[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 779754, member: 12508"] I've been to my share of FedEx funerals too, and lots of employees do show-up. That's because they're decent and caring people....it has nothing to do with FedEx. Managers show-up a lot of times because they are expected to. I've been to several where I know that the deceased would not have wanted their manager at the service because they couldn't stand them. You're never going to see "Undercover Boss" feature FedEx because there would be too much exposed that would make the company look bad. If I wanted FedEx to look really bad, all I'd have to do is bring a hidden camera into my local ramp when I do FO or a shuttle sometimes. Another way would be to show the "pee bottles" some couriers have to use on certain routes. You are quite good at rationalizing what FedEx does..and doesn't do. United Way is the perfect example of how two-faced FedEx is. Over at Ground, there are plenty of FedEx non-employees who qualify for food stamps and other services because their wages are so low. That's a direct result of the way FedEx chooses to conduct business. Yet, the company crows about how it gives X amount to United Way every year. That's called hypocrisy in action. Also, the fact that I choose to stand-up against FedEx doesn't define me as a "miserable person". Unlike you, I have a great deal of concern and compassion for those employees less senior than me who are getting screwed every day. Like you, I'm topped-out, have over 25 years, and don't have a lot to worry about financially. Every day, I see employees who bust their ass for FedEx being paid $16-$17 per hour with no real retirement plan. They're 35 or 40 years old now...what are they going to do when they "retire" from FedEx? And how much can you save on $16 per hour...not much. In other words, you're doing fine, and you could care less about the rest of those who happened to hire-in 15 years later than you did. I'd say that's a pretty "miserable" attitude. [/QUOTE]
