SFA: RIP

[MassWineGuy]

We’re in the midst of SFAs at our station. My manager told me it’s the last one. Maybe FedEx None will have a similar survey that will matter just as much.

Sounds to me like a state of complete and utter chaos within that company.
Perhaps it's coming to realize that contractors cannot handle time sensitive/commit time shipments with any degree of reliability. and do it for pennies a stop using "here today gone tomorrow" transient workers busting ass for burger joint and unarmed security guard money. It's just not going to get done that way.

I took the SFA today, I was going to be fair but then I remembered all times when I was treated unfairly, any malpractices, tricks, unpaid wages, and all the times the company screwed me over ...

Survey-Feedback-Action. It is a survey that FedEx used to give to all Express employees to get a gauge of how the employees were feeling about various things like benefits, pay, management and the company itself. It used to make a difference once upon a time. Because of it, bad managers were sometimes removed, retrained and relocated or demoted. The “Action” part stopped years ago though. They stopped having meetings after the survey.

I remember taking it bout 15 years ago. Wouldn’t stoop to Dano’s level and take it. I told my “manager” he could take it for me if he wanted to.

Wait? FedEx actually listens to their workers?

 

[MassWineGuy]

Past tense.

Just as much as UPS did with their sham surveys

Yup, and its another one I won't take.. only helps the manager get a bonus, ours scored 73%? and got a 35K bonus.... Imagine if the ~35 drivers in his workgroup got a 1K bonus, how awesome they would feel.
Company memo today said something about trimming upper management down to 30% of current numbers...

 

[MassWineGuy]

Wow! Please post that memo if possible. That’d be just fine.

One of my managers (I’ll call her JB) a few years ago got a low enough rating that she had to spend a week in Nowhere, NJ for a course in employee relations. Should have been a year.
