[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 1168291, member: 22880"] I hope that those who state that they can "trust", their manager either reads this or knows the lesson already. A wage employee is a 'tool' to be used to move volume, NOTHING MORE. If that employee has to be intimidated, lied to, or even threatened to get what the manager wants - so be it. Trust involves a personal commitment between two people - there is NO PERSONAL commitment between you and FedEx, or even your manager. When you as an Express wage employee TRULY realize this, you are much better equipped to deal with the environment. Once I learned that 'trust' had no role in Express - I was able to function to protect myself without too much stress. In the end, if a manager (ops or senior) are in a position where their employment is at stake due to an action one of their wage employees has taken - that wage employee will be shoved under the bus in a heartbeat to get the heat off of them - even if they have some level of fault or responsibility themselves for the incident. You are guilty even if you can prove you are innocent, you have the burden of trying to prove your innocence if you are accused of wrong doing. Recognize this, and you are better prepared for the Express environment. Fail to recognize this, you will find yourself being shoved under that bus at some point - wondering what in the hell happened to you. [/QUOTE]
