Max part time hours

Is there a limit to how much hours I can work per week as a part time package handler? Can I ask my boss to stay till the end of the shift instead of being let out early or will they probably say no?

Is it just me or do the 3D barcodes just not scan anymore?

Actually driving me insane when the 2D barcode doesn’t want to scan…

Any handlers dealing with false misloads?

For some time now my line has been told that we get misloads. Whenever the trainer looks for the packages on the trucks, they’re in the correct place.

Today it happened to me but the “misloaded” package happened to be a bulk stop. I remember accidentally tapping the wrong truck number and pressing cancel, then I proceeded to enter it into the actual truck number. Later during the sort the trainer came by to tell me I had a misload, which was one of the packages from the bulk stop.

Why does it come up as a misload if I never tapped confirm or whatever it says for the wrong truck?? A few years ago a manager would say that we correct them too fast but why is that a thing? It’s so annoying!

Is "Delivery before 5pm" actually a real estimate, or should i just expect it the day after?

Fedex keeps delaying my 3 day express package by 1 day at a time, and its been happening for 3 weeks straight. They finally updated my tracker to "Tomorrow before 5pm" but fedex only delivers to this facility in the morning. I've been trying to fix this lab analyzer for weeks now and this part is held up in Indianapolis for some unknown reason. Support couldnt give me more information. My team and I thought this was a software glitch since repeated 1 day delays seemed too weird to be accurate.

yikes

so i guess our ground location is #1 in the state, and for that we get rewarded with stricter rules. i, as well as much of management has never seen so many write ups in their life created by upper management

i’ve been written 3 times in the last week

  1. i clocked into the last van line ONE minute late
  2. i clocked into the last van like FIVES minutes late
  3. because i called into work yesterday (haven’t gone over my rolling 3)

BUT THEY HAVE ZERO ISSUE SENDING ME ALL OVER TO FILL IN AND KEEPING ME TILL THE VERY LAST MINUTE CONSTANTLY.

the wild thing is, i had zero clue i couldn’t call out of work when in orientation we were told we had 3 on a rolling 30 day)

so basically if i get one more bullshit write up, they will terminate me.

my van line manager told me only the sort was dealing with this, midnight shift and other shifts are a lot more relaxed lol as far as calling out or being a little late

are they even allowed to do this? lol

Am i in trouble?

Guys i need some help. A few weeks ago i got a message on my phone from control account with a reference number telling me to urgently call a phone number. I called and gave the reference number but they wanted my post code as well which i provided the current one and they said it was not matching the records. I asked them to atleast tell me what they wanted me to call about but they said they cant reveal that info unless i verify my address so i just let it go.

Now today, I received an email from the legal team at control account and have attached the screenshots. When i go the link they have provided and enter the reference number it again asks me for post code. I have changed houses twice in the past year so i tried all 3 post codes and it matched one of them. After letting me through it shows me that im owed £117 pounds to fedex but nothing else. How did this charge accumulate? I have had fedex deliveries from different merchants at all my addresses but was never told about any extra charges to pay at the time the deliveries were made. Whats this about?

My PH location is now charging employees $5 for losing/forgetting their badge

just when i thought it couldn't get any worse than the unpaid ride along I did as a contractor. Thank God I found a better full time job

Finally Done

I left Amazon for FedEx with a promise of lower stop counts and less packages, it was great at the beginning, and then 5 months later here comes this 2.0 BS and now everything is bad!
Leaving later, staying out later, more stop, skinny envelopes that’s easy to miss, even more IC’s! Smh I put in my 2 weeks, I rather go back to Amazon, at least we had health care

I put in a time off request months ago and it keeps getting denied, even if I have verbal approval from a manager

So I'm going on a trip the first week of October and I put in a time off request for it in April or early May, it got denied originally a little bit later so I asked a manager about it and he said that the ai running the app was malfunctioning and it denied a lot of time off requests, he said I was okay to buy my plane tickets and that I would be able to take those days off just as long as I reminded him when it got closer to the date, so I get the plane tickets, I make all the reservations and I put in another time off request so he could approve it.

Just today I reminded him about it and he said he would go and approve it when he had free time, later I received a notification that my time off had been denied, even after I talked to my manager about it, is this just the ai screwing up again or do you think I should ask him again? Do you think he decided to deny it himself even after he told me I would be fine to take those days off?

I'm so confused

2.0 sucks

Everyone working here hates it, so do I. We already had two people quit the second week in. They both came in and said “fuck this” and walked out. And about 8 more drivers are saying they want to leave and if things don’t improve they’ll be leaving as well. Most of them are veterans that have been with us for 10+ years. They also have no plan on working for FedEx in general. What the fuck is going on
