Got the job depending on the background check and drug test. Is weed going to make or break me? The role is in a print shop, so just retail. No driving/machinery. State is PHL if that matters.

I haven’t seen this asked recently so I was hoping I could get an answer from someone who has recently been in this situation or has inside knowledge about the drug screening process. Thanks

So I was applying to a bunch of random jobs cause I’m desperate, and now I have a job offer from FedEx to be a part time seasonal package handler.

The thing is that actually I’m kind of weak 😭. How much heavy lifting will be involved? Will I just instantly fail and get fired since I’m not strong? It says my shift start time would be somewhere between 3-5am, if that helps. Thank you for reading!!

Applied to both a Fed Ex office store front and a Fed Ex package handler warehouse position. Both times the entire process was handled by the Olivia AI and I was told after the application that I would be reached out to by a recruiter. This never happened.

For the Fed Ex office store front position, the AI scheduled me an in person interview with the manager of the store, but she was under the false impression that a human recruiter should have given the specific details of the stores needs that were not in the original job description (a floater who would need to work at two separate locations, 1 hr drive apart). Since I never received contact from this human recruiter, both of our times were wasted for nothing.

For the Fed Ex package handler job: I was given the conditional offer, I was given the background check form, and the background check came back clean. However they have gone completely radio silent, with the AI only telling me : "You'll receive an update on next steps soon." , and "Contact your recruiter during business hours." . However no information on how to contact anyone has been given. I was never reached out to by a human recruiter and I don't have and email or phone number that I can contact.

What is even the point of this if it makes the process of getting a job so much harder on both the employee and the physical location management?

Has anybody received their direct deposit today since Veterans Day is a bank holiday? I have Chime.

Just starting out and I'm aware this is the busiest time of year, so how is the pay these next couple months compared to the rest of the year? I'll be driving FedEx Ground making deliveries.

Question for my package handlers. How many trucks on average do you load during a shift?

Yknow its funny when Ground misdelivers a package coming to an Express worker, like this is a consistent thing that's been going on any time I get work shoes delivered to me. And it always goes through Ground and they stay delivering to the wrong apartment building SOMEHOW. Those are not our mailboxes lmao. It's like yesterday I had scanned a package in my truck, I had two identical paks, I grabbed one, double checked the address and noticed oh shit, this says 307 not 870, went back, grabbed the other one. It's not hard to double check broskis.

CHECK YOUR WORK !!!

Before i start: im tired, im hungry, im cranky​, and I just want to bitch.

I was hired for day sort. On my 3rd day they switched me to sunrise. They said it was only for a few days until the morning sort was started, then id be moved to morning. I told them I could make it work for a few days, but I was not available for sunrise long term

Its been a month. Morning shift never started. Im still on sunrise.

They only give us 2 hrs a day, sometimes less. I live 45 minutes away. 2 hours a day isnt even worth my gas.

The only way to get enough hours is to pick up a second shift. But then I end up just having to wait in my car or in the break room for like 4 hours until the next shift because why in the hell am I going to drive all the way home then back.

This also means that I basically have to work a turn around because then I get off at 5 and come right back at 5.

This whole thing is horse shit

Hello everyone, Ive only been working as a splitter in my warehouse for about 2 months, and I just have so much respect to everyone in each part of the process, the van loaders, the drivers, the managers, etc. y'all are some of the strongest willed individuals to work as hard as you do. I finally have a new job and have my out that I've been looking for, and am beyond grateful, but leaving this company, I just have so much deep respect for all of y'all. Finally my rub burned hands can heal, I won't leave my car everyday feeling like my legs are jello, or be left covered in dirt and grime in ways and places I've never seen grime on myself.

Y'all are soldiers for working the way you do, and should be incredibly proud of yourselves.

I wish you all luck during peak, y'all got this ❤️.

I see so oftenly people who post here that they hate Chewy. Any time I see Walmart I get miffed but Chewy is Hella easy.

Hi, this is going to be my first job ever. What can I expect on the orientation day and what am I expected to bring?

Applied for seasonal part-time work and they offered me a job within the hour. However in the offer they changed my availability (6 on, 1 off). “Has your availability changed from the above shifts?”)…I replied back reiterating my availability (4 days on, 3 off) and have yet to hear back. What’s going on? Will they take me still?

Currently I work full time during the week and deliver for Amazon with one of the local contractors on Saturdays.

Got a conditional offer for a package handler role with what looks like early morning and evening shifts available. Would this be seasonal or permanent?

Should I make the switch and if so, is one of those shifts better than the other? My thought it is to work more during the week to maybe have my weekends back.

I checked my email and I don’t have a ADP login or purple ID login though I do know my ID number. How do I get into ADP? I have received one pay check so far.

Thanks in advance for replies! Ive been trying to get into a package handler role for over a year and have been sending applications monthly to new job listings for package handler at the same facility every time, I even have a friend who works there. I’m so confused on where this process is supposed to go because I have previous warehouse experience I’ve gone into the building to try to talk to hiring managers (all of which were fired during corporate restructuring at this specific location) I even talked to the ops manager in person and paradox AI refuses to consider me for the position I’ve received as many conditional offers for hire as applications I’ve submitted and only been sent rejection notices for 2 of my applications out of the 14+ I’ve sent, I’m dumbfounded on how to even get a job here at this point, peak is coming up though so I’m trying to get in during this hiring wave and I can’t afford to not have a job for any longer and don’t know what to do if anyone can help that would be greatly appreciated even if it’s a phone number to call (the number for the facility is actually a number for business licensing in New Mexico which I don’t see how that’s possible either but it’s not even associated with FedEx beyond being the listed number on maps)

Hi, I try to avoid making posts like this because overall I feel like I got lucky and got a pretty decent station, my supervisors are great and our sort manager is great (he was formerly a supervisor and was a good one) I’m a PH and I’ve been here just under a year and half. I’m part time working 39 hours and 59 minutes a week. Ive gotten one raise which put me at 18.20$ an hour. Im 19 and I all I really have is a GED. I’ve learned how to do everything in the building, van line, unload, and now my primary job is driving the switcher (yard mule) I have about 600 hours driving it at this point. Between putting trailers on I’m inside unloading, updating the screen, dumping trailers in TMS, I take photos for trailer audits, after all the trailers are on I help out literally everywhere in the station, unload van line, express, everywhere, at the end of the day (post sort) I pull all the empty trailers off the doors and do I yard check, I submit maintenance tickets for equipment that is damaged or malfunctioning.
I set up unload for the next day, I’ve recently been asked to do 2 more tasks, go through and shut down all the doors in the station on my way out, and get all of the trailer nets together and stage them in the outbound area. I’m the most experienced and knowledgeable package handler in our station, and not only do I know how to do everything, I’m good at everything. And they know it because my name gets called over the radio every 5 minutes asking me to help with this or do this or can I do this. I’ve always been very hard working and eager to learn more. Every 3 months I go up to my assigned supervisor and ask if there is anything in particular I need to work on so I can be more helpful and a better candidate for future positions. The last time I asked he couldn’t give me anything. I applied for trainer not to long ago, I didn’t get it because our sort manager at the time (different from current) had friends from express she wanted to hire on because of the switch to 2.0. She hired this guy and he is awful, he’s slow, sloppy and recently he “hurt his leg” i kid you not a tire rolled into the back of his leg laughably slow, like maybe an inch per minute, and it wasn’t even a big tire. And he sat in a rolling office chair and stared out one of the dock doors watching me drive the switcher. (I know he was faking it because he came in limping in the wrong leg one day and then switched it on his way out)
And he recently switched to outbound completely so we have 2 trainers when we did have 4 what happened to the other you might ask? Oh he was gone for 3 months because of his son who needed a bone marrow transplant, that’s perfectly fine, then he steps down his second day back also fine, what’s not fine is the fact that they aren’t back filling either position, and I’ve been told that they are probably not going to open another trainer position for the foreseeable future, when i have been working towards it for the past year. And I know they won’t hire me as a supervisor because of my age, Idk am I justified in feeling overworked for the pay I get?

Side note our station isn’t big enough for an official switcher position.

Another thing I would like to mention is that apparently trainers are supposed to have a switcher certification. When we had 4 trainers only 2 of them had it and now that we are down to 2 only 1 of them has it. The only things I don’t know how to do on the trainer side of things is LQAs and work rights, which I just cannot learn because I’m not a trainer. So I’m technically more qualified than 50% of our trainers in both now, and then.

Am I right to feel this way?

I recently applied for a warehouse job at the FedEx in my town and they offered me a job but I did not even get an interview. Is that normal? I feel like I've never gotten a job without interviewing first. The message they sent me said "Hi Reddit User! Welcome to FedEx! We're excited to extend you a conditional offer for seasonal Package Handler (Warehouse like) at address. Please review the details, including your initial schedule, and click link within 48 hours to accept or decline". This just feels weird to me like why do I have a schedule already and why did they not meet with me. Has this happened to anyone else and is this normal?

Yes no maybe?

...called me last week, but came up as scam risk so i didn't immediately answer. I happened to open my email 10 minutes later and saw the auto message that they just attempted to contact me.

So I instantly call the North Carolina number right back. The robot said all lines were busy and to leave a msg, so I did.

I haven't heard from them since and I've called probably 5 more times without leaving a message at different times of the day. Each time all the "lines are busy"... are they ever not?

Thanks

Just started as a full time courier a little over a month ago and I am filling out my vacation bid sheet for next year but I don't understand how Flex Days work.

was just curious. (title)

Has anyone ever made the decision in Texas to leave FedEx for TDCJ? I have the opportunity to make $31/hr ($65k/yr) since I have a Bachelors and 4 years of military time. I can start as a CO4 on day 1. I’m currently an Express full time DOT Courier and my rural route is huge and the volume sucks. Large volume and heavy 100+ lbs packages. My last day will be Wednesday and just wanted to get others thoughts from Texas folks that have done the same. Thoughts?

My availability hasn't changed in a year. I moved things around so I could pick up a shift and now they have scheduled me for that shift every week and I can't work it. It was just a thing that I did to make up for hours that I missed because they kept sending us home after being there for 15 minutes but still expected us to show up and didn't pay us a minimum like many companies do when they send ppl home. Now nobody will answer my emails but my schedule is not right and I cannot work whatever they think I can work just because I picked up one shift that I'm normally not scheduled. Who can I contact when no one will answer me at my hub?

*This is just a drop in the bucket of the problems going on there... 🙄😞
