[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1070289, member: 24302"] What percentage of UPS employees are dedicated overnight air delivery drivers? That's the concern, that FedEx will eventually be primarily a Ground company like UPS, with a much smaller overnight Express division. It may be inevitable, but it's how they've gone about it that makes many angry. They string us along while telling us how much they care, with every indicator telling us they are just using us until they get to the position they want to be in. That may be the way things are in the work world, but when it happens to you it doesn't make you feel better knowing this kind of thing goes on elsewhere. Especially irritating when you work for a company that goes to great lengths to represent themselves as a "people" company that cares. It's all an elaborate PR spiderweb designed to draw in newhires who think they are getting into a great situation but in effect are throwing away their future but don't know it yet. Higher profits at many companies means employees get better pay and other perks. At FedEx it means much more money for corporate officers and big institution Wall Street investors. And constant effort to eke out more profit by taking from the employees. After almost two decades of takeaways we are literally at the can't-get-blood-out-of-a-turnip point, and yet they keep trying. It seems they'd have us all living in slums and taking public transportation if the money they save in payroll will make them that much wealthier. If they are Christians they should remember what Jesus said about the rich. In those times cities were surrounded by walls.

Next to the gates was a small door that allowed people to pass through, known as the Eye of the Needle. Jesus said it would be easier for a camel to pass through the Eye of the Needle than for a rich man to enter into heaven.
