What Will It Take To Get The Truth Out On FedEx?

What's not true?
They can work as Ground drivers. In the buyout FAQ it states that they can work for Ground contractors, but not directly for FedEx opco's if they take the buyout.

I have a few retirees I've run into on various routes, tell me how great FedEx was for them..
I said "I work for a different company than you did sir/mam. The company you worked for doesn't exist anymore."

If you have retired from FedEx, you cannot work for another opco, nor can you be a Ground contractor. The original question from bbsam was basically challenging me to come over and be an ISP, which I could not if I left Express.

Fedex has been corporate America for a very long time. This is, however, not the norm with people I know in various companies. When things got bad they lost more than us. However, they were actually rewarded for sticking around when things started turning around. Like you say Fedex is now a huge corporation. It would do them well to remember it was not always so.
Every young man would do well to remember that all successful business stands on the foundation for morality

yes you could and I explained how. Don't you think they leave certain avenues open for when it serves their own purposes? Imagine what could happen if a number of couriers became disillusioned and left for Ground that is covered by the NLRA. They want to discourage that. A real go getter with contractor potential? Well we have a way to make that happen.

No, I can't. It is explicitly written into your retirement plan that you cannot become a Ground contractor or work for any FedEx opco once you have retired. Not quit...retired.
The sustained growth at Grpind suggests otherwise.

Whatever, Mr. Know-It-All. You'd better start doing deep knee bends because Fred likes his lackeys to be flexible. You'll get yours, from the company that cares so much. Count on it.
I do count on it.
bbsam, I have a feeling mrfedex is right about you guys getting it. Think about it for a sec. If FDX ground ever gets really big(UPS BIG) Fred and his boys in Memphis will be showing you the door just like they are showing the door to the FDX express employees who built FDX.
Somewhere in your ground scam contract there is a loophole for Fred to show you the door in the not too distant future. You will be too expensive and powerful to keep around.
It isn't a loophole. They can choose not to renew contracts. I have never argued that my position is permanent. Quite the opposite. Yeah, I'm. Ok with that. Have been for 18 years.

Are you saying that, much like any other smart businessperson, you have a Plan B?
I think I have been saying that for a few years now, but yes.
