[QUOTE="FedEx2000, post: 520451, member: 13621"] It wasn't just management that took the 5% cut, it was pretty much all salaried positions below MD/Exec level. I don't believe that I said I wasn't a manager, I just asked why you assumed I was one based on an earlier post. If so, I apologize for the confusion. There is absolutely no such thing as the "watch list" you refer to. If there is, it is specific to your location and done w/o FedEx approval. I worked at 5 different stations over the years and have never heard of or seen such a list. My guess is that it's either a nasty rumor, or a ridiculous scare tactic by a crappy management team. The couriers I refer to are some of my best friends that I worked with, not employees that report to me. They have absolutely no reason to lie about or deny anything to me. Maybe I have just been lucky to have worked in good stations, but I have yet to meet a single courier (when I was a courier) that wanted the union. Not to say there weren't some at the station that did, but out of approx. 500-600 couriers I never met any that did. Time will tell if the employees want the union, but I just don't think it will benefit the company/customers as a whole. They can promise you the world, but if FedEx doesn't agree to their terms it does no good. There will always be someone else willing to do the job, especially in this economy. I can't imagine a place where an employee and a manager have to have a babysitter at every meeting. Sometimes, with certain people, it is needed. I guess I would just like to think that two adults working for the same company could work things out rationally rather than trying to get the other person fired. In a perfect world, right? [/QUOTE]
