[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 709905, member: 12508"] Vantexan put it very well. There are never any "guarantees", but Fred S did a complete flip-flop on his people, and a lot of us made a decision to stay with FedEx long-term based on his false "promises". And they were promises. Management frequently told us that our wages would stay within a dollar or two of UPS in return for our continued allegiance to FedEx and avoiding a union. We used to have meetings where senior managers would take polls asking if we were "becoming too much like UPS" or "are our wages keeping pace"? That all stopped in the late 80's when Smith decided we were going to become WalMart with wheels. I never would have made a commitment to this company if I had an inkling of the direction they were going to take and how Smith completely reneged on his former philosophies. Now that we're in our 40's or 50's it isn't easy to switch careers. Thanks Fred! You miserable SOB. [/QUOTE]
