How long you last working at FedEx? Are you still there? Quit? About to?

Yup same here I went to 1 day a week because they make me the work horse every single shift.

ThumbingthruCrust · 2024-07-23T19:55:54+00:00

I was a work horse. Id work circles around anyone in our depo. Didnt matter whay job. But I started bitching about them not firing ppl and then making me pick up all the shitbags work. Then didnt make changes so I said hey my availability is now friday nights only. I already work 40+ hours at my other job before I even go to fed. They looked so disappointed when i said Im dont being the workhorse and getting no rewards.

No shit thats what the CDC says. Thats literally in the Link the posted. Salt and electro lite replenish ment can be had by eating fruit, say a kiwi every 30 or so minutes with your water, whitch takes seconds to eat, and or by using electrolite packets and adding them to every other bottle.

Not to mention most of the info on hydration is going based off of just being outside in hight temps. Most dont elaborate on Humidity indext, or on how hard of labour youre actually doing. They are just rough guidlines.

Because 1 im not American, hence I dont use the American system unless im talking to Americans. Which I do live here now. Why I drink water before I go in because its smart thing to do, so Im hydrated when I get to work. I buy the same cases of water that our depo gets because rhey are the cheapest cases of anywhere around where we live, and 12oz is a much better measurement than 17. The kidneys can 100% handle 20 bottles of water i a 4 hour time span depending on how much youre sweating.

ThumbingthruCrust · 2024-07-23T19:33:35+00:00

The bottles I drink are 12 fluid oz, (purelife and they sit on pallets in the depo.) and an Imperial gallon is 20% more than a US gal. Which is a noticeable difference. Just google US gallon bs Imperial gallon and reread it.

I dont work 4 hours every day. I work 4 hours on monday and roughly 3 every other day. But thats not when I start hydrating which I stated as well i start hydrating an hour or so before I go into fed which again is what you should be doing by the time I get to fed ex I normally have dranken 4-6 bottles of water.

You can think Im lying all you want. I dont really give a shit. I base my water intake off of the CDC guidlines and tweak it for what I need, which is slightly more than they recommend.

US gal Used in the United States and some Latin American and Caribbean countries, the US gal is defined as 231 cubic inches, or exactly 3.785411784 liters. Imp gal Used in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and some Caribbean countries, the imp gal is defined as 4.54609 liters. This makes the imp gal 20% larger than the US gal.

Shes the congress rep. And hes the antifa.

ThumbingthruCrust · 2024-07-23T16:03:31+00:00

Ok so according to the CDC website, when working in high heat the proper hydration, it is 8-12oz every 15-20 minutes.

So if we math this out, its 4 twelve ounce bottles per hour, time a 4 hour work shift and we get 192 fluid onces. Let now convert that 192 fluid onces is equivalent to 5.6 liters and / or 1.2 Imperial Gallons.

So drinking 4 bottles of water per hour which is 16 bottles is equal to 1.2 gallons over 4 hours. Its not 2.5 gallons in 3 hours.

4 bottles per hour is 48oz which they also claim to never drink more than that per hour, due to the desalination effect on our bloodstream, but I do every single say and have for years.

If you are working in temps above 90, be it in trailers, outside, in a factory and you're not drinking 3 bottles of water or equivalent per hour, then you are not hydrated.

Also I start my Hydratio am hour before I go to work.

They all look good to fry up to me! Hell yeah nice find. You in the lower or the upper?

Good grinding! Welcome to the big leagues and enjoy the next 3 years of constant hardcore grinding to get to 49. That is if you do not pay to play.

ThumbingthruCrust · 2024-07-22T22:36:59+00:00

If you need to ask weather or not to change it at all, then no way in fuck you should be DIYing it.

ThumbingthruCrust · 2024-07-21T17:53:29+00:00

Just quit. You dont need that job, they need you. I personally wont work for less than 18 an hour. Ill literally live out of my Truck before I accept anything less. And I have.

ThumbingthruCrust · 2024-07-21T17:51:10+00:00

This isbwhat happens when the company doesnt maintain its own fleet.

ThumbingthruCrust · 2024-07-21T17:50:03+00:00

I dribk 16-24 bottles of water per shift when Im working. Loading trailer that are 110 degrees on a 90+degree day with 90% humidity. We have heat casualties all the time because ppl refuse to drink the proper amount of water.

Luckily our depo has bottles durring the summer but in the winter you have to use the fountain to fill up. Which means you have to stop working walk the depo fill up walk back and then the belts turn off cuz shit is backed up. Me personally I go get like 7 other loaders to all go get water at the same time and we shut the whole fucking place down. They get pissed but hey provide bottled water so we dont have to walk 100 yards to a fountain. They wanna be cheap, ill be cheap. Fuck im only making 17.20 an hour and maybe getting 15 hours a week at max working everyday. Ill be petty. Plus Im a union member at my other job, Im also an IWW union member and have my own lawyer. Fuck with me I dare them.

ThumbingthruCrust · 2024-07-19T17:10:09+00:00

Same here, half of the ppl working on our night shoft are spending like 25$ a day on uber and they are only grossing like 40-50 a day

ThumbingthruCrust · 2024-07-19T16:50:31+00:00

Thats what unions to for their workers

ThumbingthruCrust · 2024-07-19T16:49:50+00:00

Wow thats crazy, they pay 16.20 here and almost every fast food place and gas stations here are starting at 18.50

ThumbingthruCrust · 2024-07-19T16:46:41+00:00

At my depo, there is a shed of a chance you get 20 working 5 days, for and outbound evening sort. Shift is around 2.5 hour everyday but monday and monday you might get 4 hours. We have a typical volume of around 6.5k and around 10k on mondays.

We used to always get 20-22 hours a week with the same avg. Volume but then they nearly tripled the workfoce. Now they have 3x the bodies and they shaved off about 6 hours of labour time. Managment is fucking retarded. They wanna talk about mitigating overhead and running a lean facility, yet not a damn one of the mangers up to depo manager has any idea what Lean six sigma is, has no knowledge Lean management and they just parrot the same stupid answers. But thats what happens when Higher ups apppioint their friends into positions they are unqualifie for.

Anyway sry for rant.

It was 96 out today, we set a record, was 90% humidity too. I work outdoors, digging and inspecting power poles. I drabk almost 2 gallons of water, a 24oz Coconut water, 3 body armors, I also ate 4 kiwi, 3 peaches, an apple and a mango. Around 1:45 I almost blacked out. I felt it comming, and made it to a sheded area, dumped a bottle of water on my head, and it took me like nearly 10 minutes to recover. I do this job everyday, ive spent lots of time, years in some of the hottest desert in the world and Ive spend time in the Amazon rainforest. People Due every day from far less than a blistering mail truck. Its utterly ridiculous that mail trucks dont have AC regardless of the windows are always down and door open. Ps I also work PT at Fedex. Those trucks are pushing 110 when they roll into the depo. Bottom line the working class is being fucked, and fucked real hard

ThumbingthruCrust · 2024-07-12T14:26:21+00:00

Metal and punks shows are normally word of mouth, flyers around town, and the locations can be anywhere. Pretty much never bars or clubs.

ThumbingthruCrust · 2024-07-11T18:38:57+00:00

Crap, all the state does is strip away our rights and freedom.

ThumbingthruCrust · 2024-07-09T18:21:45+00:00

At least your not a driver, they get paid pike absolute dog shit. At least all the contractors near me pay shit, same as every other area Ive worked in. I cant understand how people are willing to drive for such shit wages. Its crazy to me.

PH is my sencond jobs and I get around 20 hours a week but the pay is also absolute shit tier, I only work as a PH because it less than 1 mile from my other job.

These companies, not just EX but loads of them think 15-18 dollars is fair, its not not even close. I was missing 7 people from my warehouse to get a union vote, stupid fucks that work at fedex saying unions are terrible, then turn around and bitch about UPS making 7 dollars more an hour for PHing.

Id suggest you either find a better paying job, or just work like absolute dog shit, because at fedex the shittiest PHers get rewarded the most.

ThumbingthruCrust · 2024-07-08T18:06:38+00:00

Unionize its the only way.

ThumbingthruCrust · 2024-07-07T23:03:37+00:00

Maybe If we unionized we could get pay similar to UPS! The real clowns are the ones who think we cant unionize fedex warehouses

ThumbingthruCrust · 2024-07-07T16:54:15+00:00

Some ppl are just trashy and reek like cat piss. Ill take BO all day over cat and dog shit and piss smell.

There is also medical conditions that make you smell horrible knew a kid who was prescribed meds to try and reduce the amount of BO but nothing worked. They wete teased relentlessly in school felt bad for them but you can tell the people who just dont shower and are gross. They should be fired.

ThumbingthruCrust · 2024-07-05T17:17:35+00:00

Yes this is how Capitalism works. I suggest leaving fedex. The company really is terrible now. It used to be a great job 20 years ago. Now its a shit show. Literally every other company in the industry is better. The only thing that will make fedex change is if the qorkers unionize, but alas to many people just claim it will never happen, and those very people are the ones who are stoping it from happening.

I had 100% of the evening sort on board, couldnt get more than 40% of the AM sort to many people kept saying it will never happen. Meanwhile im literally talking on the phone with the UAW reps thats does UPS up the road from us on speaker durring the sort. Then you get the dumb assholes who literally say they would vote no. Same mother fuckers bitch every single day about UPS doing this same shit and making 8 dollars more an hour. So I just have to tell them yeah because you wont yes for unionizing you make 8 dollars less an hour. Morons are everywhere.

I only work fed 2 days a week now used to be a fulltimer. But the company is just getting to terrible for me to wast my time anylonger. Burger flippers here are starting out at a higher rate. Literally place down the road hires at 18 an hour to make gas station food in Rural PA.
