[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1006603, member: 24302"] Your best bet is to get a lone domicile and meet someone on the road for your freight if you want to keep everything at arm's length from you. I've worked in situation where we had 12 people and a mgr and there was the most vicious backbiting imaginable. The mgr was ok, but there were several there who felt they could do everything better and were determined to run the place. If you acted friendly to people they didn't like they ripped into you. First day there mgr sat me down and said 2 that recently quit and transferred had cited one of those couriers as the reason for leaving. He wanted me to report any harrassment I received from her. I told him I had seen that stuff before and it wouldn't bother me. I was wrong! Bottom line I've worked in some of the most scenic areas of the country and nothing ruins living in a great place like working for FedEx. There have been terrific people and terrible people in every location. Usually it comes down to your mgr and since these guys are under pressure and often not suited for the job it's Russian roulette getting a good one. Best advice? Stick to the area of the country that you are familiar with and has your kind of culture. If you aren't from redneckville don't go there. Not Hispanic? Stay away from the border. Have a southern accent? Don't move to the Northeast. If you have any aspect that would make you stand out you'll have coworkers who'll never let you forget it. Most are cool, but quite a few aren't and they tend to be the "ruling" clique. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
