[QUOTE="TUT, post: 1039439, member: 29298"] This is right, but then knowing/living the history you read here you can see how some feel jilted. In one case the worker has to understand things change and not always for the better, for me even with the bad, if I can logically understand how we got to point B, I deal with it. To me it seems Fedex is like that, at one point all they knew was Express. They had $$$ coming out the yang (even though they profit more today, still struggling with this), they had one team and there was a family'ish type atmosphere. Then they spread out to Ground and LTL and everything. The one company was lost and now it's some bottom-line conglomerate. I get why the Express worker is upset, I get how it happened and if Fedex didn't buy RPS it would have been a different kind of equal pain for Express workers and I get how Fedex is swept up into the W.S. Corporate world, where Investors are the one's you make happy. I just wonder if I'll live long enough for the tables to turn back around? Who shed a tear here for the Steel Industry in America? The paper-mills? Etc. Being from the outside you see it coming and blow it off as logical progress etc. But there were people just as upset, betrayed and hurt more along the way. It's all related. So when you get the paycheck, if you feel shorted, you are the responsible person in making a decision of "should I look for something else?". [/QUOTE]
