[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1437810, member: 24302"] Possibly you aren't aware of this, but this has happened to me on several routes in several stations in recent years. I start out the route posting very good numbers, and then the numbers are adjusted. Suddenly, doing the exact same quality of work, which always produced good numbers in years past, I'm in the high 80's, low 90's percentage wise. Never mind that I was outperforming previous couriers on the route and swings couldn't match my numbers. I've heard this is happening to other couriers too. What is happening is FedEx thinks if it plays psychological games with us, making us think that we need to do what ever it takes to raise our numbers closer to 100% because we feel our jobs are on the line if we don't, we'll start running, working on our breaks, etc. It's not that couriers across the board are slackers(although most stations have a few), it's BS mind games. I said you might not be aware of this, but I bet you are, and are getting kicks screwing with us about the pay situation. FedEx isn't going to attract top performers because the word is out that FedEx lies to and screws over it's employees. Even if it paid better, which you know they won't even if every last courier is at 120% of range after being adjusted down to the low 90's. Yeah, carrot on a stick, only after finally catching it we'll find it's an orange painted turd. [/QUOTE]
