[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1134127, member: 24302"] They've been taking things away from us since the mid-90's, and in the 80's and 90's the quality of life at FedEx depended very much on your mgr and most were jerks. Plus back then we were the ones driving big stepvans full of freight plus everything else we had to know. There was never some utopian workplace, it was always difficult with pressure put on us to perform. Pay was always suppressed with topped out couriers not getting raises for 4.5 years. FedEx in the 80's paid well for the times, but I don't recall us ever making what UPS did. It was just the window dressing the company put on everything, emphasizing how much they cared and if we stuck with them we'd have a solid future. Didn't turn out that way, but it didn't go bad all of a sudden, it was the proverbial slow boil of the frog in the pan. In all honesty you have it better than I ever did, but back when medical was completely paid by the company, when I had a traditional pension, and made enough that I could take road trips on vacation or jumpseat on company planes I thought there was certainly worse things I could be doing for a living, and that all the running was worth it.
