The new plan,pt do p1

[fdxsux]

The whole reason for the switch is to push older full time day employees out the door. P1 and P2 together makes sense not P2 and pickups.

Delivering ground and express together makes sense too, but.....

Yea, our engineer not the best either

I haven’t come across a good one yet.

Unicorns.

Ditto

 

[Serf]

And what does that tell you?

I’m sticking with my pt pm route. I know it, I have enough time in the day to work extra and I stay with my present manager.

They gave me choices to do a reg ft day rt, mid route or heavy pickup route. I chose the heavy pickup route.

Here it is early March and still not one word about this from station management, but they are insisting we take the SFA early this year. They want us all to have it done by Friday. I wonder why that could be?

As I recall, the survey has a section for comments. Not that comments would matter.

My senior says we start the program April 1. I'm not taking the SFA. I believe its worthless and corrupt.

My manager is telling people not to take the SFA if they aren't going to give good scores - "If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all."

That trope is as old as this board itself.

not P2 and pickups.

We have late starters that do that now, before the change. Why doesn't that make sense?

That’s funny. Reverse psychology? I will take great pleasure in marking what I believe and telling them why if we ever have a Feedback meeting.

We were given a pamphlet by our Managing Director that had all the SFA questions in it. The way they are written now is so vague I don’t know why they even bother at all. They’re almost non-questions.

The best thing you can do to "hurt" your manager is to not take the SFA, imagine a manager gets zero SFA scores, hellfire rains down on them for not being able to "convince" their workgroup to take it.

If I had to guess 30-40% of the people at my station didn't take the SFA last year. Most of them were senior employees. All of the new employees were urged to take it and gave good scores. We never had a follow-up meeting.

 

[zeev]

Haven’t had a follow up meeting in 10 years.

The first question regarding management is ridiculous. They don't specify between station managers and Memphis higher ups at all. "Do you trust management to make the right decisions?" or something like that. Which managers? Decisions to benefit whom?

Also, I asked the evening manager why we haven't been told about the 2 sort business here, and she told me it is because it won't effect us. We have too many extended routes, so they are not planning on making those changes here. Time will tell.

I won’t take the serve food annually SFA survey until I get pizza or a turkey club sandwich.

From everything I've heard, the extended routes part is true. My station has P1 areas of 10:30, 12:00, and 16:30 and the only zips that are affected in my station are the 10:30 ones. Our extended areas will get all their freight in the morning sort.

Hopefully your station isn't affected by this program.

I've never understood why some people over a certain age think every change is really about "getting rid" of them. It seems like it's always the ones who milk the out of the clock and/or are slow AF. You know the ones, they get exactly 11 hours a day no matter if they have 80 stops or 120. And will still try to dump some off on the neighboring route.
