Quit or risk being terminated?

I’ve only seen people fired for doing stupid stuff, like falsification, not reporting accidents, roll away vehicle with an accident, porn on FedEx laptop, using nonrev account for personal shipping, etc.

It's not a roll away vehicle. It's meeting you at your next stop. Like a Tesla does.

Unless it’s changed, all FedEx employees are permitted to have a non-rev account for personal shipping. It’s a fringe benefit.

Lol. The employee account is not nonrev, that’s an employee discount.

 

[Star B]

yeah, 70-80% off the base charge, not including fees. I've found shipping stuff to peoples houses is cheaper using the post office for priority mail, most of the time.

Not what I was told. Nonrev being the equivalent of ‘at cost’, employees can ship at cost.

I guess y’all call it different because I just asked a long time CSA and manager and they said the same thing as me. Oh well.

The term "nonrev" applies if the discount is greater than any commercial rate. That, it is not. For example, I've seen an AutoZone shipment to a resi that's cheaper than me shipping the same shipment to that same resi because they aren't charged the resi fee. I sure hope you're not going to say that FXE is losing money per package to AZ because we know that's bull.

Therefore, it's a 'discount' program, not 'nonrev'.

In other words, nobody, corporate or off the street could buy a flight on $not-my-airline from Frankfurt to Narita for 180 bucks(inc taxes) when I paid for it when I worked for $self-moving-cargo-airline.... that's a real nonrev tkt.

Yep. And the mail is flown around by FedEx anyway, so there ‘ya go.

BTW, that discounted shipping for employees is not usuable with Express Saver.

It is for FedEx employees but not for interline.

Hmm, because I used the discount when I worked at $self-moving-cargo-airline. I just had to show up to the counter to do it there.

I worked the front counter many, many times. WE can ship XS at a discount. Other airlines cannot.

Express Saver is included. Cactus is just uninformed All services including Ground.

Do people not know the difference between "NON REV" and employee discount? NON mean "NO"
REV means money. NO MONEY? When managers ship checks or paperwork to employees home, they use a NON REV acct#. When employees use their discount. It is just that. LOL

You’re getting the two confused. Nonrev shipping and nonrev travel. Apples to oranges.

Isn't a station's nonrev account the one they use to return packages to sender? Using that for personal shipments would get you fired.

 

[Oldfart]

Considering we are making about 10% return at Express and we get up to 75% discount, it would seem like employee discount is nowhere near cost. Seems like we are actually losing money on employee discount shipping. That is why abuse is a serious offense.

Yup, know of an employee who was using their employee discount for shipping their ebay sales, was terminated when the SM found out about it.

They used to sell us $3 peel and stick barcodes for shipping anywhere. I sold a bunch of stuff on eBay using those. It was great.
