True Fedex Stories and Rants

Posts Tagged ‘fedex ground’

I have gotten a few e-mails about this subject, And I am a victim of this too.. It seems to be that many employees like myself need a day off , for a doctors appt, family get together whatever.. So we fill out the request form and get it back saying the day is closed, not once but 2 or more times we submit the form.. And with no proof simply we have to take their word for it .. or we are told that no one can cover our rt..

But its funny on how we witness other people doing whatever they want, and its also funny that in over 15 years I have been denied a day off request.. I have had to either call in sick or take it on the chin and go to work and not take care of my personel needs by putting them on hold till I can.. I even offered to to take a day with out pay in the summertime when swing drivers needed the work I was still denied..

Now we also get Two personal days and you can call up and say personal day for reasons you dont have to tell them and take it off, Buttttt Fed Ex managers can be like little school kids and either say you didnt call or you didnt request a personal day.. Its really your word against theirs but you know the manger WILL ALWAYS be sided with by the big guys sooooooooo thats pretty much worthless too..

In the end unless your  in the whole manager click, or you really suck as an courier and they would rather have you off the road than working.. The good hard workers are pretty much fucked

Yea Fucking Right..

A few weeks ago I came off the road and was getting over a cold and was still pretty sick, I was actually nodding off  sitting at the Traffic lights on the way back to the station.. Being a lil sick and drained from doing over 50 + pick ups in the snow - it being dark makes your drowsy..

I get back to the building and getting all MY work done my manager comes up to me and says we need you in the cans tonite, I say I am sick ( I could barely even talk) an going home to finish up my medicine and go to bed..

then the asshole says well can you give me 20 min, I say no… Then the jerkoff says well how about 10 we are understaffed, while he is telling me this there are people going fucking home.. Now no matter what if you are that bad in a pickle you are to keep people its called operational need..

then I get pissed and say ” look you are even lucky I even came in today an run my rt and not call out sick , I am going home and will be in tomorrow ” He just stood there like his brain was sucked out an didn’t say shit ..

More proof to say that the Job is more important than you no matter what they say

Over the years I thought I was crazy, and sometimes I thought well maybe its me.. Well it wasnt..

1. Customer service is first ! …. But only if it does not interfere with your numbers of productivity  and whether or not they are shipping out a package or not..

2. Employee Safety is a priority drive safely - But hurry the fuck up and get back to the building

3. We will never tell you to ever  falseify … but wont say anything if you do- But if you get caught well its you or me and well we never ( ahem cough) condoned it anyway so have fun on the unemployment line

4. We will never put the driver in an unsafe position-Well not admittingly anyway-and besides your a professional driver and you were in control and should have said something- Oh you did sorry we didnt hear you from 2 feet away

5.  Your going to have lates ? Dont worry just go with it you will be ok… Hey your done ? ok just come into my office and sign off on this OLCC for the lates you have- It doesent mean a thing but 3 in a row you get a performance reminder and three of those an we have to let you go hey its in policy sorry !

6. Fedex Managers always follow policy ! well only when it applies to  us and not the employee

7.  There is no forced overtime and every courier gets the required rest they need ! Sorry bud you cant go home operational need, oh and dont worry about those going home before you worry about yourself
