Why?

Jktshff... it sounds like it should be company safety policy to shut down running machinery while fixing a problem and that policy was ignored or is non-existant.
I wouldn't screw around with a problem like that just to free up a package...

I understand, but why is the op asking the question? Not enough info to comment.
Simple. OF you are assuming and you know what that is.

I like your username OP, but that's about all I can say here.

You're right jktshff but screwing around with active machinery is ALWAYS a bad idea if that is his real problem.. it sounds to me like that was going on... I know, I know, making an A$$ out of you and me is possible but I think unlikely..

I worked at UPS several years ago, and employees were forbidden from getting on an active conveyor belt. I saw employees get terminated immediately if they ignored this safety precaution, but in this case, I suppose it depends on FedEx management.

It sounds like maybe the OP was just trying to bring this to the attention of someone higher up the food chain than his/her immediate supervisor.

I am wondering why the OP didn't notify OSHA.
