Some shoppers may have jumped ship by mid July anyway.
They better get this fixed.

We put a stop to that garbage here.
They had to bid more full time package car jobs and several pt timers went (permanent) full time driving.
The company has to staff the operation and injuries/"disabilities" are a fact of life especially in this job.
I wasn't forced, given a choice. As I was making $14something at the time I jumped at the chance.

There's no choice in our language. The double dipping got stopped and it was about time.

That's something FedEx was/is clueless about. They would staff the operation so lean that a sick call or injury would throw everything into a tailspin.

How many extra people should they keep around for no reason?

There's always something to do at the station or run address corrections/misloads, etc.

There obviously isn’t a precise answer to how much staffing each station should have that would work on a daily basis, but it’s gotten so bad at my station that every pm driver is working morning overflow and one manager has even told us to try not to use any sick days for the next little while.

Stupid and typical Memphis response there but par for the course.

Typical response from any company in business to make a profit.

They always need someone to do the managers' paperwork while the manager runs their son/daughter to soccer/football/cheerleading practice, for example. (Real world example, not fantasy)

I sure hope like hell they don’t strike. My station is already short bodies, trucks and equipment. No way could we take up the slack.
You'd have to pick up the pace!

Wuutt?! That’s just crazy talk! My youngest just graduated HS. Now, for the first time in almost 30 years I don’t have to rush home. Not only will I not pick up the pace, but I might just slow down.

It must suck to have such a miserable life that following little old me around responding to my posts with stupid comments is the highlight. Bummer. And sad.

This O.friend guy has so much time, especially during work, to response to every post he thinks slights him, his company or his dear leader. Very interesting.

For a full-timer, he sure is at the drag races a lot. But then again he IS the drag.
