[QUOTE="LTFedExer, post: 1061379, member: 29156"] It is if you're over-riding a DSR. ISR or ASR. Of all the reasons I have seen people get fired, overriding those is the #1 reason [B]I[/B] have seen people get fired for. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I love telling this one. And yes...it did happen. Manager: Do you have a package for XXXXX? Me: Yup, just loaded it in my truck Manager: Make sure you get it delivered. Unlikely they'll be there, so just leave it at the house. Me: It's a DSR, please give me a control release # before I leave. Manager: No problem End of sort Me: I haven't gotten a control # for the package. Manager: Don't worry, just type it in and over-ride it (Me thinking duh, I know how to do it) Get to the stop, nobody home, look around for a ranch-hand...no luck. To me, this is a no-brainer, tag the house and bring the package back. Next day....Manager: Did you release the package like I asked? Me: Nope....told you it was a DSR and I needed a control release #. Manager: Well....the recipient called, he was a little upset, but wanted to send a message to the courier that he did the right thing and will make sure someone is there today. This recipient was, at one time, VP and COO of FedEx and still sits on FedEx's Board of Directors (I already knew this). Now, there was no chance anyone could take the package. The house sits in the middle of 1100+ acres, but I don't risk my job for anyone. In most cases, managers have been managers long enough where they have become experts in covering their butts.......cover yours always. [/QUOTE]
