[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 5568199, member: 58386"] What is going on here at Fat Freddy Inc. is nothing new. It actually started back in the1980's when the steel mills started going down. But, in the Fat Freddy Inc. situation there are 3 forces in play that makes it a bit different. 1. The company is not suspending operations or filing for bankruptcy. 2. No American based FDX jobs are going to Mexico or off shore to Asia. 3. There just happened to be a cheap inhouse labor source readily available that Fat Freddy believes has matured to the point where it can be entrusted with more valuable shipments. One similarity is that FDX Express people believed that a seemingly secure job loss was something that happened to somebody else but never them. Well, it's happening. There are a pair of cold hard facts in play here. 1. There is no such thing as a secure job in today's economy. 2. A company will treat it's workforce only as badly as the workforce will allow itself to be treated. [/QUOTE]
