There was too much changing at the top of management after decades of stability. Why would so many resign or quit all at one?? I heard that Smith Jr was going to be the 'face' of FedEx so everyone jumped ship; because [IMHO] he saw how much $$$ Ground was making and now with the casual program he will slowly or faster make Express have less $$ tied up in pensions and benefits while the Smith family pocket even more.. The other management leaders fought, lost, and quit.. My thought..
