[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 519602, member: 12508"] There are plenty of jobs at Fedex, [I]if [/I]you want to live in Memphis.I was speaking of non-JCATS positions in my earlier post, and yes,there are still hourly jobs that are transfers. My comment wasn't "all for show", because you're parroting all of management's talking points. Being an Ops manager is a thankless job, and I've never said otherwise. I'm smart enough to have seen the carnage and thought better of heading into management myself. When I criticize managment on this site, my comments are almost always directed at the talking heads in MEM, who make the policies and procedures that lower level management gets to enforce, even if they don't make any sense. I get along fine with my managers because I'm a "7" employee. They don't have any reason to bother me. But to look at the big picture, FedEx is a very troubled organization, and they have not been doing the hourly employee any favors for a very long time. Even if the union is voted down, Fred has his hands full with some very unhappy workers. If you were still a courier, would you be happy with the direction FedEx has gone over the last 5 years? Even before this recession, Smith has been on a relentless crusade to cut hours and benefits, extend top-out times, and increase productivity. He's gotten the productivity, so where's the payoff for us? There isn't one, unless you count working harder for less a benefit. [/QUOTE]
