[QUOTE="dmac1, post: 2593012, member: 60252"] I had every kind of issue- payments were calculated a little different back then though. There was a fuel supplement based on miles driven- almost never right, would miss days of miles, extra pay for multiple pieces, or oversized packages, bonuses, Every week I had to go through three settlement checks with a fine tooth comb, then keep track of whether or not corrections were made properly. And saying "That's just a bad manager" shows that you miss the point. Fedex specializes in bad managers, and promotes them to the point where their incompetence finally shows up. What you call "your" business is 100% totally dependent on someone else's competence, and all the 'technology you think you can bring to the table are more than negated by your dependence on people you have no control over. It wasn't just one manager I had that was in way over his ability, it was time after time, as fedex tries to hire the lowest cost personnel they can find that appear competent in their prior position. The last three managers I had were a former package handler, a QA clerk whose main experience was in making phone calls to correct bad addresses on packages, and the woman who couldn't read a map, and had never loaded a package or made a delivery, or had even basic ideas about how many miles it was to the nearby delivery areas.
