Title pretty much says it but I’m a PH and worked today thinking was going to be able to work and make some money! Lol NOPE, got sent home after an hour and a half making less than a normal day. Was told I couldn’t call off so I came in.
I missed my family celebration and fireworks. I hate this place with a passion and plan to clock in and just sit there for my “shifts” until I’m fired.
I don’t think I’m gonna ever get over this and I’m pretty angry about this whole experience. Got hired in June and haven’t worked my full hours ever except for one day when I worked an extra hour and a half to “help” the next shift.
I’m sure others have had this experience (or something similar) but I just wanted to vent.

It’s not just the fact that my terminal is working today. I was also lied to by management. I was told weeks ago by management that we didn’t work on the 4th of July, so I didn’t bother requesting that day off. I only found out we actually do work yesterday, after hearing a coworker complain about having to work the 4th. Boss wouldn’t let me take the day off either.

Come this morning, I get woken up an hour and a half before start time saying the trucks are loaded and to come in now.

Very unorganized, miserable ppl and ghetto as hell. Orientation was literally for 1 day then these dickheads immediately put me on 2 trucks without any training whatsoever. And asking for help is an ultimate sin to these ppl, niggas sitting around chillin laughing their ass off, I'm over here tryna load 2-3 trucks I can barely manage 1. I'm a active person but I can only do so much. Why am I getting worked just as much as dudes at UPS that get paid MORE, like wtf bro I can't take it anymore I'm good dawg. If this wasn't a wake up call to get my life together, idk what is. Anyone living in the Norfolk/Chesapeake area DO NOT apply here 1401 Kelland Dr, Chesapeake, VA 23320. Anyway back on the job hunt

so I am trying to apply for the local FedEx facility near me and i have a hunch i am being denied for no damn reason at all, i have no criminal record and I have an open schedule plus warehouse experience, i wanted to work with the company again to at least have some semblance of an income again cause finding a job has been insane, when I tried to send my schedule that I couldn't do mornings cause I rely on the public transit system to commute for a job i got rejected immediately for putting i can do every other shift except morning sort, then I applied again and when I gave the same details it was crickets for a bit then denied two days later, does anyone have any idea for this reason like im stumped as to why im being denied so quickly once my application reaches the facility plus the facility i am applying to NEEDS workers they can't retain anybody at all from what my neighbor tells me, he says they need people yet don't seem to hire anyone, is this just a ghost posting for a job or is it management getting the applications and denying me?

I know it sounds stupid me posting this here yet im genuinely desperate for a job and im a risk of being homeless and finding a job is just insane in this economy, Amazon won't hire me either and i am unsure what the hell is going on, I have warehouse experience it just seems nobody is hiring at all.

This whole week at my facility, over 100 people have consistently called off every single day for the 2PM-9PM shift, mostly due to the heat (it’s been over 100 every single day this week). On Wednesday I was one of 8 people working, Thursday I had an eye appointment so I called off, yesterday I was one of 6. I put in 21K steps yesterday and I’m going back today for that time and a half ($26.55/hour). I’m fully expecting to be one of 3, 5 max.

Update: I was correct. 5 people for van lines today, obviously more were there for load, but my area had 5 people. The first hour I unloaded one truck, and it barely had anything, and at 3 the food that the managers cooked up came in. Bossman can grill a mean burger. After 3 though, it was down to 3 of us unloading (one was a tugger). Two of them were sent to smalls. We finished working at 6, but were told to wait until 6:30 for the remaining vans, and only one showed up. Dude had one tiny ass package. Easiest 4.5 hours of $26.55/hour ever.

Still getting used to the heat and sun, so far I'm drinking well over a gallon of water a day plus body armor. Was getting muscle cramps at first but those seem to be going away now. The biggest problem is I just start feeling drained halfway through the day, a heavy feeling is the best way to explain it. What do you other guys in the southwest do to cope with the heat?

I doubt it’s gonna go well barely anyone works Saturdays and I’m sure they’ll be a lot of call outs. We were going to get it off, but then they changed their minds.

Hello! Can anyone tell me the adp website link to update direct deposit? I work for freight and we were closed yesterday and today and forgot to do it when I left on Thursday lol

Not like I had anything I wanted to do tonight...

I try not to vent about bad days too often, but today was one where I wanted to force our living CEO into the driver seat and watch him do what we do.
