[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 562462, member: 12508"] Excellent post. "Active deception" is an apt term for what FedEx engages in on a nationwide level. It is intentional, and it has worked for a long time. While I can understand why someone who has never held multiple positions doesn't understand some aspects of the operation (FDR's, for example), it's hard to fathom the general level of ignorance out there. Some employees are just stupid, and soak up the misinformation like a sponge. These are the believers who think FedEx can do no wrong. Others have just given-in, and are waiting to leave as soon as the economy improves. You've mentioned a mass exodus before, and I think that's exactly what will happen within a few years, even if wages and benefits do improve in the event of unionization. The original Federal Express was a great company, and many of us made career decisions based on how that organization conducted business. Unfortunately, Fred changed the rules in the middle of the game. Once you've got 15 or 20 years into a company it's hard to leave because you have so much invested in terms of seniority. Age is another factor. If I'd known what was to come I'd have left long ago, as would have many others. [/QUOTE]
