If you've been around for awhile, here are just a few. Feel free to add more lies you are aware of. Newer people won't understand, but maybe they'll get an idea of how Fred works.
1. Killing the Traditional Pension
2. Profit Sharing. Remember how they said you'd get it in the form of increased compensation? Sure...still waiting.
3. Jumpseat. Can't have smelly hourlies associating with godly pilots.
4. Shift Differentials/Premiums. Name a company that doesn't pay shift premiums.
5. Industry Leading Benefits and Wages. We pay huge premiums for lousy coverage AND get ultra-high deductibles as a bonus. Our wages? Pleeeez...
6. Ground will never take work from Express. Yep...sure.
7. Your PPA is a pension. Uh, no.
8. The RLA. Protecting you from unions, and Fred from having to pay competitive wages.
9. Fuel Surcharge. Yes, we're still screwing customers on this one.
10. Claims. Ever had a customer file a successful claim against FedEx.? Good luck.
11. Service. Call Center agents regularly lie to customers about the reasons why their packages are late or never arrived. "Weather", and "Acts of God" are big favorites. I once had a rep from God knows where tell a customer our area was experiencing "typhoons" when it was clear and 80 degrees outside. I live somewhere where we don't have typhoons or hurricanes. "Typhoon" is a term used largely outside the USA.
Please add more.
