[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 478564, member: 12508"] Fred had no foresight at all, which is clearly evident from his interview this past summer in which he said there was "no recession". As I recall, President Bush was saying the same thing at the same time, even though we had already been in a recession for over a year at that point. I don't object to FedEx responding to poor economic conditions. That's just part of doing business. What I [I]do[/I] object to is Smith's methods to get rid of people, which are sneaky and underhanded. While we aren't laying anyone off yet, please be assured that as many employees as possible are being shuffled out the door via enhanced discipline and deceptive policies. The fact that FedEx doesn't lay-off is more a result of the way they shortchange their people financially than any desire to protect jobs. The low wage and benefit structure of FedEx compared to UPS gives management much more leeway in controlling costs, especially labor. [/QUOTE]
