A single quarter's worth of earnings does not make a year . And blind cost cutting driven by sheer desperation does not guarantee and more stable and prosperous company in the future.
No worry, robots are coming.
It feels like this is a money grab for Fred and the higher ups. Lie to stockholders , he knows ground can’t do express , raise the stock and cash in before investors realize it and the stock plummets. No one half way intelligent believes in this merger
They took my wife's job already
This will tie in with Charles Scwhabs 15 minute cities, can't have couriers driving around causing global warming

Notice something about them? They work just fine as long as they are on hard, flat, dry surfaces and only have to carry light loads.
These will never work, once they unleash the humanoids with defense abilities then we be gone.
Not referring to the wheeled version. The humanoid version is making strides to functionality. Otherwise I’d agree with you.
Too many hungry primates around
" Ok robot, here's your job. See that air compressor sitting on the truck? Ok, so it' s says 150lbs but it's actually 190 and yes it says 2 man lift and you are a 1 man lift or should I say 1 bot lift but who's counting? Now you see that shed behind his house? All you have to do is to get it off the truck and pull it up through this muddy yard and put it in the shed. Think you can handle that? You say you can't? Well, the HUMAN you replaced did it. Why can't you? The robots in the movie "I Robot" did that and a whole lot more."
AI says, “leave it in front of the garage just like the human did!”
I’m genuinely interested in where you think this company is going? All the advertisement this new contract did for UPS is going to have their warehouses full of handlers waiting for six figure driving jobs. FedEx has shown their priority is NOT their company drivers. And is still trying to hire $15/hr handlers, who have zero interest in staying here. There’s the UAW strike going on where they’re demanding 40% increase. And they’re going to get it. Personally I think companies the size of FedEx are not going to be able to stay non-union if they don’t start ponying up some competitive money. And by competitive I mean competing against inflation. This company is having a really really really difficult time letting go of the way they’ve always done business in regards to employees. The days of slowly reducing benefits, and dragging out pay progression are coming to an end for places like FedEx. What do you think? Do you think after this merge shakes out, there will be a leaner, more lucrative company standing? Or is it just going to be the Big Lots of shipping after this lol.
