Last year flowers to MIL made it there a week late. They were florist delivered flowers, not FedEx. It was unbelievable how late they were. This year we got the flowers delivered in a FedEx box. They made it there on time.

"Overloaded?" Wonder who's fault that is?
Should the driver drive while fatigued? Does management insist on doctor's notes every time a courier calls in sick? What are the "FAR limits" for a driver? Should a courier be allowed to spend scheduled time off with his/her family?
We're in the same business. We have the same management. Would not surprise me to find that other employees have similar issues and complaints. Wonder if management "reinterprets" their contract as often as they reinterpret ours… ?
… Oh, wait…

Seems to me that management's job would be to manage these rules, then balance them with the staffing and overtime money available in order to meet the huge customer demand on one of the most important delivery days of the year.
Or they could just sit around and ***** that every group wants too much, have lunch at Owen Brennan's and then go home. Apparently either way works at the NEW FedEx.

Just in the interest of full disclosure, I looked in the window to Owen Brennan's one time.....
