And we all know how the body begins to break down after years of this kind of work. So in the most cold, cynical, and machiavellian way, what is the purpose in having a "seasoned veteran"? And if that question angers you, is it because in you know for a fact that you are becoming more and more irrellevant and feel powerless to change it? Kinda like when the automotive industry became mechanized in the 70's and 80's. | Excellent and highly competent employees who provide great service are never irrelevant....just ask UPS. How long do you think FedEx can preserve it's reputation when you have your typical Ground clown doing everything possible to not be excellent.
YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!! Perhaps you and Fred will eventually learn this lesson the hard way. It's kind of like a domestic equivalent of outsourcing customer service to India. You pay nothing, provide no benefits, and then tell the customer that they are going to have an outstanding experience each and every time they use FedEx. Ever had computer problems and talked to "Bobby" or "Cindy" in Mumbai? Even if "Bobby" knows how to build a computer out of matchsticks and AA batteries and has memorized the manual, what good is he if you can't understand him?
This is kind of like the Ground guy who speaks 4 sentences of English well and shows up at your dock at 1730 when you closed at 1600. Oh yeah, he was going to deliver those boxes that should have been there last week when he was there. Oh well...

MrFedEx, you obviously have no where else to turn for a job or you would have long ago left if you are "SO" unhappy here. So you are LUCKY that you haven't been terminated for what seems like a malicious attitude and constant attack towards the company that pays your mortgage, electric bills and helps your kids get their McDonalds every week. You go to work every day, TAKING FedEx's money then coming home and HIDING ONLINE like a coward bad mouthing with what seems like play by play information on every minut detail.
If you really hate the atmosphere so bad, go work some place else!
Can't get hired some place else? Tough! Sounds like you are stuck getting exactly what you are worth. Stop complaining about it and simply excel at your job and work to get promoted, etc.
Nothing comes for free. You won't get anything by being a 9-5'er and thats it. You MUST put in extra effort to be a shining star that people will notice.
So stop complaining because you are LAZY and all you want to do is the bare minimum that the job requires and get paid in gold for it. |

Are you a glutton for your perceived punishment?
Fact is, there are plenty of people happy with their job. If they supposedly get paid so little, then leaving this company and doing something else isn't that big of a leap right?
Is that why there are DROVES of employee's marching away from FedEx?
Get real guy and take your Midol. |

So stop complaining because you are LAZY and all you want to do is the bare minimum that the job requires and get paid in gold for it. | I am a "7" employee at FedEx. Since you don't work there I'll explain what that means. Simply put, it means you can't get a higher score in terms of an employee evaluation (review). I do excel at my job.
Being covert goes with the territory at FedEx, Again, since you are a troll who doesn't work there I'll explain it for you s-l-o-w-l-y. Even though FedEx claims to not be anti-union, openly supporting a union is the kiss of death. Your hours will be cut, you will be targeted and watched by management, or they will try and set you up so you can be terminated. This is illegal, but the law means nothing to FedEx.
So, "Maury" or whatever sort of FedEx synchophant you are, remove your head from your butt and go back to Brownbailout.com and enter some more phony statements of support. Maybe you're FedEx4Life, who trolls this site constantly using multiple usernames trying to spread misinformation.
Each and every time you come here, I or someone else will expose you for the phony you are. It's your time to waste....or is Fred paying you? Isn't it amazing that you and your fellow trolls show up here at the same time the RLA poop hits the fan. Planned...not coincidence. Keep trying, OK?

Get real guy and take your Midol. | I agree that MrFedEx comes off as very angry, but most of his statements are true. I think I'd be as pissed as him if I dedicated my life to a career and saw things going down the tube.
I like FedEx, I'm happy with my job, but, its not my career.
I hate to admit it, but if MrFedEx did speak up about all the wrongs he's seen in person - he'd probably get fired. Using the word "union" at FedEx is a fireable offense. |

They act like they are totally open to discussions about such matters without repercussion but I can say from my experience that is totally untrue. FedEx deserves to lose this anti-union campaign because they are running a deceptive and downright false campaign which is insulting to their employees. |

I could have made a better site using Frontpage or a mac with iLife. The web developer is laughing all the way to the bank on this one. |

I don't know why FedEX paying you to watch a video would be illegal. They can pay you to watch reruns of Mr. Ed, it doesn't matter. |
