I assure you, I am being 100% serious about a charismatic leader heading a walkout as being THE ONLY way to make sweeping changes since the RLA is not going anywhere. Mass firings? Yeah, but seems many are ready to walk individually anyway, might as well make a difference and walk collectively.
You can make all the excuses you want and quite frankly I wouldn't expect otherwise from upper management and Fred himself. This company has never taken responsibility for its failures, never. Only puts the blame on its frontline workers and now the customers who he now holds contempt for. Bottom line is no matter what he thinks privately, he should never put that out to the public. Remember, the customer is always right.
I think everyone can see how desperate Fred S is to now pass the blame on the customer. Good way to lose business.
I really wonder what would happen if all the Mitt Romney's of the world decided to just say "eff it" because they are tired of dealing with people who blame them for everything? Just take their money and sit on it. No innovation, no investment, no establishing and growing businesses in hopes of making a profit. While we're at it all the current business owners doing the same. Telling the rest of us they've had enough, we're on our own. Yes, there are exploitive SOB's out there, but where would be if everyone with the backbone and drive to start a business said screw it, it's not worth the hassle? To read this forum you'd think Mitt Romney was the worst politician ever, only seeking to line his own pockets. Yes, that same Mitt Romney who was elected governor of one of the liberal blue states and had a track record of cooperation with the opposition to get things done. The same Mitt Romney who's father was a popular Michigan governor who marched with Martin Luther King. The same Mitt Romney who was probably more qualified to run an economy than any other candidate in this country's history. Hey, hate what's going on at FedEx and many other corporations these days. But don't put it all on every business owner as if being the owner is evil and being an employee, never taking risks to get ahead, is somehow much more righteous. At the end of the day it's just about people full of envy, wanting what the wealthy have but not willing to make the effort, take the risks to have it.
why is it so dumb? It's a crap job anyway, right?
They could never do that because they'll always want more money, and it will grow a lot faster if it is not sitting collecting interest but being invested in a more dynamic fashion.
The problem is that there are millions of small business owners who aren't in the 1% but reading here one might think all are evil while all employees are good. Some here seem to want a system where all outcomes are equal. It's been tried, doesn't work.
Not equal, just fair. I think that is possible. But listening to a lot of people on the right you would think that's evil for even wanting such a system.
