[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 547609, member: 12508"] I'll take your word that things have changed. Several years ago, in order to educate myself, I actually attended a Ground contractor info session. In the handouts were a number of legal requirements, one of which was that a logoed vehicle could never be used for personal business. You say that's changed, as have other provisions, probably to try and establish all of the freedoms you enjoy as an "IC" and blur the legal lines between employee and contractor. A typical FedEx ploy. I used to love my job[I] and[/I] FedEx. I didn't change the job...Mr Smith did. You don't work for Express, but I have never had a score of less than 6.8 on a review in over 20 years. In Express-speak, that makes me an excellent employee in every category of evaluation that exists. I work hard because I have self-pride and a personal standard of excellence, not because I have any affection left for FedEx. I wish you had the perspective of over 20 years working for Mr Smith...as I do. Then you would understand how long-term employees feel about the way that Fred did a 180 on them even as they continued to go above and beyond as is expected at FedEx every day. As much as I disagree with you, you're playing by Fred's rules and doing well in spite of them...I applaud your success. But it's naive to think that FedEx is an [I]ethical [/I]employer. Testicular Fortitude is dead-on when he says that FedEx is going to get slammed in the near future. Nobody forgets being dumped-on, and payback is in the cards for Fred. [/QUOTE]
