Nooooo, Trump is the presumptive winner just like Hillary was in 2016. So the money is flowing his way. Not to mention he's been good for business and they want to keep that going.News flash . This 2020. Another Hillary Whataboutism.

Aided by a tax cut where 83% of the tax benefits went to 1% of the population, the largest deficits in history and far more of the tax savings going to stock buybacks than increased R&D.Nooooo, Trump is the presumptive winner just like Hillary was in 2016.

Like I said, he's been good for business. And millions of jobs were created.Aided by a tax cut where 83% of the tax benefits went to 1% of the population, the largest deficits in history and far more of the tax savings going to stock buybacks than increased R&D.
The government doesn’t create jobs, pinko.Like I said, he's been good for business. And millions of jobs were created.
Did I say they did?The government doesn’t create jobs, pinko.
What does what you say matter?Did I say they did?
Well when you see upper management and CEO’s all across the country effing things up then moving on while collecting a huge severance check, I say what’s wrong with hourlies doing the same?
If you can't do the job, why shouldn't they?
As though couriers were these super efficient brainiacs in the past.
What the hell, some people look at Lamar Jackson's stats from Saturday's loss and think they prove he's a good QB.
You completely sidestep the fact that there’s an epidemic of CEO’s exercising bad judgement, bad performance and even criminal activity and being rewarded for it. Yet you go crying that if a courier has not so stellar performance they should be outside looking in. It’s people like you that cheerlead bad CEO behavior and performance. Those are the types of people that put millions of jobs at risk but yet some lowly courier should have a few lates then it’s time for a court Marshall. You’re also a perfect example of why FedEx has long ceased being “a people company.”You see something that's bad and you don't like it and your immediate reaction is to use it as justification for your own failure. That's why you're the head nut in the peanut gallery. Right up there with "Why come I have to make service? Plane landed 2 minutes late. NOT FAIR."
There is little comparison between the average courier today and the the average courier of the past.
1. Today's couriers can't read a map and have little sense of urgency or time commitments.
2. They are generally not self-directed and capable of independent thought.
3. SPH and customer service are nowhere near where they used to be.
4. Today's courier generally has zero intention of making it a career, and turnover is astoundingly high. Why would you stay? No retirement, glacial pay progression etc.
5. In the past, most couriers refused to be managers because they'd take a pay cut, and most were smarter than their managers. In your case, it wouldn't be a very high bar.

If you're going to accuse me of saying something, at least let me say it.What does what you say matter?
I wouldn't say Freight wasn't interested. I would say FedEx's union busting campaign beat the crap out of the Teamsters organizing campaign.I think the OP article shows that legislation is not the barrier to unions at FedEx. The workers aren’t interested. The teamsters tried for years with FedEx Freight and came up empty. With a CDL driver shortage it’s fairly easy for those workers to demand better wages and conditions on their own. Face it, what we do is easy to train anyone to do. There’s no reason for FedEx to deal with a union when the labor is easily replaceable.
For someone like you who considers himself so incredibly smart, you figure it out.WTF do CEOs of other companies have to do with courier performance?
Sounds like you haven't been taking your Ritalin lately.Hey, let's pay people to do a job! And if they can't do it well, let's keep paying them to do it anyway! And when we have to scale back benefits and raises in part because we're the go-to place for people who can do as they damn well please and get paid forever to do it, we can listen to Cactus piss and moan about it!
You think it's a right wing wet dream to expect employees to be able to properly do the job that they are hired and paid to do? Seriously? What kind of p*ssified upbringing did you have?
If the job requires a clearly stated standard of speed you can fire them. You aren’t firing them for being old, you are firing them for failing to meet the standards of the job. This isn’t difficult.Your changing the subject. Obviously if someone CANT do the job they are going to be terminated.
but if you have a 50 year old 20 year employee who does the job slower than a 22 year old 1 year employee. You cannot fire them.
but in your world, someone who does the job slower equates to not being able to do the job?
Well aren’t you just an adorable little company man.

Express "standard of speed" is a variable, subject to the whims of management. It is based on the premise that if a number has ever been achieved, regardless of circumstances, it is attainable under all circumstances.If the job requires a clearly stated standard of speed you can fire them.

Not to mention, the veteran courier has learned to follow all the methods to the letter, which management hates. New couriers ignore methods and figure as long as it gets done, what does it matter how.We've got 50-something veterans who can get the job done way quicker/better than a lot of the new young couriers. The veterans have 5 stops made before the new guy has all the addresses put into his phone some mornings.
Running fast and speeding doesn't necessarily equate to being faster. Many veteran couriers can walk to every stop on their entire route and do it in less time than a new courier who runs, simply because they spend too much time spazzing about how many stops they have or whatever.
