True Fedex Stories and Rants

Posts Tagged ‘fedex stories and rants’

The following day I was attacked on my route by three hooligans. I placed a police
report and was ordered to continue my route. I beleive the words were “Man, we have
no one to cover for you. If you go home we may have to rethink your employment with
us.” During the rest of that day I just wanted to go home. I attempted a delivery
and accidently scanned it as delivered, but placed a delivery attempt door tag. A
few hours later, I gotten a phone call and was asked about the delivery. I just
wanted to go home. My right eye was swollen, my nose had dried blood, and my ribs
was killing me. So I told him no, I didn’t have it and at the time I thought I
didn’t. When I went to the next stop I seen it and called the base and told them
that I had it and was going to attempt the delivery. So the station manager accused
me of stealing and the bastard called the cops and demaned my job. The cops waited
for me at the womans house and I explained the situation. So the officers scolded
the station manager and told me to go home. When I returned to work the next day. I
once again went into the office. Scolded for having 11 non deliver packages and was
told that I was on a very thin line.

Ever since then I was basically harassed every day. I gotten a complaint that I
didn’t knock the door hard enough so I was forced to watch a 20min video. Then I
gotten a complaint for knocking too hard and I was scolded by the station managers
earlier that day then by my supervisors a few hours later. I gotten yelled at for
attempting a package to a business that don’t open until 12pm. So I was ordered that
no matter where I am, I have to drop everything and deliver the package. Yet when I
do that I get yelled at about falling behind. I think I hit my mark last week.

I attempted a delivery to a man who wasn’t home, so I placed a doortag and thought
that was it. The following day this elderly gentleman who was around 70 strolls in
and screamed his pants off, claiming that he was home all day and I never showed up.
I told my station mananger that I have done three deliveries in that very same
building that day, and he wasn’t home. So they punched up my delivery sheet. First
they asked me why I did a delivery @ 1:26 pm and drove three blocks, went up 15
floors and attempted a delivery @ 1:27. I told him that I did not realize that I
didn’t close out the last stop until I gotten to the following stop. So I was called
a liar to my face. I told him don’t call me a liar and I was there. They say
computers don’t lie and it shows that I never went to his apartment, yet how was I
able to deliver three other stops in that same building. (If I was never there) So
they said that I never gave the man enough time so my supervisor lost his $400
monthly bonus. So my supervisor charged me $100 for loosing his bonus and was told
that I am one of the top three worse drivers in the Syracuse region. Worse driver? I
never gotten a ticket in 10 years. In DHL I have gotten best customer service award
for 5 years in a row. Heck in FedEx I have gotten Subcontractor if the month twice.
Yet I am one of the worse drivers in the region.

I have mentioned this before in a few posts..

What the Open Door Policy does is, It gives the employees a chance to bring a concern to the powers at be in Memphis.. Now you have to find this out on your own.. You see the managers will never tell you, and in my station they hang the policy up on the checkin wall for one day during the annual audit then they take it down..

I asked a employee of 5 years yesterday what is the open door policy he said its when you go to your manager and express your concerns and they always have their door open to you.. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA  whew wait a sec HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHA..

OK  Im done sorry everybody , that is what the mangers tell you the poor boy has been gettin messed with and never knew he can take his concerns elsewhere..

But the open door only works 5% of the time.. I am the king of the open door as a matter of fact I have to do one today for the bullshit they are TRYING to do ( More on that later tho)

You see Memphis is tainted by manager input, and they believe  Managers more than us.. But sometimes they realize their Mangers fucked up bad like in a few cases with me.. They will never admit it send you a nice reply, but whatever you open doored gets changed in a few weeks.. Hummmmmm oh really so you sent me a reply that management was in the right but it gets changed with some excuse later one Yea Yea Right Thats The Ticket LOL

I even had an Open Door not make it to Memphis..

See the Open Door goes to the Director of the region and Memphis at the same time but the Director sees it first, I have talked to a few other that said their never made it too..

Alot of times the Director knows what they are doing, but he wants his bonus too and you can imagine what his is, so usually the managers will try and talk you out of it.. they say ” Well its only temporary” or ” Whats the big deal its not going to last long”

Motherfucker the big deal is your screwing me to either..

1. Get your monthly bonus- and we get less hours-Less Pay-and no bonus

2. Take care of another courier that is in your little click or he/she is fucking a manager that you know or work with

3. Having a courier with less seniority and less pay do my job and make more hours than me and a Part Timer at Fucking that

Christ the list goes on ..

Just another day working at FedEx.. They Keep you stupid to achieve their goals but once you get smart its a target on your back

Fuckem at over 200 pounds I always been a big target anyways lol

I mentioned this earlier in a post or two, but the check-ride is when your trusty manager sits with you a few hours.. They evaluate your working methods and how you drive, customer interaction and so forth.. They basically look at what your are doing, like lets say if you are not making your numbers they go out and see what the problem is or if you have an accident they see how you drive ( more on accidents later) .. It all sounds simple right ?

What  the check ride is REALLY for is to pick you apart and make almost everything your fault, now my first few years as a courier I really didn’t pick up on this but then years ago when I only had 6 years in the company and was getting 13 dollars an hour I was the perfect courier and they dinged me on stuff that yea I could have did better..

Now fast forward  to my 13th year, oh Jesus H. Christ lets see on the things they got me on ..

1. I started the day off great but slowed down the last few hours I need to pick up the pace ( sooo I gotta be haulin ass for 8 straight hours ? Screw You Im Human not a Robot)

2. I didn’t say have a good day to the customer ( This was after me and the customer were joking around and we were both busy)

3. I didn’t ask if there was anything else ( this was from a regular customer I know only ships on letter a day)

4. I didn’t tuck my shirt back in ( I just lifted a 90 pound box that my own manager didn’t help me lift)

5. My truck was dirty ( Fuck we don’t even get assigned trucks and we only have 10 min to get our shit and leave the building how in the hell am I supposed to clean a truck and do everything else ? )

Now I have copies of my check ride evaluations but I cant post them because they are copyrighted by FedEx sooo I gotta do the right thing here ..

Now also keep in mind what score we get on our check ride affects our review which also if a big factor on the raise we get

One time I narrated everything I did and why I did it, and they still binged me for petty shit LOL

Its just amazing to me that you go to work and do what you are told, and your manager the guy you bust your ass for and supposed to be on your side and your supposed to trust to help you out and have your back will smile in  your face and play the good guy role..

Will try to get you in the end when it comes down from the top..

And the worst part of all this is.. Its the managers word over yours..Who is to say the manager is fair and tells the truth after all its you and him/her all alone out there no witnesses..

Man Aint That A Bitch !
