[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 885895, member: 12508"] This is so true. Managers make incredible mistakes all the time, and they cover each other by pointing fingers at the hourlies. This seems especially true at the station level, where there is little accountability unless the overall numbers suffer. Most managers are pretty good at passing the blame so they don't get nailed directly. For years, incredibly incompetent managers kept their jobs (and were even promoted) just because they happened to be located at a facility that posted big numbers. The senior could be screwing a CSA on the office floor and not get fired, if he had a Dell, Apple, LL Bean, or some other big shipper that the station serviced. The "numbers" covered all of their other eff-ups, and they were essentially untouchable. If you had a smaller station that had both low inbound [I]and [/I]outbound, the managers were under a microscope because business wasn't growing fast enough. These places tended to be "revolving doors" for management. How do you evaluate the performance of a Memphis engineer who invents the latest method to make us more "productive", especially if it causes more accidents, injuries, or turnover? Oh, sorry, we don't have "injuries". Instead, we have preventable workplace "incidents", where it is inevitably the employees fault. If a blimp crashed into your van in the station parking lot, it would be your fault because you didn't anticipate the hazard of the blimp. God forbid if you are injured by said blimp, because you should have been wearing your orange blimp safety vest, so it's [I]your [/I]fault. Remember, FedEx denies any wrongdoing and will "vigorously defend itself" against anyone and everyone who dares to question anything, even if it is unethical, stupid, or just plain criminal. What a cluster. [/QUOTE]
