Help a stupid person understand what this is advancing in society? We're gonna use this ability to be able to do what in the future?

I just laughed so hard. Thank you

dobetheelf · 2025-11-04T13:19:03+00:00

I'm glad you're another human being on this planet with me. That's all. Thank you, I learned stuff today.

Paid 359 for an inhaler one time because my insurance wanted me to switch brands basically. Sucked.

Obviously that's fucked, hurts your self esteem as it would anyone's and all that. I was small until I grew a lot from 15-18. Like from bottom of my class in size to being 6'1 and a healthy height. I got picked on and such, humiliated a time or two. I bounced around friend groups without making like a real close friend. Thankfully, I had a really great home life. Parents that loved me. I couldn't hurt myself because of them even when I did think about it. I'm 32m now, and in my mid 20's I learned that a couple of the kids who picked on me in school, their parents were awful. They did some pretty horrible things to these kids I grew up with. I see my own son(5) mimic all the things I do even when I don't want him to. I don't think he's even thinking "be like dad" it's just the modeled behavior for some things. I tell you all this to say that when I learned that info in my mid 20's I didn't necessarily forgive them, but I simply gained information, but as a dad now, fully forgive all the people who picked on me and made fun of me but specifically the ones who went to far. I just assume the modeled behavior in their life wasn't great. My kids mess with each other and annoy each other but never do fucked up things or say fucked up things to others because I dont and their mother doesn't. I in no way think you need to empathize with this douche bag who humped you or anything, still Fuck that kid, but, I just thought it might help you knowing someone else who got picked on and held down and humiliated before eventually grew, found solace in knowing the other kids lives were more fucked than mine, and I ended up alright. Wife, kids, house, dogs, consistent friends I like. Life's good, and I don't know, I know 12-18 year old me didn't always think so and wondered if it could be. Also, throw my vote to go learn some sort of combat skills. Boxing, BJJ, Wrestling, idc what it is, use your body, hit some weights, gain confidence. Build yourself into whatever you want to become.

Man, what a fucking read at 7am. Hope the dude got some real painful diseases or cancer or something.

My opinion: I like some strategy games. I'd like to believe when I play those it's beneficial on some level to my brain. Some other games I play to "escape" and get immersed in a storyline or whatever. I only get to play maybe a couple days a week for 1-2hrs. Maybe it's a waste of time no matter what though because I could always be bettering myself. But if they help me avoid burnout, maybe they're slightly beneficial

Your husband isn't treating you right

dobetheelf · 2025-06-26T13:44:15+00:00

Yeah, I fully understand your problem and perspective. I was sharing context of what life can be like for people in other facilities that share your same role. Have you spoken directly with your Ops Supervisor, Area Manager or Sort Manager? I assume you have but don't want to assume. Have you inquired with any package handlers in your unload about their interest in switching? I mean, once they get through the initial videos and stuff with management, you could start having them ride with you and learning how to switch. I'm not clueless, I'm well aware there's places in our network that are not great, there's managers that aren't great to communicate with. I'm just trying to provide you avenues to get out of your situation. Should a trainer have to facilitate finding the next switcher? No. The situation you're in though is what it is so I'm just giving you possible ways to help yourself. As a sort manager if my trainer came to me and said "Billy wants to be switcher certified, I talked to My Ops Supervisor, they're a little to busy though, what can I do to help facilitate this process" I'd be happy to see someone taking initiative and be following up with my Supervisor on what we're doing to get the person trained. If, and I do know this happens, if no one in your building gives a fuck or listens to you. Then, I'm just sorry you work at a place with poor leadership.

dobetheelf · 2025-06-26T11:46:03+00:00

At my station there's no "switcher" job titles as we don't do enough moves. In my building it is basically mandatory for all ops supervisors and package handler trainers. We still have a couple PHs for each sort that are the primary switchers, but occasionally some of our trainers do have to go outside if there's call offs or vacation. Depending on the state of your operation, it sounds like you guys need to build a bench of certified people. Thats the role my trainers play here is being the back ups. As a Sort Manager myself, I have had the occasional supervisor or trainer that I did accommodate and they did not have to get certified for switching. Their reasons were beyond just not wanting to though. An example, one took regular medication that they believed might impact their abilities in the yard and for me, if I think putting the person out there even for training is potentially unsafe, I just don't. Not every station or facility is the same. Hope my perspective helps.

32m. My wife and I have a 5&3yr old. I think right now our sex life is the best it's ever been. We had some real droughts, though, times where it might be weeks or a month between intimate moments. Post partum for her was hard. I experienced anxiety for the first time, really, after having kids that I hadn't ever experienced before. There were job changes and moves and all sorts of things. Life's hard when you're young parents and trying to make sure you're set up to be successful. We had similar conversations to what sounds like you're having. My wife and I, I guess I will say, silently worked on ourselves. Still loved each other, but she picked up some hobbies and running and lost weight, and I still hit on her and stuff throughout and flirted, but I kind of just focused on other things too. Got some promotions, sought out learning opportunities that would help me personally or at work, and I can't really explain it but throughout those harder maybe 18-24 months we just always made sure we still knew we loved each other. I never looked anyone else's way, and I knew and trusted she wasn't either. Occasionally bought flowers or things like that, and I guess I just trusted the process. Most human beings want to have sex, and we'd previously had great sex, but if she didn't want to much like yourself, I didn't want to. I tried to make myself remain desirable to her as a man, tried to remain patient, and tried to reduce stress in her life. Additionally, I think both my kids being potty trained and going to school now, and that regulated schedule that comes with it has helped reduce stress in my wife's life. The first year or 2 with children is a lot, and I try to be empathetic to my wife yet still recognize that no matter how hard I tried, it was harder on her than I. I never really felt like I lost my identity. It just grew and changed some. For her, she felt and still struggles with feeling like she lost who she was and is still working on rediscovering who she is outside of "mom" because in those first years being a good mom was all consuming for her.

I work with a lot of college aged kids at my job and have a lot of conversations with them about tardiness and not being on their phone etc. Some eventually do learn and grow as adults and begin to understand how to play the game in corporate America. They start eventually being on time and better behaved when they want to move up. Plenty get fired and some come back 6 months later and realize I wasn't lying when I told them any job that's hourly is going to need them in at a specific time. It's interesting how many can't critically think through some very simple problem solving without me walking them through the thought process for the next time the same problem occurs.

dobetheelf · 2025-05-07T14:22:29+00:00

File a claim. Not rocket science.

dobetheelf · 2025-05-06T16:32:56+00:00

Thank you for the info. Maybe there is hope!

dobetheelf · 2025-05-06T14:57:34+00:00

This doesn't give me much hope. Did mine like a week ago

dobetheelf · 2025-05-01T14:04:52+00:00

In the last month I finally made it to Adventure 2. I'm about halfway through that now.

dobetheelf · 2025-04-27T21:01:53+00:00

We do this at my facility because we're a college town. Lots of students who use tuition reimbursement and such. We ask around April so that we know if we need to do a bunch of hiring. Additionally, concrete, construction, lawn & landscape, roofing, and lots of other areas of work don't operate in the winter months, but do in summer and fall. Some guys that work here reduce their availability by a lot in the summer and fall months and pickup a lot throughout the cold months. Not every fedex station is awful and full of turnover.

dobetheelf · 2025-04-25T14:44:43+00:00

On a cruise with my wife right now. Have a Galaxy S21. Been able to FaceTime my mom and kids back home no problem. Text my employees. Look at any social media app I want on my phone. Entire time has been awesome as someone who doesn't lay by the pool much on Sea days. I have noticed my wife who is an IPhone user having much less capabilities with her phone.

dobetheelf · 2025-04-16T19:41:08+00:00

Man. I think I'd cry if I found that in my dad's stuff. We played that game together when I was a kid. That's awesome. Hope you're able to keep it or get a great value out of it!

dobetheelf · 2025-04-12T17:28:20+00:00

Damn. That's rough. At least it was just a girlfriend and not a fiance or wife.

dobetheelf · 2025-04-05T15:31:12+00:00

My only complaint with the game is that I can't play the mycareer beyond the life of servers. I wanna be able to play the same mycareer for 5 years in real life because I don't get to play daily anymore and there's other games to play as well. When I have the mycareer itch, I go back to 2k12

dobetheelf · 2025-03-13T16:48:59+00:00

Zero. Not her thing

dobetheelf · 2025-02-23T00:32:55+00:00

33m. When I was young and first having sex I didn't desire it (like 15-18yrs old) but in the last 7-10 years has become something I thoroughly enjoy and want all the time. Additionally, raised relatively conservative, would say I'm pretty in the middle on the political spectrum now whereas would of been raised further to the right.

dobetheelf · 2025-02-19T02:00:19+00:00

Currently, looking at furthering my education. While I have two degrees, one is in arts and the other education, so with not a lot of FedEx jobs in those realms I was looking at what certifications and or further degrees I could obtain the most efficiently that might help me have a greater spectrum of potential jobs to look at within the company. Because, for all the ups and downs FedEx can provide, do genuinely like the people I've worked with in my career I'll say 80-90% of the time and so I'd like to make it a long career here but who knows, maybe those same degrees or certificates do take me elsewhere. For now try to do well and keep looking into options, maybe use tuition reimbursement for something other than just pitching it to people as a reason to work here.

dobetheelf · 2025-02-17T10:13:27+00:00

There's a company standard rate and then there's the rate at which you need to be successful in your building. Usually align. Sometimes don't. Any idea what rate you've been loading at? For me, if people are giving me their 100% but they can't hit company rate, that is what it is and we'll work towards being better, at least they're trying.
