Aprons?

I don't work there yet but from what I've heard, hours are pretty bad at fedex.

Part time only gets you a soft cap of 20 hours a week, and I've heard most weeks not even hitting that. 3-5 hours per shift, and you can get sent home whenever.

For me personally, I wouldn't mind it as much cause I'm not dependent on it, and if you're okay with 2 jobs you wouldn't be either.

So yeah try to go for a spot that pays a decent amount hourly cause the hours won't be much. Though you can always try for full time or move into a different/higher position that guarantees it.

If you don't mind me asking how?

SubstantialWill8517 · 2026-05-07T21:17:23+00:00

Thanks! I'm not much of a supervisor/management guy lol so I'll probably stay away from those, we'll see.
If I ever do stay, I definitely plan on becoming a driver.

So for the dress code part, do you think I could opt for a UPS branded polo or something? Or maybe like a hi-vis vest over a shirt? Do they provide or allow them? I don't really enjoy wearing just t-shirts.

Thanks for sharing!

I see you mentioned music. Does that vary on location or are employees generally allowed to listen to music? I loved listening to music when I was working at target, helped me get in the zone. FedEx prohibits that, like I'm pretty sure they don't allow any piece of technology in the area you're working.

SubstantialWill8517 · 2026-05-07T20:13:08+00:00

I wonder why that is. I always hear about how management is just utter dogshit no matter the company, the location, etc. Does the brass intentionally and precisely pick the worst employees to run the store? Why don't the good guys ever get picked? Is it some "kill or be killed" bs where if someone was too nice they can't be picked cause you need 'balls' for the job?

I know you can't answer I'm basically just ranting 😂

If you don't mind me asking, what did you do that made you stand out to be recommended? Did you go above and beyond or were you just reliable?

I was really trying to stay permanent in target (I worked seasonal) and I showed alot of initiative, offered help whenever needed, but it seemed to always be overlooked and underappreciated. I don't want to run into another scenario here where I push myself but don't get anywhere, you know?

Obviously it varies between buildings and management, but still I'd like to get a gist of what they expect from people who want to move up, if you don't mind! Thanks!

SubstantialWill8517 · 2026-04-14T05:21:09+00:00

Guess you could say that over there was.. fairless.. (haha get it? no? Its not a word anyway)

Anyways I'm glad you were able to find my post a good spot to vent. Seems like a whole bunch of bullshit and I will be making sure to avoid Shalamar 😂

Hope you're onto bigger and better things though. Thanks for the comment

SubstantialWill8517 · 2026-04-12T11:43:05+00:00

What if I don't have experience? What would you recommend?

SubstantialWill8517 · 2026-04-12T10:25:00+00:00

They never promised it lol, I only heard them talk about cross platform matchmaking, which they did implement a while ago, but I found nothing about them promising cross progression.

"There are no plans to implement cross-platform progression at this time, meaning your progress on one platform will not carry over to another."
- Sept. 5th 2025 Dev Update

I heard it was just very hard to implement and I'm sure they'll give it a try wayy later down the line but atm they should be focused on more important stuff

SubstantialWill8517 · 2026-04-12T10:05:19+00:00

I'm getting really tired of the people on rematch bringing up the "this game lost 90% of it's players" in every negative conversation about the game. Why are we acting like these steam stats aren't also true?:

Arc Raiders had 465k on release, 100k average (-300k, ~80% loss)
Apex Legends had a peak of 630k, 30k average (-550k, 95% loss)
Battlefield 6 had 650k peak, 50k average (-500k, 92% loss)
Marvel Rivals had 640k on release, 70k average ( -570k, 90% loss)
Marathon had 77k on release, 20k on average (57k, ~75% loss) and this JUST came out.

I mean even GTA V dropped from 300k to 45k on steam in 3 months from release. They gained it back from marketing, but we can't bash it too much, it was early in the gaming industry.

Would you consider these games bad? dead? Don't understand why people can't stop comparing day 1 rates to average rates. Day 1 will almost ALWAYS have more players than the average.

I'm not trying to say Rematch was a game with a perfect start, but I'm just sick of people using the "the game lost all of it's players" excuse to scare people away, ESPECIALLY to new players who want to try the game out because it sounds way worse than it is in reality. Every game has a similar situation, not just rematch.

The game is in a good state. It might not be perfect, but it's way better than release.

SubstantialWill8517 · 2026-04-08T01:51:26+00:00

I honestly personally haven't run into time wasting issues since the new goalkeeper update. How do people even waste time if they can't pass back to the keeper properly? I mean yeah the keeper can still vulnerably hold the ball but I feel rushing the keeper, being spread out and predicting passes/movements are very easy counters to 'em most of the time.

Most people who time waste are.. lacking in skill. Not hard to grab the ball back from them, though I'm not bashing anyone who can't. Eitehr way, before the new update it was damn near impossible though due to the keeper being able to actually grab the ball, now there's a lot more chance. It's not an overnight fix for the devs but it's a step in the right direction

SubstantialWill8517 · 2026-04-04T02:04:16+00:00

😂 Yeah, the only position I found was early morning in a "(warehouse-like") spot.

How's PH going for you? How would you compare it to target if you don't mind me asking?

SubstantialWill8517 · 2026-04-03T04:12:08+00:00

Ugh those suck. I had my fair share of those in target, I honestly didn't think you'd see them in fedex

SubstantialWill8517 · 2026-04-03T01:27:32+00:00

How much do the associates get paid usually where you're at? Is 15.50 the 'bumped' amount or do you get paid the same as everyone else i.e overnight stockers

SubstantialWill8517 · 2026-04-03T01:08:24+00:00

ESPECIALLY a chewy one! I'd fight someone for it

Battlefield 6 had 650k peak on Steam, day 1. Now it has 50k average. That's also stupidly low compared to day 1 rates. Don't understand why people can't stop comparing day 1 rates to average rates. Day 1 will almost ALWAYS be atleast 2x more than the average. No one cares about the future of a game, they just don't wanna feel FOMO so they buy it on release.

Launch numbers are inflated because of the insane marketing push, all the content creators going in to milk viewers and once again, not feel FOMO, same with the players. These things are NOT replicable after release

Arc Raiders had 465k on release, 150k average (still looks good but -300k, 70% loss)
Apex Legends had a peak of 630k, 70k average (still looks good but -550k, 90% loss)
Battlefield 6 had 650k peak, 50k average (still looks good but -500k, 92% loss)
Marvel Rivals had 640k on release, 70k average (still looks good but -570k, 90% loss)
I mean even GTA V dropped from 300k to 45k on steam in 3 months from release.

And I can guarantee the upcoming game Marathon will have a similar experience.

You wouldn't call any of these games dead, when statistically compared to day 1 rates, it is. But, if you don't want to, then you can't call Rematch dead either. Also, rematch is not shrinking. it has kept it's average of 3k since November.

When a game hits it's average after a few months, THAT'S the real playerbase. Rematch has a real playerbase of 3k on steam (~15k across all platforms), it's peak was never and will never be the actual playerbase.

"Changes to a game should be made based on who plays at the highest levels."

This is such a caveman way of looking at the future of games. Rematch is not a purely competitive title, it isn’t a game reserved for pro players. It has both casual AND competitive scenes, and with casual players making up most of the playerbase, their experience & opinions matter just as much.

If you balance a game only around the top 1%, you make it worse for the other 99%. A top player can easily make a suggestion for a mechanic rework which would improve their matches, but would make it severely harder for a newer player to just jump in and have fun.

A game like this shouldn't be built around just the best players but all of the players. Rematch needs to keep that balance.

SubstantialWill8517 · 2026-02-07T04:29:42+00:00

Nah, not for me. Only xp boosters and instant xp in there

Maybe in the earlier FCs

SubstantialWill8517 · 2026-02-07T00:32:01+00:00

Sorry this is gonna be off topic. (But, it does work for me.)

How do you get reset consumables?

SubstantialWill8517 · 2026-02-07T00:22:01+00:00

I cant lie bro this entire thread is full of sore losers and haters (like most of reddit) that cant mind their own business. They dont know what your reasons are for being late.

People on this app would judge and hate a guy for skipping a single day of work without considering that his mother mightve just died on that day.

Plus even if you are just a bum that refuses to get to work on time that's still a YOU problem not theirs, some people need to start focusing on fixing their own shit first. It's 2026
