[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1065678, member: 12508"] The FedEx Express deadline is 90 days, not exactly charitable or people-friendly. Most companies I know of offer double that, [I]and[/I] include some kind of temporary duty. Fred can easily afford to have someone off for 6 months because he has profited enormously from an Express business model that exploits employees. Despite a flat Express market, Express is still quite profitable. Fred is especially able to wait-out a sick and/or injured employee due to all of the other perks he has bought himself...a non-union workforce, elimination of the pension etc. Imagine working for a company for 15 years, and then getting cancer. Your cancer had better be in-control to the point that you can get back in 90 days, or guess what...no position, and a very real prospect that none will be available to you when you eventually do return. There's some real loyalty for you there. FedEx presents itself as a company that is different in that it has the PSP philosophy guiding it's actions. Anyone who has worked here for more than a few months knows this is a complete joke, but that doesn't stop them from beating us over the head with how wonderful they are to employees. [/QUOTE]
