They consider that a critical violation. Since you were on your probationary period they can fire you for having the wrong color shoe strings. Good luck in the future!!
Just out of curiosity.....since you went through the program and got fired do you have to repay a portion of the ddc fee?

Thankfully you have your retirement to lean on til you become "gainfully" employed again.Just an uneducated hypothesis,but I assume that type of thing wasn't any cause for alarm at Yellow? I laugh at all of our guys who have left SGF and have gone to our competitors because every one of them say the same thing,they are told by the competitors management constantly to slow down,or relax,or chill out,or take it easy your not at fedex anymore.
Our competitors need to send a lot of thank you cards to HRO and corporate for all the motivated,driven,and focused employees that have gone away.

Their installing a new electric fence around the perimeter of our facility. There will be 4 guard towers, one in each corner of the yard. Our new SCM has been given a staff car for his duties as he patrols our yard for nefarious and clandestine activities. We will all be indoctrinated and be given new uniforms as well. I look forward to this new chapter in FedEx life at my compound. I promise to uphold the FedEx creed and chant the purple promise slogan. Herr Mott has finally given us a leader who will guide and nurture us and make sure we will not stray fromm the task at hand.

Sorry to hear about your screw job you got. Good luck to you. Also were you really moving a trailer 1 door over? When I was in the yard we had a red shirt that liked to do that even when we were busy. We usually ignored him and tell him we just haven't gotten to it yet.

Move empty from 25 door to 27? That super should be the one canned for wasting time.
That's just a stupid trailer move no matter how you look at it.
And he probably raises hell at everybody else cause his #'s are in the toilet all the time.
Hmmm wonder why?

Oh yes, but lovingly called Dear Leader
Our region has gone to **** since old Mott took it over, my gosh the stuff that goes on and the trucks in our region, we also have the brain surgeon D Lemmond "lemonhead" as the regional FMM he is a tool, the kids he gets to manage centers crazy shure miss the old Brian P days!!!!
He was a good manager. And if you kissed his ass and hung out under his desk you were untouchable. He plays favorites way to much. His dad or uncle was high in the company and goes way back. His cousin is the North Fort Worth assistant mgr and then his cousin is a ops mgr in OKC. There's probably more.

Should this be under the "discrimination in hiring" thread? Sounds like in breeding to me.

Funny you should say this because he bears a striking resemblance to the commandant at my center.
I'd like to see them close a swinging door or rail before you pull it away from the dock. We have yellow cables they have to hook across the door when trailer is ready to be pulled.

"they can fire you for having the wrong color shoe strings", according to the new and improved employee handbook you can be terminated at any time for whatever reason they want to give you. I guess that's why they get sued so much. I think I would fight it but that's just the way I see them as passing the buck like they do.
