a few of the drivers family members who was the last contact for them died.

People on this forum are under the impression that no one is able to quit this company, but that’s the joke on Fedex. I know from experience that when my son was in his mid to late 20s, if he felt undervalued by a company he left.

This job specifically is no longer a career
