That's understandable. No one wants to be lumped in with the evil that is upper mgmt. btw, I wouldn't sweat the "memphoid" thing too much. I have heard a whole lot worse over the years.
That's good to know. But reading through some of the posts, they are referring to salaried Memphis employees. Most of salaried Memphis employees are not management. Calling us lazy cubicle dwelling memphoids (still haven't figured out what that is), you can't expect me not to go on the defensive.
A Memphoid (Memphis +rhoid, as in Preparation H) is a salaried cubicle-bound engineer or manager that has never been in the field or touched a package. Unfortunately, they are running the asylum right now, with predictable results.
People sitting in cubes don't run anything or make real decisions.
The people who are running things are in FWOs (Fixed Walled Offices).
Let me guess. You have a cubicle.
Yep and love it.
I can go a whole week sometimes without having to make a real decision that has risk associated with it.
One of the few good things about the new UPS.
At least you're honest. Sounds like you can hide-out.
Deja vuNo hiding out ... I'm usually working on a cross-functional team of 15 - 20 people with meetings and calls 5-6 hours a day.
Decisions are made by consensus although I have to make sure these decisions are sound, within scope of the authorized effort and we get things done on schedule.

Everyone is going to be getting an "insertion" soon, its called the "October surprise"....
Once xs and e2 are eliminated the sort times will be halved, meaning less hours in the AM.
Sure, a few lucky swing drivers may get around the same hours they get now via ROADS, but for the rest of us, bend over.
Exactly...grease up. I can totally see the SAL position being eliminated. Ours usually spends most of her day on Facebook, and doesn't really do very much. CSA's are having their hours slashed, with some of their functions being dropped onto the dispatchers. Hours cuts all around, courtesy of the world's best boss....C. Montgomery Burns.
the economy is bad and its very very slow at FedEx.I WANT A RAISE!!!
Good grief,Why are all the express drivers unhappy? Da! if you have been around the PSP philosophy for less than 10 years you wouldnt know that 10 years ago we made ups money and the ins. was the cadilac of ins.The only reason most of my coworkers are still here is the vacation.Where you gonna replace 5 to 6 weeks vaca.Psp meant something then,its all about the bottom line and the share holders now.In Oct. things are gonna change more.That 35 hour weekly minimum may go away and the pressure to do more in less time is gonna be bigger and the olcc's turn into warning letters and three warning letters in one year is termination.They need to cut help to pay the exectitives.The buyout is for non opirationals.Clear the fog thats in front of your face and get the big picture.
I have been around a lot longer than 10 years, so I do know. Like I said before, it's not what it used to be, but FedEx is still one of the better companies to work for. Grass is not always greener...........
