It isn’t. But that’s corporate America and it’s disdain for labor. They can’t even stand their own business friendly model.

You do realize some commercials are local? Have you never seen your local car dealers commercial on SNF?

Just telling it like it is
Corporate America is run by cry babies constantly whining about labor. It’s a necessary evil they need to get over. Just like us having to pay by taxes and pay for insurance. We don’t necessarily like it but we know we have to take the salt with the sugar in this world.

They forgot to mention the part where "my work is undervalued".

“Ship by December 23rd and we’ll guarantee delivery by Christmas 2022!”
It's a poor setup to begin with and for contractors it's an impossible situation. Good to see that contractors in your station are perhaps learning to stick together and refuse to be played off against one another.
I quit last year but my brother still works there and keeps me updated. They started paying all package handlers $20+/hr because they didn't have enough bodies to get the sort done but management is confident they'll have enough people to get through peak so they're going to end surge pay starting November 1st 
I'm not surprised. If they had to pay 20 bucks an hour just to get minimal effort do they really think that they'll get maximum effort for 15?I quit last year but my brother still works there and keeps me updated.

Perhaps I understated the situation. Contractors are giving their businesses back to the company and walking away.

Sounds like it could eventually be a win for you if you can hold out long enough for FedEx to realize there is no more blood to squeeze out of you turnips.

One of the first Rules of Life I learned: Don’t
in your own nest.Someone should inform FedEx.
I am sincere when I say that I hope that you can get out under favorable terms. Roadway stayed B to B because it recognized the design limitations of the business model. It did what it was designed for pretty good but could not be all things to all people and serve numerous markets.
There’s a certain freedom in not caring at this point. I can fail pretty badly and not think twice about it. They have far bigger messes to figure out.
We’ve been telling them for months.One of the first Rules of Life I learned: Don’t

We had a little joke going around: They understand. They don’t care.
The joke is reality and we’ll see just what they make of it.

Wow. That’s quite a dive. I didn’t realize it was that’s bad.

Well, after all, you DID warn them that they didn't own a business.
Now if only FalconButt could be right just once.
