[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 611290, member: 12508"] Maybe you are a "spy"....I don't know. Here's what I do know. Over the years FedEx execs have perpetuated the myth that FedEx is a "different" company, and that they [I]do [/I]care. Unfortunately, a lot of idiot employees have bought into this and honestly believe that FedEx has their best interests at heart. Top management is invested in keeping the myth alive so they can keep the union out and depress wages and benefits. Including hourlies (and lower management) in festivities like the 777F roll-out are neither token nor meaningless. This was another opportunity to show that employees other than the top dogs were important, and they chose to squander it and make it a party for themselves instead. UPS execs at least make an attempt at appearing that they have some level of understanding of life in the field. They don't have private jets, and the whole company forbids meals or coffee at desks in deference to the drivers in the field. Perhaps it's just symbolic, but it's a lot more than we get at Fedex. Progessive organizations understand that frontline employees actually [I]are [/I]important members of the "team" and have valuable input, ideas, and strategies that can help a company move forward and increase market share. FedEx no longer understands this concept and depends on engineers and middle managers in MEM who have no idea what a courier really does or how field ops really function. You appear to agree with this concept wholeheartedly. Go ahead, be a brick...Fred likes ignorant employees. [/QUOTE]
