UPS should hold a food drive for FedEx employees and FedEx non employees (Ground drivers) ;-)
slight correction: they are living off the old Federal Express image. In retrospect, the brand change seems to have marked the early beginning of the long steady decline which has brought us to the steaming pile of an outfit we find ourselves in today. Just saying the word 'FedEx' fills my throat with bile.They are living off the old fedex image.
The sad part about this is that it would never work at Express. There are senior employees around here making a grand a week after overtime that don't seem to mind that their fellow co-workers are struggling to make 400 a week doing the same work. I would venture to say that FedEx is worse than Walmart. At least with Walmart you know what you're getting when you sign up . I doubt anyone starts working there with the assumption that they're going to make great money. FedEx has tricked the public into thinking we all drive around in nice cars and live in big houses. Couldn't be further from the truth.
My response is always... "It's very likely that you make more than me" followed by me staring down at my feet wondering where I went wrong in life.
It's done on purpose in my opinion. They've got two pay scales going. Winners and losers. The losers are people that started after 2003. I may be wrong on the date but That's when they pay-scale changed to what it is today I believe.
