[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1102559, member: 24302"] It's not Kool-ade, it's reality. On the one hand you've got management lying to people to get them to stay at the job, the bigger sucker theory. Once someone has been around long enough to figure out they're getting screwed and quit, a bigger sucker comes along to take their place. On the other hand you've got employees who have unrealistic expectations, comparing apples and oranges. As long as UPS trucks most of it's freight instead of flying it, they'll be able to have lower costs per pkg and be able to pay their employees better. That's exactly why FedEx has been developing Ground. Biggest difference between management of both companies is UPS management has to settle for less profit because of the union. FedEx has gone to great lengths to keep a union out because they want that profit for themselves in the form of dividends and higher stock prices. Don't kid yourself, if UPS management could get rid of the union tomorrow and slash pay and benefits they would. Stop treating everyone who disagrees with you about anything like the enemy and realize you need to get the best deal for yourself, whether at FedEx or elsewhere, because most companies see you as a commodity to be used for their benefit. Your usefulness dictates your pay, not right or wrong. [/QUOTE]
