[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1303078, member: 12508"] Yes, in a way. It's really all about unions, and specifically, whether or not we will form one. The SFA, which has not changed much in 40 years, is mainly a measurement of how pissed-off we are. In other words, are we angry enough to form a union? The SFA is a "test" that upper management devised to gauge the mood of the workforce. Is it accurate? No, not really, but that is it's true main purpose. On a secondary level, it can be used to assess managers too, but since all that matters any more is making your numbers, even a manager with abysmally low SFA scores is safe because it's all about the money...like you said. When MT3 was a manager, his scores always sucked, but because he made goal, he moved-up the chain. He is where he is at because he is an absolute jerk, with a total focus on the numbers. He was famous for unreasonable demands and OLCCs for having lates, even lates that were beyond your control. That's what they want, and those same inhuman, obnoxious "qualities" make for promotions and future success at FedEx. So, if your manager gets a 16 on their SFA, nobody will bat an eye in Memphis if they make budget and have good numbers. If they get a 98, go over budget and have bad numbers, they are toast. The SFA was absolutely designed for the primary purpose I have described above. Anything else is smoke and mirrors. [/QUOTE]
