Operational needs
Virescit Vulnere Virtus
FedEx is dumbing down the courier job and providing minimal training and they are getting just that....dumb. A friend of mine met a new young guy on road to give him stops. While setting him up she sent him to a house to make a DSR delivery. She realized he had no pen so she went to the door. As she got there, the woman opened the door and the guy just looked at her, said NOTHING. She was going to close the door when my friend stepped up and explained they had a pkg and needed a signature. Lol.
Afterwards, for some reason, they got on subject of delivery records...he doesn't know what they are. She asked him what he would do if his Powerpad died. Uh, I don't know. Go back to the station?
This is the future of FedEx.

PowerPads never fail, and we never have to use Delivery Records. We are FedEx, we are flawless, we are perfect...ERROR, ERROR. Must sterilize, ster..il..ize!! ERROR, ERROR!! (Apologies to Capt. Kirk).

I was just opening mail I got a few weeks ago and found a letter from my Managing Director telling me I had five days to send him a response stating what I will do in the future to prevent the type of accident I had recently and what I will do to drive safely. WTF?! WHY are they sending me stupid 
like this to my house and I know they seriously don't expect a response?!
Does anyone else get something like this, from their Managing Director to their home, after a preventable accident?

No---we get to sit down with our center manager and have the discussion face to face.

Which is how it SHOULD be. Don't send that crap to my house and expect me to respond. Stupid!

Contractors are asked for "action plans" frequently. WAGN.

We are asked for a "commitment to safety".

I have no idea. I'll have to ask.
The last time I had that discussion, when asked what I could have done to prevent the accident, I replied, "I could have stayed home."
End of meeting.

If we have an accident, we get a half days check ride and a "try to be safe". That's it, the end.
Anything FedEx sends to my home goes directly into the recycling. I don't even bother opening them anymore. Want me to fill something out or read something? Give it to me when I'm on the clock.

My sentiments exactly. I'll deal with it on the clock or not at all. This was the first time I ever got anything like that at my house that's why I was so put out. Felt kind of intrusive. Lol.

Stuff gets lost in the mail all the time. As far as you're concerned you never got any letter.

Just telling it like it is
It is intrusive. Borderline harassment IMO.
If you sent any kind of FedEx correspondence to your managing director's house they'd be thoroughly pi$$ed followed by a nasty phone call to your senior and then your manager would have a warning letter waiting for you the next morning.
Throw the damn thing away.

I'd be massively pissed. Reply should go something like this:
Dear Incredible. You have 5 days to inform me what you plan to do to ensure I am never ever harassed at my personal domain on my own time by you or any other head from this two-bit circus ever again.
I'm yours from the moment I clock in - to the moment I clock out. At no other time do I expect to receive any sort of harassment from you or your ilk - ever. Got that? - E V E R.
If I'm not getting compensated, I'm damn sure not getting harassed. Screw you.
Love,

So, got a new one for your consideration.
We're so understaffed, we have a new pm courier at our station driving a route...
... who has not been to Courier school or Defensive Driving. And no, he has not been a courier before.
