[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1082792, member: 12508"] You can only get so much juice from an orange, but that isn't keeping them from trying to get more. I think you are exactly correct in that the "illusion of growth by taking from the workforce" is in full force at Express. Besides the push for increased production, they continue with the benefit takeaways and hours cuts. It's pretty ridiculous when your company is so cheap that you have to engage in a work slowdown just to get a decent uniform. For awhile, at least, it took the signature of an MD to get approval for someone to order a uniform item. How ridiculous is that? Unfortunately, having everyone wake-up and pay attention this late in the game is probably pointless. It's kind of like a football game where you've let the other team just pound you for 3 quarters, and now the score is 45 to 0 at the start of the 4th quarter. Even if everyone on the team now wants to kick butt and take names, you're still going to lose unless everyone on the other team passes out. It's very clear now that E2 and XS are going over to Ground, and sooner than everyone probably thinks. FedEx has used it's Express employees while they were needed, and now that's no longer the case. If you're pissed-off, they don't really care, nor do they care if you quit and go somewhere else, because they want to replace you with a 28 year-old PT housewife whose only delivery experience is dropping her kids off at school and picking-up groceries. DRA, the software miracle, will [B]transform [/B]her into a delivery powerhouse, and she will be just as good as a career employee making way more than the $14 per hr. Fred wants to pay her. We'll see how that works out. [/QUOTE]
