I have worked for FedEx Express for more than four years, lurking around this site nodding or shaking my head with all of the posts I have seen over the years. This may end up being both my first and last post here, you never know.
As of tonight, I finally get to put in my two weeks' notice with the company. My youngest gets to start school and I will no longer be pursuing extra work to cover just the huge daycare costs.
I have gotten after management that the raises have gotten so bad that I now make more in one day at my day job than with Fed Ex all week.
Seeing just how much has collapsed only within the time I have worked for FedEx is amazing. People are wondering how our group could become as bad as it is and one only need to step back and look. No raises + no individual worthwhile evaluations + only pick A, B, C or D to say what you think of this company in a yearly assessment can get you there fast. People way out in Memphis set up who works for us here, leaving no control for management. And this is coming from a material handler who just works part-time. I can only wish that those still with them can also weather this storm.
In the end, I hope this becomes my second favorite night working for FedEx as the best will be in two weeks.
