They may have huge changes in store. But before the October announcement we had people on here convinced they were going to be laid off in October. They have said how they plan to achieve the extra profit. They are going to much more fuel efficient aircraft that only need 2 crew members instead of 3. They are buying out several thousand people, mostly in Memphis. And they are looking to reduce hours by a total of 3% in each station. Where I'm at they've put a bunch of us on 4X10's, eliminating a large amount of OT. We still have to have people delivering and picking up packages. And part-timers won't work where extended rts require a full-timer. Again, they may have huge changes in store but all we can do is go on what they are actually doing. Getting yourself all worked up over what you can't control will only hurt you. If you honestly believe the sky is falling then you've got a window of time, probably 2 years, to find something else. But don't kid yourself. They aren't going to tell Wall Street a bunch of lies trying to cover up what their "real" plans are. Wall Street meets with them every quarter and certainly monitors their actions because a huge amount of money is involved. If FedEx is lying to them while doing all manner of evil things to the employees it will come out and the stock price will get slammed. Not to say they won't continue to trim our benefits. They may freeze pay. But until it happens we must continue to go on what is happening right now. And right now isn't the end of the world. We'd still like better pay and benefits, but they aren't laying us off, they aren't reducing pay, they aren't making all of us work long splits, and they aren't getting rid of two and three day Express freight. Until they do I'm not worrying about it. And lucky me if they actually start doing all of this I will quit. If you aren't able to quit and find what they are doing is unacceptable, better find something else. Everyone's situation is different.
