[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 1015141, member: 22880"] Here is the fundamental "miss" of those who look at things from an "Express" persepective, instead of a FedEx perspective - and I've constantly stated, the brand is no longer Federal Express, or Express - the brand that is being sold is FedEx now and will continue to be in the future (if you don't believe me, look at the website for FedEx, everything is integrated - the customers see only "FedEx"). Volumes for [U]FedEx[/U] are [U]increasing[/U]. Volumes for Express are [U]falling[/U], but are more than being made up by Ground. Absolute margin for a piece moved through Ground is higher than if the same piece were to move through Express. This is why FedEx is shifting customers away from Express and to Ground if they decide they don't need rapid service. This is also why the wage employees of Express are being pushed under the bus - they cost FedEx more than the step-children of FedEx cost (Ground contractors). This is why Express is starting its downsizing (rightsizing) and Ground is growing by leaps and bounds. This is why Ground is pulling Express employees over to it, and even offering to let the former Express employees keep their seniority (original hire date with Express) when they become "Ground-ed". And what are the Couriers that post here doing about it? Bitching and moaning about the slow but undeniable demise of their careers. Why don't you all do something that may, just may have an impact on saving your job - start signing those damn cards? All that is going on, is the dog is going round and round in circles, chasing its tail - with nothing ever being accomplished. Meanwhile, Fred sends his shills and stooges to kick sand in your face trying to get you to quit out of sheer frustration. Don't play Fred's game (debating his shills and stooges) - play the game he fears most - the game of signing as many representation cards as possible. That will get HIM running in a circle, chasing his tail, instead of laughing his butt off while you run in a circle never getting anywhere. [/QUOTE]
