[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 980735, member: 22880"] The overwhelming majority of FedEx wage employees don't have the acumen to see things from "a strictly business standpoint". This isn't their fault, they're employees and not educated in the methods of business operations. They punch a clock, do their job and believe the BS that they get from their managers and monthly videos they are forced to watch. When the hammer is dropped on them, the reaction that "franknitty" described (still in shock) is common place. When the pension plan was gutted in Express, I still remember the "shock" among all the "loyal" employees of Express (the ones who bled purple up until that time). They couldn't believe that the company that had "People, Service, Profit" and "FedEx Cares" would devastate their pension. Many just subsequently accepted the fact and carried on, others got real pissed off and either made plans to get out or to start trying to fight back (or both). What you and I take for granted (the writing on the wall), simply isn't within the ability of most Express (or Office)employees to fully digest. You've seen the disbelief of many Express employees on this forum over the years - they simply couldn't or WOULDN'T believe that their employer was planning on dumping on them while feeding them all the BS at work telling them to "remain calm" and "all is well". Well now, FedEx has made the decision to pull the trigger on their plan. They are doing it slowly, but it is obvious beyond any doubt that the decision has been made - a decision to execute a business plan which I and a couple of others here have been detailing as much as possible over the past 2.5 years. You're going to be reading a lot of "shock" in this forum over the coming months. [/QUOTE]
