State of the Business

[MAKAVELI]

I wouldn't say I have the whole system figured out yet, but I can tell you that every manager I've ever worked for in this company appreciated people who were cross-trained in many different job functions outside of whatever they were assigned to. It sure beats having all my eggs in one basket by being, say.. a career courier, right?
Whoever said it was wrong then.

D-E-L-U-D-E-D.

Don't forget, young, ignorant, and arrogant. All of which she is in a rude awakening for.

I have no reason to lie to you. Believe what you will.
Deluded because I believe that skills define value? Isn't that why you argue that you and your veteran couriers are so much better than the new hires?

Dude your right. He put his eggs in one basket, cries woe is me, too late for me and then has the audacity to state to you "you got it all figured out" as if he doesn't spend years here, writes mini-series threads how he has it all figured out.

Some one just called your "Computer Cleaner" hotline. It seems that her husband has been spending a lot if time on some questionable sites, and now the keyboard is gummed-up. You have some eggs to clean-up..so go away.

Blah blah blah blah blah... Save yourself... It's too late for me!

That keyboard is waiting. Amazing how much "wisdom" someone who has never done this job can dispense. You don't have a clue, buddy.

I'd love to know who TUT works for.
You could PM it and I swear, I won't repeat it.

 

[Bankrupt]

If we have one of these dog and pony shows sometime I won't be there. Unless its posted on the schedule it's not mandatory to attend. I won't be surprised if we never have one. Our SM is a tightwad we never had any SFA follow up either.

How couldn't I have a clue to what you believe in, you spell it out repeatedly. Your biggest problem is yourself, settling.

Obviously his SFA scores sucked and he's hiding it.

​As with all managers and their SFA scores. The norm at this dump

Thanks,
I appreciate that.
I'm on the W. coast myself.

Care to elude what type of product? Medical? Hardware? Software? Businesses only? Residential only?
How many outbound packages a day? 1k? 5K?

1, if Mom lets him use the computer in the basement.

Delivering packages isn't brain surgery.

No, but it does require work ethic, something someone who's job is behind a desk knows nothing about.

 

[Route 66]

Delivering packages isn't brain surgery.

oh that's clever, did you just come up with that one?... all by yourself?
Here's a few that I just made up

'I know you are but what am I?'
'takes one to know one'
'sticks and stones can break my bones but names can never hurt me'

feel free to use those whenever and wherever deemed appropriate.

I don't think anyone here has ever put delivering packages in the same league as neurosurgery...just asking for fair compensation and decent treatment for a job that isn't exactly the most stress-free occupation in the world. Why do some people seem to have such a problem with that?




I wonder what people say to neurosurgeons when they want to disparage them...."operating on brains isn't package delivery"

 

[MrFedEx]

Delivering packages isn't brain surgery.

No, it's "rocket surgery". TUT says so, so it must be true. You'd be surprised how much brain power it takes to be an effective courier. Not a mediocre 7-8 SPH DRA-era hire, but someone who can go out there and bang-out 15 SPH and actually also do a pickup route. First, because you are Ground, you don't have a clue, and second, because you drive a desk, you're flapping your gums and making no sense at all.

 

[CJinx]

You'd be surprised how much brain power it takes to be an effective courier.

Yeah, because basic math and time management are so taxing.

Much more then sitting behind a desk thinking what donut to eat. Do I eat the glazed or chocolate? Ah what the hell I'll eat them both.
