[QUOTE="59 Dano, post: 5393257, member: 23516"] Quite a few of the posters here have been making one stupid prediction after another -all of them negative- since you joined in 2014, and they were already well versed in that nonsense when I joined in 2009. Express is going to an all PT workforce any day now... since 2010 or so. One guy even claimed to have access to all kinds of internal documents detailing every bit of it (that he never shared, of course). The launch date? September 2012, LOL! Every peak from 2014 onward was going to dwarf peak 2013 in terms of issues. Drones were going to take away all the couriers' jobs. FedEx was accused by the feds of knowingly and willingly working with illegal pharmacies to transport drugs, and all sorts of terrible things were going to happen (result: all charges dropped, company cleared of any wrongdoing). How many times were we on the brink of purchase by Walmart or Amazon? And aren't we due for another round of those? Or maybe Amazon is about to put us out of business by doing third party pickups and deliveries, that's always a popular one. And just over the last couple of weeks - no raises for anyone this year! And these are just the ones I can remember. Does it look good? No, it's just the same old tripe that everyone will make a lot of noise about until it goes away and they find something else to get upset about with equally bad reasoning. Just like NFL team message boards. [/QUOTE]
