FedEx’s job layoff realignment means that since my job has been eliminated, I’m now given a choice of open positions to take. I’ve been with the company for 19 years, in a professional position for half of that time. I applied for a position I could qualify for, but it was quite popular; one of only 3 professional positions in the area. I didn’t get it. Neither did a Senior Manager who also applied for it and was waaay more qualified than me.
So what jobs were offered to me? Checker/Sorter or Handler. I would be the person who either stands at the conveyor belts with a scanner or the person throwing your packages into trucks or containers. Nice. I guess that means my time at FedEx is over.
Wish me luck.
