[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 917042, member: 12508"] FedEx presents itself as an exception to the rule among corporations, so their laundry is just a bit dirtier than most. Given the fact that FedEx has a generally excellent reputation with the general public, it probably would come-off as petty criticizing them openly in the media. What really peeves me about FedEx is the degree to which the company exploits employees while simultaneously pretending that they are the world's best employer. In the last 10 years, we've had so much stripped away, but are expected to work much harder for less. Yes, that's "everywhere", but Fred S has spent hundreds of millions of dollars on polticians to absolutely, positively, ensure that he gets preferential treatment, and that investment has been a Golden Goose for him. He's a corporate criminal, plain and simple. FedEx Ground is essentially a government-subsidized corporation, because Smith gets to pay poverty level wages and have his employees at least partially supported by the taxpayer. That's unethical at best, and just plain criminal, at worst. If there ever was a living example of a Mr. Potter from "It's a Wonderful Life", it's Frederick W. Smith. He's evil, rotten to the core, and obsessed with profit. His people are only a source of profit...nothing else. Like I've said, you really do have to work here to understand just how insane and duplicitous the whole organization is. Up is down, out is in, and left is right. Logic makes no sense at FedEx. It's that weird. [/QUOTE]
