Is this true about working at FedEx, USPS, and UPS?

I remember being 17 or 18 and put in application for FedEx they replied back, we’d like to interview you. Please come to this address at 3am.

3am :what:

So it’s me, some brehs, and a group of white dudes looking like Paul Wall’s stunt doubles freezing our asses in front of a gated FedEx facility. Damn near a hour later they bring us in to tour the facility, brown ass depressing building like a Xbox 360 call of duty game. They shows all the employees lifting shyt and then tell us come back the next day for our 1st day of work.

Im all smiling like, “sure thing boss my man”:skip:


Got in my car and I’m at Jack in the box at sunrise thinking I was fukkin tired looking at these dudes lifting boxes and said, fukk that I ain’t about that life. Got my breakfast Jack and never answered their calls on my Kyocera phone.

Breh, I about did the same thing except I never walked in the building.

I was looking for a weekend job at one point. Applied to FedEx and they were about to hire me and train me.

Sat in the parking lot the 1st day looking at the building and said "nah"

Man told me I had to deliver an average of 150 packages a day. Downtown.

I already worked as an LTL driver making between 15-20 stops a day.

I already knew it wasn't going to be fun. Glad that part of life is over.

Never worked menial labour jobs but this sounds like cap.

Companies that large would have been sued to the enth degree not to mention most of them are union jobs.
Not cap it all if you ask people who work those jobs on a daily basis. It's a reason why the turnover rates are as high as they are and that's not even factoring how there's always someone dying from a workplace accident at Fedex. Only Fedex Pilots are union. Everyone else isn't.

I say that as someone who once lived near Fedex Main Headquarters and heard all of the stories about it and how grueling the job is.

My last manual labor job.. I wouldn’t have been able to do it if I wasn’t in the gym.

They couldn’t find anyone to save their life. Dude’s would come in for a day, couple days, a week at most and never show up the next day :mjlol:

After work I’d still put in 2-3 hours on the basketball court and hit weights after.

By Friday afternoon I was exhausted and had a headache lol.

Now I work a comfy ass office job with air conditioning and heat

Of course he is exaggerating. A riding mower weighs 600 lbs, he isn’t being asked to lift that.

I worked for FedEx Express for 9 years. Wasn’t that bad. The thing that gets you is it’s tedious work, some days it seems like the packages will never stop coming down that slide. That shyt was paid exercise for me though.

I didn’t know it was that bad lol

If the shyt is so heavy, how do they expect the driver to get it off the truck when he delivers it
