[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 823779, member: 24302"] You are reading that wrong. What the article was saying was alot less people in Europe and Japan were laid off in the crisis. Rather than expect their workforce to bear the brunt of the financial pain they instead carried their people, giving them "make work" rather than letting them go. Alot less profit, productivity way down, but they are loyal to their people. In America however alot of people were laid off and it looks like many of those jobs aren't coming back. Companies discovered that by tweaking things they could get more productivity out of less people. Which translates into more profit. Whether it's shipping jobs overseas or working people more for less money, American companies put making money first. If they were willing to reward all the hard work with better pay that would be great. But these days most companies, not just FedEx, are pushing people to accept less and less while CEO compensation and dividends for stockholders are emphasized. [/QUOTE]
