[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 4565528, member: 58386"] The term "Fat Freddy in the majority of the times it was used is a reference to the company rather than the person. You retired express guys still worship Fred S and idolize his company. It's not the same company and in the future will likely look even less like the company you guys bowed to in humble servitude during your years there. As AB831 and others have pointed out, the industry is in a race to the bottom and while in that free fall your beloved Fedex Express will be far less sensitive to and beholding to the many nameless people who go out there everyday and do the dirty work for which it gets paid. And no doubt it's image and prestige which was a big con job to begin with will suffer but in the ongoing race not just for survival but rather for domination nobody's going to worry about that. And just as the entire Fedex Ground model and it's very unattractive purpose and underlying objectives has been taken apart and spread out on the grass for everybody to see, the Express model in it's new and far less glittering form will eventually be laid out there beside it.
