MrFedEx, you have my humblest of apologies. You are right, my head must have been there as I totally forgot that your experiences, your interpretations, your opinions, are Gospel. Anyone who experiences anything different must be hypnotized, spellbound, and drinking the Purple Kool-Aid. What was I thinking? Apparently I wasn't. Who am I to think that I know my own experiences? Who am I to think that verifiable facts are just that, facts, when in reality they are fiction?
If it's ok with you, I'd like to ask you a question? Are you full time or part time? I think you're full time but I just want to emulate you so I'd like to know for sure.
Your lackey,
Quadro.
Dear Lackey,
Thank you for your worship, but it's wholly unnecessary because what I say is never the Gospel, just informed opinion. Why would you be interested in my status as PT or FT?
I question your veracity because you rarely wander far from the official company line. You say that you're a topped-out courier, but you sound more like a manager in your posts. Perhaps you live in some backwater state or city where what FedEx pays is considered to be a "good job". In Memphis or Little Rock, that might be true, but in many cities, the wage that FedEx pays isn't competitive.
To the person, every 20+ year employee I know isn't very happy with the current state of affairs at FedEx.
You seem the exception to the rule, and being OK with the mediocrity that is Express these days is fine with you. I don't think most employees share your opinion, and that there aren't really many happy campers right now at FedEx.
Again, if we all love FedEx so much, why does Fred devote so much time and money into keeping an RLA Express Carrier Exemption that he doesn't need? Save the $25 million spent just this past year and buy some new vehicles or aircraft, right? Wrong, because the truth is that if a vote were held tomorrow, you know what the results would be. Drop the anti-union efforts, and just let what happens happen. That would never occur though, because Fred knows the truth. Let's just have a vote quadro. We all know how you'd vote, but what about the rest?
Fred S wants us to be just like WalMart, and his main concern is keeping us non-union so he can keep wages and benefits low.
Your Master,
MrFedex
