Bbsam you are absolutely correct about no guarantees anywhere. The thing is though that A. two things don't make a right, B. that these other companies mentioned where not really profitable, and C. I think that we both can agree on the fact that FedEx is not going out of business.Clueless? Maybe so. People at Lehman Brothers thought they had a future. Same at Enron. Lots of UAW people out of work after 20 years service. Lots of truck drivers out of work. Perhaps a future isn't guaranteed anywhere. Clueless? Maybe not.
The way FedEx runs there business can be viewed as brilliant on one hand but irresponsible on the other hand. Employees are not merely a tool and any company that has viewed them as such has eventually suffered the consequences. You yourself have mentioned that you pay your employees as well as you can and you have incentives to stimulate more production and safer drivers, so you obviously see my point. FedEx will suffer in the long term until they realize this, and now is it really fare to you and your employees that this will in no doubt negatively effect you guys.
Life is not fare but FedEx has plenty of history to examine to see how to properly treat their employees.
