[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 824494, member: 12508"] Every location is different, but over here at Express there has been a steady exodus of employees (especially newer ones) since the recession began. FedEx played-up the "no-layoff" angle, but that only applied to hourlies. There were numerous administrative personnel who were let go. As others have pointed-out, they cut very close to the bone anyway, and whenever someone left, they simply expanded the route boundaries (and workload) of the remaining employees. IMO, FedEx also stepped-up enforcement of policy, and a lot of employees started to get written-up for things that would have been under the radar before. It's interesting that one area in which enforcement did not rise was the area of falsification. Management fully recognized that collapsing routes, studying gap times, and increasing workloads would lead to massive falsification on the part of couriers who could only get done by working through breaks and cutting corners on safety by driving faster.
