We had a director come to our station telling the couriers that they should go and become contractors at Ground. Go and be the man instead of working for the man is how he put it. Told us we had at least 24 to 36 months left here.

That doesn't make sense to me why anyone would say that.

We just got our hiring freeze lifted , wonder what that means

They need contractors in the worst way many suckers needed , many trucks for sale shows many contractors have left. The old become your own boss routine will be pushed. Time span will probably be sooner than later, they have been dragging this out for 2 years now.

Wonder why your director is working for the man when he could go out and buy some routes and start printing money.

I don’t think he said that , why would he ? That’s not manager buzz words.

They love math * who’s ego causes them to sink a lot of money into a project they wouldn’t touch with a 100 foot pole.

From my experience management has absolutely no idea what it takes to run a small business. They’ve come up through the ranks managing budgets so the dumb ones think that’s the same thing. They wildly underestimate the risk involved with actually owning your own business.

I don't get it. FedEx is screwed. UPS is screwed. Which company is winning?

Neither, I believe they are secretly cooking up a plan to end all plans

I mean if you can find a way to cut out the courier you would make a lot more money.

Funny that those Express employees at consolidated stations aren't flooding this board, FB, or any other forums with horror stories of absolute failure.

How many people who said for years that combining Express and Ground was the smart move are also the ones saying it can't possibly work?

You have to go to Reddit to read about FedEx. Most don't come to this site. I think it is that way because this site is mainly UPS first.

Absolutely merge , but make everyone employees so the company can be successful and give workers living wages and benefits

No , just trucks bulked out pictures complaining they aren’t paid enough and people rejoicing their last day after they quit.
People are definitely starting to wake up to the contractors model and being treated unfairly
