[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 1005672, member: 22880"] Operations managers know NOTHING so far out of Memphis. They may have picked up on info through word of mouth (or if they know enough people in Memphis). Many are actually getting pissed off that they've been kept in the dark and not told anything (they DO know something is happening, they just haven't been privy to being in attendance in a sanctioned meeting and given the "scoop"). They are starting to figure out that they aren't really "FedEx-ers" like they though they were - they are merely being used as enforcers by Memphis at this point in the game. [I]Not what most signed up to do when they became managers...[/I] [I]And in reference to an earlier post - the ops managers (some of them) are some of Memphis' worst enemies, since they were dumped on back in 2008 with the salary cuts along with the pension being pulled.
