They really need to stop using these blanket comebacks from corporate. It makes them look totally foolish when we here the exact same lines across all the stations. I've heard the EXACT same line during a workgroup meeting and everyone started laughing. Then anger, because it's something we would tell very small children. Pathetic that some actually believe this nonsense from management.
When I was a manger, I never used this line. I also thought it was terrible that FedEx told everyone they were working on midrange pay and then gave 6% to only those in the top half of the payscale. I had employees with 8-11 years that were closer to 0% than 50% of range. I could not look them in the face and tell them something so outrageous.
I was appalled that one of, if not the best courier, in my location worked more hours than a topped-out employee and made almost 17k less in 2011. And this was with over 10 years seniority.
