[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 731051, member: 24302"] They've known about me for awhile. And they know my record, what I've done for them and what has been done to me. I know that a senior mgr was demoted and later learned that the ops mgr involved in cheating customers, and me, is no longer with the company. This happened after I posted on FedExaminer what had happened while a domiciled courier in southern New Mexico. Not long after they established an 800 fraud hotline. May have had something to do with what I posted. As a Christian I did everything possible to avoid reporting them, but that senior became the senior mgr over an area that I wanted very much to be in although his office was 70 miles away. When he found out I had gotten the job he pulled it and told the mgr to offer me a part-time position instead. So I posted on Fedexaminer what had happened and figured if the company read the site they could make up their mind what to do. So I believe I've established with them that I'm honest, and have been treated badly by some rogue managers. I'm guessing quite a few couriers have experienced at least one bad mgr in their time. I've had the misfortune of experiencing one after another for more than half of my 11 years since being rehired. I put up with the stress, and physical toll because I wanted that pension.
