Well a few weeks went by, I passed courier school and now just learning my route.. The Friday before a 3 day weekend my mgr Mikey comes to me and says hey would you like to work Saturday and do pickups it would be good for you to learn the city and so an so would like the day off for his kids what do you say..I say OK what the hell right Ill help someone out and learn while I was at it..

Once again I asked just this one part of the city right ? she says yea sure, OK its a plan

Well I come in grab my courier van and my equipment and off I went, at first everything was fine then after two hours I get hammered with pick ups all over the place after a while I call dispatch and say I’m only supposed to do this area.. He laughs a lil and says who told you that ? I said Mikey he laughs again any Say’s she’s not even a Saturday manager and misinformed you..He Say’s Ill help you the best I can but your on your own there is only one other courier out there and he’s doing the other city..

So 12 hours and 100 miles later, no break,no lunch I get done and back to the building very very very late for a Saturday an a lil help from the other courier it gets done and I go home..

I come back on Tuesday and Mikey says I need to see you in my office I say OK what ? … She Say’s you worked over 12 hours on Saturday, no break and came back to the building late. I say yea but you didn’t tell me everything, I could not take a break or else I would have late pick ups and the map you gave me did not show the whole area you gave me to do..

Without even blinking she goes I am giving you a counseling and you have to sign here, I say so I’m getting a reprimand for helping you out and you weren’t clear on what I had to do ?

Silence filled the office alone with a blank stare she was giving me, I mean no emotion no anything just sign here..

Awww helll so I signed the friggin thing to be done with it, It was bullshit tho  not even a month in the station and screwed twice

For looking at a Teamsters website off the clock ! I received an E-Mail the other day and had some friends in that station because I called them to verify the story..

That a Fedex CTV driver was suspended because he was off the clock and surfing the Internet and came across the Teamsters website when a Manager walked up behind him to ask what he was doing.. The driver replied waiting to punch in, then the manager noticed what he was doing and said that he could not do that ..

That matter was brought up to the Senior Manager where he suspended the driver for Two Days !

Gee for a company that says they are not worried about the Teamsters, they sure as hell punish you for being curious

Well a few weeks ago they come up to me and say I am going to start one hour and a half  later, because they want to reduce on road hours.. Soooooo I would be starting at 1:30 pm instead of  my normal 12 pm, then they say I can stay late to park trucks to make up the hours so that now means I will be home at 10 pm at night..

So I ask where are my first half pickups going to ?  they say they will be given to the Delivery drivers in my area.. OK but that means they will be getting their 8 hours and some overtime and they have less seniority than me.. And you are keeping them out there longer so where is the reduction of on road hours.. Not to mention you are starting a part timer that has been on the job a lil over a year and giving them  my work too.. Sooooooo what the fuck . I say I am going to open door it to Memphis I have the seniority so the work should go to me and the parties that be can get off the road earlier and come in later to do the sort and park trucks..

And the Part timer can start later like the others, so after a few days of my manager trying to talk me out of it and kissing my ass I open door it. and after a week I got my response and I got every excuse in the world that they were justified and If I wanted to pursue it more I can call my HR rep in Memphis..

The phone number they gave me was not in service anymore

lolololololol Oh Jesus H Christ they wont let me win

Oh and my manager makes me stay untill 9:30 10:00 pm to park trucks, they dont wanna just give me my guaranteed  7 and a half hours they force me to work for it
