"In addition, FedEx employees who receive lots of recommendations from customers through this event,' will receive various prizes."

(Read cheap pens and water bottles.)

I think the FedEx cheap gifts philosophy is significant because it shows the low regard in which we are held by the company. Who gets motivated by cheap pens, water bottles, lunchboxes and the like? Children. And apparently that's how they view us...as non-adults. Everyone I know who gets this crap gives it to their kids anyway because they are ashamed to be seen with it.

Recently, a fellow courier did something pretty significant, and he got a FedEx cinch sack, a cheap nylon baggie worth maybe a couple of bucks. The senior made this huge speeech about the Purple Promise and how great FedEx was and what a great worker Courier X had been for so many years....and then he hands him the effing sack.

The look on Courier X's face was unmistakably a combination of embarassment and disgust. A few people even laughed.

What a sad company.

I agree. The cheap, crappy children's birthday party door prizes they give out with the beamin grins on their faces are nothing more than thinly-veiled insults. It's degrading and they know it is. It's all just a part of the little game now.

I make sure I'm no longer the recipient of such humiliating garbage by ensuring I do only the barest minimum I possibly can get away with now. A far far cry from the way I used to be.

I'm ashamed to give it to my kids.

If it had been me I'd have put the bag over my head.

At least the safety awards are still made of cheap gold. In the very least they're pawnable. My buddy got 45 bones for it.
