[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 992530, member: 12508"] I think they will sell it mainly as a "sign of the times" too. Smith has been crowing about the 10% goal for several years, but the Wall Street announcement really gave it legs and publicity. I'd love to see a buyout that I could take and run with, but it doesn't seem logical given their desire to cut costs and reduce the operating ratio. You and I both know that OT has been the great equalizer at Express for a long time. Motivated couriers could always make up for the lack of raises and pay progression by simply working more hours. That opportunity will largely be gone, and the 45-50k employee will be a 35k employee (as you said). A lot of the Kool-Aid crowd is going to get a huge shock in October when our Beloved Dear Fearless Leader bursts their little hope balloon. As Deckard B26354 said, "you need to be able to see the writing on the wall and act accordingly". He is exactly right, and the letters are 10 feet tall and glowing red. The average employee is in for another screwing, and if you don't like it...too bad. Simple as that. [/QUOTE]
