Can anyone out there working with this stuff explain the logic behind skipping stops and just leaving that "no one at home" note?

I get that it saves time but aren't there supervisor staff out there to chew people out for it?

Like today I was waiting for a fedex delivery and the guy drove up to my mailbox. Slipped in a note and drove away. The note saying that he tried to contact me but to no avail and since no signature could be had then no package could be dropped off and I had to contact customer support to arrange for another delivery date. This isn't the first time this has happened. A few years ago I chased a UPS truck to the nearest red light to get my package. I mean I live in a house, the lights are on and there's a car in the driveway so there's not much room for confusion. Like ring the loving doorbell.

It's tacitly encouraged by management by way of the impossible deliveries-per-hour FedEx and UPS demand of their drivers. FedEx drivers especially have really miserable jobs relative to their wage.

I could understand if they just dropped it at the nearest post office where I could pick it up but now we have to do this all over again tomorrow with the same ridiculous schedule "Tuesday before 18:00" Just an 18 hour window.
