[QUOTE="snackdad, post: 977111, member: 30266"] There is a standard set for older couriers that is much different for "friends of management" or new hires. Intimidation and veiled threats are the norm. I had one manager that would threaten me if "I did not achieve the numbers she set forth for me she would come down heavy on me" despite the fact she is too busy to give a check ride and when she does do a check ride spends the whole time on the phone trying to figure out her messy personal life. I hear she is drinking on the job again. Even the senior manager said in a State of the Station meeting that the station would never run right until we got rid of all the older (she implied disgruntled) employees. Same manager told me the courier position was thought of in Memphis as a 3 to 5 year position. That is not the shining image they sell you when you are a new hire. Express really is on the way out. It is an outmoded business model in a day of disposable workers and evaporating benefits. I expect the company to keep flying Pandas and retarded Seals around the world, sponsoring race cars and score boards and fooling the general public about the use of Green technology to keep it's public image intact. Behind the scenes FedEx will be destroying good middle class jobs, cutting benefits, profit from illegal business practices, thumb their nose at state and federal labor and safety laws and make everyone they can a contract worker with little or no benefits.
