Thanksgiving, holidays

[Themailbro]

Are fedex employees off for Thanksgiving? Or any other holiday like Christmas?

With no union contract in place they can make you work any day they choose.

You poor poor individual. I hear Wendy's is hiring, maybe you would be happier working there.

You get the major holidays but no day afters. Thanksgiving begins the holiday rush. Friday after is a normal day. This year Christmas and New Years are on Sunday so Monday is the holiday.

This comment is a testament to your own ignorance.........Southern style. The kind that you have broadly demonstrated.

Spot on . He has no intelligent discourse of offer . Just the same insults and put down. He wrongly believes that these type of comments can effectively articulate his views.

Speaking of Christmas being on Sunday, Christmas Eve on Saturday should be actually really easy. Seeing as the only thing that will be delivering is residential.

Retail routes will be busy as well and the worst thing will be the traffic associated with navigating your route. I am sure by then they will be telling us to Resi Release everything and bring no resi del back.

Not familiar with MT3. Must be another person that the miserables spend their nights having nightmares about.

Speaking of which, I just got a form letter from him today thanking me for my years of service. I feel so special. I might have to get a fancy frame for it. LOL.

From December 12th on will be a cluster , the best is when all the backed up freight hits the station 2 days after Christmas when they are cutting extra help like crazy

We got a message on our powerpad from HQ today, announcing today as us officially being in peak, followed by the message "who's excited and ready to serve our customers?" Really? Who's excited for it???

Just shows how out of touch our executives are.
