Been working for fedex for about a year, worked the busiest van line on the largest volume trucks( average scans doing 4 trucks would be 600-1000 packages normally) did this for about 4-5 months and actually made package handler on the month. My body was getting to overworked at that point and wanted a change, the guy across the belt from me was a 70 year old man who couldn’t do it anymore, so he was brushed outside as a switcher when the position was open (never worked a job in my life where I didn’t perform well and actually got a promotion) a second switcher position was needed and I applied and got it aswell. This was last year near August , been switching outside ever since, we have 4 switcher including me, 1 is full time switcher only and the other 3 are switcher/package handlers. The full time switcher is 30, I am 24, the other 2 switchers are both 70. So you can imagine who gets called inside to “help out” more often than others. Thats fine, I really don’t mind going inside from time to time moving box’s and still having the feeling of knowing what’s going on during sort. That being said, during peak we were kinda all inside helping but management realized all the switchers were “retards” (said to my face) and old so it was probably best that they stay outside,plus having 3 switchers inside while one 70y/o man with congestive heart failure does all the moves outside makes little sense. I’ve tired to talk with the other switchers about coming together on problems we have to management(trucks breaking down constantly and never being fixed in time or properly, 70y/o switchers about to die, there was a week the fuel truck never came and everyone was running out of fuel but nobody said anything till THEY were running out of fuel) I’ve had the only switcher worth his salt(30) tell me to my face he doesn’t care he normally just does things that work out for him. I am switching with a bunch of retards, and I feel like one of them for working here. I’ve had management say right in front of me to driver managers “ disregard what he told you, you just got your information from a switcher”. When I brought that up to management and said I didn’t like how I was being talked about I was sent to a van line for a week. This happens often now, they have actually started to call it a “Punishment”. My attendance over the last month has been shotty, they slashed my hours and started scheduling me from 1am-7:30 to 4-7:30 shifts. Normally all the switchers come in a half hour early to set up and just figure issues out, the last month I’ve been getting my ass rode about “coming in way to early”( shift said 1:30 and I clocked in at 1:19 type stuff).I live 40 minutes away,drive older vehicles that are not good on gas and have bills. I’m not going to drive over an hour,add wear on my vehicles and no sleep for a 3 hour shift. I feel with the way management has acted I have nobody I can go to and effectively ask questions or share problems,even if I did nothing get resolved. So over the past month or 2 when my shift says 4:15-7:30 I just use my PTO to cover the shift. I guess management doesn’t like that because last week I was pulled inside, told by a few managers as a “punishment” for “not showing up” is I’ll be working the van lines for the perceivable future. I could go on, I could say a lot more. I still need a job so I’ll leave it at that, just wondering if I’m alone here/what to do besides quit,thank you.

The only thing I remember is the video was just a picture zoomed out of a person standing in a giant cave with a bunch a green swirling light like an aurora. Any ideas, watched on YouTube.
