Anyone know whats going on? Someone told me that the Managers were told during their meetings yesterday whats about to go down. This was District wide..
Both of our Managers and the Engineer were here bright and early this am. They had little to say and weren't on the sort at all.
The word on the changes are starting to filter down to Ops level managers. Many throughout the nation last week had a meeting regarding the impending changes. They were all told to keep their mouths shut.
It does appear that Express Saver will end come December 31 of this year. I can't get independent confirmation of this, but I believe the source has more behind it other than just informed speculation. But I'm not ready to come right out and state that this date is set in stone.
It appears that Ground did pick up a few large accounts (there was talk about this back in March-April here), and they are anticipating a large spike this peak from these shippers and consumer shippers. FedEx wants to keep the Express Saver service going through peak, to help take some of the pressure off of Ground. Once peak is finished, Ground will have the capability to easily take the additional 10-15% bump in volume that would result in Express ending 3rd day service.
I'm trying to get confirmation from a source that is familiar with the truck routes out of Memphis (that carry 3rd day service out of Memphis to areas within about 750 miles) to verify if impending changes have/will be made in the scheduling of these routes (presumably come January 2013).
There WILL be an announcement made to the Express hourlies in October. It will be thin on real details and impact on operational pattern, but an announcement will be made.
DRA is still being brought up to speed, and won't have full operational capability till next summer - then in only about half of stations. The other half will be rapidly brought on line through the end of 2013.
The clock is ticking on your career... You'd better start doing something rather than complaining and bitching about it.
It's close enough to October where they are going to have to tell the ops managers something. My senior is MIA this week, but the ops managers are on-the-job. Whatever the case, it is absolutely obvious that everything we've been talking about here regarding ops for the last year is either already happening, about to happen, or on the way. What does that tell all of you about the future of Express? The answer is that there is no future, unless you're happy with around 30-35 hours per week, a huge pay cut any way you slice it.
And how would you know?You dont even work for FedEx.Your track record speaks for itself.Stop making up stuff please.Thanks.The word on the changes are starting to filter down to Ops level managers.

What about his track record is there to question? I think he's been fairly accurate.And how would you know?You dont even work for FedEx.Your track record speaks for itself.Stop making up stuff please.Thanks.
Did Ground merge with Express No? Did FedEx unionize no.Did they lay everyone off? No.Did Ground take XS and E2? No.Did MRFedex retire from Fedex?No.
These are just a few things Mr Rich and MFE preached for years and never came true.My point is that Richotta works at Walmart now and not for FedEx so why would any of us believe his "INSIDE SOURCES"? Just do a search of his posts.Trying to organize us.The Teamsters were coming.It was imminent.blah blah blah.Fool me once....
I don't know his info seems good and he does not seem to have an ulterior motive. My opinion is that he genuinely cares about his former Fedex compatriots.Did Ground merge with Express No?

I don't see it that way, I still read the news from my former city and I don't live there,should I not do that anymore ? As far as hurting Fedex I don't think they need any help doing it to themselves. I have never seen morale this low in the company. I like the guy and I have never met him from Adam,he is informative and his record speaks for itself.Maybe so, but my question is why? He doesn't know any of you from Adam, yes he spends all this time and and what seems like hundreds of posts to do what? To me it looks like the only thing he cares about is hurting FedEx.
