The beatings continue...

You really gotta love it when FredEx goes thirty steps out of their way to please a customer these days. We were allowed to do a DEX17 future delivery for today, isn't that just a reattempt same day? Also gotta love it when they go hunting squirrels and load for bear, rentals still sitting in the building, most of the FO and PM crew not really needed and that mandatory work day crap and the volume was nowhere what it was supposed to be. Effing great when I have to get up an hour earlier to come in an hour earlier and then they use 40 minutes of that time for stoopid ***** safety meeting and a manager's 25 yr anniversary and leave at the same time I do every other day. What a great effing way to monopolize my time.

Exactly. I just called-in sick instead. Screw them.

If I wasn't stuck on guarantee pay I would've done it too.

Maybe we should all buy 1share of stock and then crash the stockholders meeting ..

Too bad it would go nothing like this, but it might still be fun...

In our station too we also had to explain the "why were you late delivering packages" to your manager. I had lates one day and told my manager the next morning that if you (managers) don't improve the "leave building times" lates are much your problem too. I can tell just by my stop count whether I can make it or not. Put the onus on them, some other idiot couriers are falsifying "not in/closed" dex when 10:30 is looming close just so they don't have to face the music in the morning. That courier that said she bumped those 5 packages was smart, take your max and bump the rest; let some late starting baseline person cover that.

Yep, you are right. Learn to play the game.

Most managers are clueless to the fact that backing off start times=late leave building times=late packages. Time to start drawing them a picture....naw, that won't work either.

In the past, we had to explain lates over the DADS unit. I would always use 2 words..."Management Incompetence". Whenever I'm asked now, I use the same 2 words. Simple, but true. They hate it, and that's just too bad.

But I just bought a box of crayons so I could talk to my manager....dang, guess the kids won't eat today.
