[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 581352, member: 22880"] FEDEXGURU, you have learned your first lesson: FedEx is a cruel environment for new hires. You may think I'm being sarcastic, but I'm not. FedEx has a sink-or-swim mentality for new hires. Your manager will be supportive for a couple of weeks, after that you'd better start making goal and not make any mistakes. FedEx is definately a cruel environment for the new hire. I was shocked at this myself when I was new to FedEx, but quickly learned it was a result of the environment. An obsession on productivity goals even for new employees. There is no "gentle" learning curve. You'll either make it or not within your first month. If you start getting "OLCCs", you'll know you're being prepared to be shoved out the door. If after 3 months you are on speaking terms with your manager and aren't stressed over the prospect of going to work each day, you'll know you have made it. Your worst day will be your first day on your own. Your worst week will be the first week on your own. Your worst month will be the first month on your own. After that, it becomes so routine that you can do it half awake - or so stressful that you bring in your uniforms vowing never to return... [/QUOTE]
