[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 1124190, member: 22880"] They knew back in late February when the decision to nix the pay raises was made, that the April SFA would be in the toilet. What they are gauging is just how much the scores have dropped (compared to what they expected) and whether they need to plan on throwing out some actual cash in October, or if they can get away with hamburgers and weenies this summer and just hand out a percentage point in October (if that). And in regards to the question about Express employees being dumb.... I'll let that one go unanswered. Memphis obviously has their answer to that question, based on their belief on the potential success of delivery appointments (Couriers won't mind in the least working into the evening and having their entire day shot - won't mind at all....) I got the rundown of the program (del appoints) over the phone, but there is no way for me to see the video. Just how was the video presented (from a psychological perspective). Was the narration taking a 'demanding' tone (you WILL do this)? Was it 'inspiring' (you CAN do this, it will make your life better)? Or did it take another tack? One poster mentioned the music in another thread - what was the tone and tempo of the music, along with the 'type' of music? In mass communication, the method of presenting a 'message' tells more about the intent of the 'sender' of the message (Memphis in this case), than the actual content. One can wrap up a crap sandwich in a fancy foil wrapper with expensive bread, condiments, fresh lettuce and other garnishments - making it look appealing at first glance, but it is still a crap sandwich if one actually bites into it.
