Well, now that we've been approved by the fedex gods to receive a 5 cent pay raise (sarcasm), normally any changes to our onroad goals wouldn't go into effect until June 1 of the next fiscal year. Its looks like management will be coming with new changes immediately. At my station management has been in the couriers faces almost immediately if they don't make their return to building time everyday, for the past 3 weeks !
The management here is basically saying, "our system is perfect" ! So what more and more couriers are going to be pressured to do is return back to the building BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY, including but not limited to making deliveries and leaving their trucks running with the doors open and unattended, speeding, picking up/delivering stops while in a break code, doing a pux 43 or 46 on packages and working them up after returning to the building, and driving back to the station while in a break code, just to name a few. These issues I just named off are happening at my station on a regular basis, and the couriers that are involved in these practices aren't ashamed to tell you they break these rules on a regular basis, because of the fear of eventually losing their jobs if they don't hit there goals.
I hope this isn't the case, but I wouldn't be surprised to see MT3 on an segment of Frontline stating accidents and tickets for speeding and other moving violations have increased to an all time high ! Again, its my hope is no one gets into accidents or receive any tickets at all, but now that you're gonna get that big pay increase, management is gonna increase the heat on every couriers to perform to 100% each and every day. At least at my station this is the direction our management is headed.
