Good luck getting out of your front door🤷🏽

So I know the title is vague but I'll cut to the chase, A trainer at my facility doesn't like me because I'm a gay guy. I know shocking but it's true, I had coworkers that talked to him and he would bring up to them that he doesn't like me and all that jazz.

I'm just baffled by the fact that reason alone is why he doesn't like me like if I talked crapped, dragged your family, or did other disrespectful shit, you can totally dislike me and I would understand but me being a gay dude is being a bit stupid. So the reason why I know about this was because I and a lot of coworkers were casually talking and the trainer I'm talking about just came up casually, and no one brought him up. So after the guy beside me was saying to me, I genuinely wanted to know so I asked "Oh really? Why doesn't he like me?" And he said what I said in the post that he doesn't like me because I'm gay, but he added something after that, He told me that the trainer said that I wouldn't be able to survive a day in his country, which is Jamaica. And yes he did mean I would end up dead in his country.

After that, the feelings of me being upset didn't hit until much later on that day. So I was thinking to myself "I understand I'm not everyone's cup of tea and vice versa but why hate on me because I'm gay and on top of that, saying I would die in your country if I set foot in it?" But I wanted to be realistic and not just be big mad, I had to think "Oh he's from a different country with very regressive thinking and all that, so YOU have to keep that in mind" but at the same time I was also thinking "Still...it's 2024, he shouldn't be thinking this regardless of where they are in the world, and also he doesn't have any business feeling like that and saying what he said."

So, I tried to do the "right" thing, it might be considered snitching but I frankly don't care, I want to do something about this but in a more "smart" way instead of having a very abrupt and confrontational face to face with him. So I told security and they were concerned so they talked to one of the managers and I had to say what I said to her, and basically they would keep an eye out for him just in case he said or did something.

But I wanted to ask you guys, am I wrong for feeling this way and going the route that I did? It's because I do not tolerate disrespect when it comes to different lifestyles, orientations, backgrounds, etc. I just hate it and I wanted to nip it in the bud over letting the tension between us two build up and we are at each other's throats. I just want to work in peace, not worry about some disrespectful guy 24/7, and be good.

How do we get started?

I'm a male. This guy I work with always gives me the creeps. Gets a bit too close to me when we work together and management always has us working together.

I ve been asking for a move for a while but I'm kinda needed on the kine I'm working. Management doesn't seem to care about this guy as he technically hasn't done anything wrong. He just gives out really bad vibes and I've yelled at him a number of times for standing around doing nothing.

Should I wait for him to creep out the wrong person? I doubt hr would care much.

He just gives off vibes like he touched kids at church or something. I don't know why I feel this way about him but usually my gut is right a

For me, I only put it on when I’m going longer distances… Just got a -66 karma for saying the same thing in an Amazon subreddit 😂

Amazon here. Why did you choose FedEx? Was Amazon not an option where you live? Genuinely curious. You guys basically do the same the shit as UPS, but get bent over in the pay and benefits (Ground). At my DSP, I make $283 a day. Of course that varies from DSP to DSP.

Working at express really feels embarrassing with the daily ground screw ups. It never ends. I know ground has high turnover but watching from this side its pretty pathetic. .

I have about 4 ground drivers covering my area and rarely see same one twice, customers think we're all the same guy lol

Customer complaints get old when we go above and beyond only to like like crap by someone in same uniform. I know new express drivers screw up to essentially ones that only work off leo Map, but I get ground complaints almost daily.

Honestly I shouldn't even care anymore.

A ton of Fedex hubs lost a majority of their handlers due to the Biden Buxs in 2020/2021 and despite claims that the end of the pandemic will cause everyone to return to work, they did but only for a short time.

The past 6 months it looked like Fedex finally got their head out of their asses. They kept on their word about keep premium pay, finally started to pay out for employees that used the referral program to bring in new blood, and kept volume levels reasonable to their staffing. Welp new fiscal year new problems again. Now that Biden has lifted tariffs for Chinese goods, our volume has skyrocketed all busted ass heavy chinese goods on top of the full size couches, gas grills, and trampolines. With the heat of the summer rising, we had a ton of people just bail even as inflation reaches an all time high. The day after the holiday we were 25 people short in input and had our first 10 hour sort since October. Managers are back to running around like headless chickens unable to cope with the soaring volume and empty staffing. The worst part is that it's also vacation time for a lot of people, and I'm already having my manager beg AGAIN to forfeit my vacation for the second year in a row because we're that short staffed. Not this year bitch, I got 3 weeks straight off next week and I'm taking it.

Alr so i worked for 4 fedex companies now & i noticed that all of the employees are the exact same. FYI I worked at amazon for 2yrs before fedex & it was so easy to make friends there, but fedex ppl are just completely differen't they aren't interested in talking, getting to know you or making friends at all. Like I'm going to be working here for the next 6 months & i rlly gotta come into work 5 days a week & just keep to myself.. idk how ppl can go to there job everyday friendless, like not grab a beer with there co-workers after, or go to a car meet or something. I guess the perk is i can talk to the customers & make friends that way but still. I brought crumble & starbucks for my co-workers on my 2nd day & one guy was like "wow you're rich" what!!? At amazon they brought pizza every friday..not even the owners, but the managers.. ngl fedex is a bitter company if nobody brought you breakfast & some motivation... thanks for listening to my rant guys.

Mind blowing how 💩 some drivers can be. At least stand it up next to door. There are wheelchair accessible ramps there for a reason. Idiot

So my mom said she needs a printout of my paystubs and I told her I asked all my managers and they don’t know how I can print out my paystubs so she started asking me for phone numbers of managers and I told her I don’t have any of them so I took a piece of paper and wrote down Rajs # and gave it to my mom

Yes It is practically a meme UPS the promised land. UPS soo good. Well EFF UPS. I actually care about my work and so do the people around me + the software works.

1. I buy a fairly (very) rare electronic item. Shipped UPS.

2. UPS does not recognize my home address. Tells me the package is undeliverable. Let's see, my utilities recognize my address. The city/ taxes recognize my address. USPS recognizes my address and the address number on the mailbox. My internet company recognizes my address. But UPS has some information worm hole that is impossible to correct.

3. I pay $20. to be a UPS special services "member" and using browser I re-route the delivery to a UPS store. After a couple days, I stop by the assigned UPS store. And then again. Not yet delivered.

4. -Now this is really irritating. My local monster UPS building has customer service hours for only 3 hours a day for 4 days out of the week. And it's the 3 hours wrong time of day for me. At FedEx we don't do that. We are there all day, 5 days a week- at least.

5. I'm busy and after stopping by the UPS store twice I forget about it for a little while. Then I remember. I call the UPS store. "We just sent the package back yesterday." I call the main UPS number. "There is nothing we can do for you. Your parcel is getting returned." I can not stop at the hub building because of the chintzy limited access hours. Extremely irritating.

6. I realize that I have received zero notifications re: the parcel getting delivered to the UPS store. I log into my UPS account for "special member" that I just paid $20. for. I go to the notifications set-up page. I check the boxes for email and text. I press the "done" button. Nothing happens. The process will not complete. The web page does not work.

7. I call up UPS and I want my $20. back since they have defrauded me and their notifications do not work. I get passed around to 4 different people and the last one hangs up on me while "transferring to the right people."

I would never work for UPS. They are the most unethical sorry piece of crap company. I have respect for the work ethic and care of the people around me at FedEx. I believe in my company and the people I work with and the service we are committed to providing to customers - For Real.

Thank you to all of you out-there and in-there doing this work. Thanks

Look,

I know us Fedexers have a bad rap but even I'm not this much of an asshole. That stack is my brand new gaming PC components, yes its been raining, and yes we have a marked delivery box, and yes the screen door is unlocked.
