This is written like a circa 2000 email forward. Aside from the dubious story and assertions that this was the reason Fedex had reliability problems, and assumptions that workers are inherently lazy and must be manipulated to put in their full effort... extracting the maximum amount of effort possible out of low-level employees is not something we should blindly applaud. Here's a propublica story about FedEx workers dying and being maimed because they were pushed to work too quickly to do it safely: https://www.propublica.org/article/fedex-prioritizes-packages-over-employee-safety-workers-and-experts-say https://www.propublica.org/article/fedex-prioritizes-package... Also, paying laborers salary without having a defined end to their work day invites abuses by employers— it's one of the disgusting ways restaurants squeeze hours of unpaid time out of kitchen staff. Maybe they needed to hire more people because night work was more difficult for some logistical reason, or even just more tiring because the world is at odds with their life schedules. Lots of companies pay significantly more for third shift work for that reason. Did they? This whole thing is just propaganda and justification for shitty, manipulative management practices.
