[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 1024984, member: 22880"] Blind subservience... This is what the Couriers of Express are battling. F4L wasn't a paid shill, of that I'm confident. The key trait of shills is subtleness. F4L was about as subtle as a wrecking ball in motion. Express has many that think like he, possessing blind subservience towards their employer, even to the point of being willing to engage in telling lies to defend their employer from "detractors". I experienced this first hand when I was getting ready to leave Express, in having station management cook up outright lies in order to slap OLCCs against me. It didn't bother their conscience a bit - since they had the mind set of "ends justifying the means". He did put a picture up of presumably himself (since removed as part of his banning, presumably). It was of a rather plump, pasty white guy in his late 40's. Now... being a white guy myself, I knew when I was a Courier, I had a rather decent tan on my face, neck and arms - all from being out and about as part of the job. Even in mid-winter, I still had a good amount of color in my face. The guy in the photo F4L posted hasn't seen 30 minutes of sunlight in over 10 years. It was a photo of an office worker, who spent an inordinate amount of time stitting on his posterior, not doing anything remotely resembling physical activity - forget about being someone claiming to be a 20+ year Courier. Too bad the picture is gone, it literally speaks a thousand words towards his credibility regarding his being a career Courier. I'm fairly confident that F4L was the same individual that posted under F4L in the past and was banned. In his previous incarnation, he used FedEx 4 Life - this time around he used FEDEX 4 LIFE. The forum software must differentiate between caps and lower case letters in allowing user IDs - thus enabling the simple alteration in text and getting through. I believe that FEDEX 4 LIFE opened up an ID sometime after FedEx 4 Life was banned. Make your own conclusions... It does point out what you folks are up against. There are MANY salaried types who will go to any lengths possible to defend their employer from detractors. They see themselves as the true "FedEx-ers" and all you hourlies as merely associates who do the physical labor needed. If there is any silver lining to all of this, it is that it will hopefully illustrate to those who may be "on the fence" regarding the need to organize, to finally recognize that there are MANY people in FedEx who DON'T want you to make what you are really worth. These people FEAR that their own careers may be placed in jeopardy if YOU are compensated fairly in doing your job. The salaried employees who are confident in their abilities don't fear the hourlies getting what they are worth - it is the dead weight (Memphoids), that fear you the most. Express is going to get rid of close to 3000 Memphoids.... You can cross your fingers... [/QUOTE]
