[QUOTE="Uncle Rico, post: 124226, member: 4974"] Hate is such a strong word, although it is used by me in my public profile regarding both UPS and Fedex since I have had the pleasure of working 10 years at both companies. In the context of adding a blurb to my profile, I thought it would be funny. But since we live in a world where no one can take a joke anymore, and misinterpratation of one's semantics can ruin one's career, reputaion and life these days, I'll go fix that phrase so that I don't give yacks such as yourself something to feel so high and mighty about. Im my humble and experienced opinion, the comparisons between UPS and Fedex can and will go on to infinity. Stock prices show the instant snapshot of today, but the histories of both companies lead me to believe UPS is more fiscally stable than the upstart Fedex. Today's stock price doesn't mean much to me. I have been saying for at least a year that when Fedex has to assume the labor costs, the health costs, the vehicular costs of all of its independant contractors, when they are formally welcomed to the FDX family as "employees", that stock will plummet. You wanna get into a p-ssing match over who is better in any possible category between Fedex and UPS go find someone else. I loved my time at UPS, it gave me the discipline and direction when I was 20 years old. I had a career path there but chose to take a fork in the road. Realizing I had experience in this business, and the propaganda Fedex spewed forth about being a great place to work, led me there--where the grass was going to be greener. HA. The most miserable 10 years of my life but I had the responsibility of new babies to provide for so I sucked it up and went to work. What I "hate" is myself for wasting ten years at Fedex. But you gotta put food on the table. I "hate" the fact that I kept telling myself there is no time to get a different job. So package handler guy, hoser, call me names, spew forth your "knowledge" people and the real world. If you don't learn something new everyday, you become stagnent in you life and thinking. So today's lesson to you is use your ears to listen to what people are saying and not just to get a cutesy snippet to use in your condescending replies. [/QUOTE]
