[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 676759, member: 12508"] Once again, and quite inexplicably, FedEx Express has been listed as one of "America's Top 100 Places To Work". Kudos to the FedEx PR machine for pulling another rabbit out of the hat this year. The corporation is already crowing about it and there are constant reminders about "how lucky" we are to be employed here. Good job Maury!!(VP of FedEx Misinformation). [FONT=Arial Black][SIZE=6][B]BS!!!!!!!![/B][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]If you were actually went around the country and interviewed actual employees instead of reading about how "wonderful" FedEx is, a very different picture of the company would emerge.
