i Would'nt Let People Know You Are An Ex- Fedex Driver, Somebody Might Crap In Your Lunchbox..
and the day that happens, you know you're a lot better than the lackey who went to that trouble not because of the merit of your character but because of your choice in past employer.
But comeon, Do you work at a place for "inside the ex?" or to support your family. I know fedex drivers who bitch about their backs. Not every ups sup is evil. Its nice to know I can make a good wage to support my family on with a stable job. You all can say what you want, this is a stable job. Your attitude and also the union backing you. I dont see fedex with that?Money is the first thing people look at when they work, unless your a teacher....get real. As time goes on fedex will loose all the feel good perks someone posted earlier. Does anyone care to talk about the 2 hour unpaid "lunches" that fedex enjoyes. Yes im fedex bashing, but dont have to listen to me. Go to fedexexaminer or theres another site that all there is are fedup fedex employees....cheers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you're
always going to have disgruntled employees. always. even in places with strong corporate culture like fedex. while 90% are happy with what they got (respectful managers, fair workload, fair wage, good place to go every morning), there's always 10% that don't see that way because of their attitude.
and not everyone is in a job for the money. i know this sounds jaw-dropping, but it's true. you have people with well-to-do spouses, stay at home parents, students, self employed, etcetc. where i'm at now, as a uni student, i'd rather be in a place where i look forward to working at every night rather than a high paying job. funny thing is, fedex's cargo handlers starting wage is the amount us UPS package handlers cap out at...
bottom line you make more $$ at UPS, to top out with FDX at i believe in my hub it was like 20.50 and it takes YEARS! there are guys who have been with FDX like 10 years & only making around 16 bux an hour. and there were a couple other reasons but you are going to find that at any job. between one of my best friends driving and talking to other UPS drivers i knew what i was getting my self into. and being in my early 20s i figured i should do this now while i don't have many bills and can start at the bottom loading trucks vs. staying, being like late 30s and maybe being topped out? if i never did switch i would of never known and would be a regret later on.
oh and i miss SONAR on the gas-trucks. replacing those melodic things with backup cameras.....
