[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 754591, member: 12508"] If I, or anyone else, post something negative about FedEx, we are virtually guaranteed a "company response" from quadro, the current chief apologist. What FedEx has "done for you" over the last 25 years? How about what they've done [I]to [/I]you. You say you're a 25 year employee, so I'm guessing you remember profit sharing (gone), jumpseat (gone), the traditional retirement plan (gone), regular cost-of-living raises (gone), the opportunity for FT status if you want it (mostly gone), P-S-P, (long gone), good benefits (gone), and on and on. No matter what, you're OK with it, and then jump on here to defend the FedEx rationale for the takeaway. Why?
