[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 566365, member: 12508"] Dumbest post? Richochet1, myself, and many other FedEx employees have invested many years into this company. This was based on the long-term premise(and promise) that FedEx had made a commitment to it's employees to deal with them fairly. We made a decision to make FedEx a career based on this premise. If you had worked for this company back in 1982 or so, that would have seemed like a good choice. Fred decided sometime ago that he would take a different path, and started to chisel away most of the postive aspects of FedEx so he could make more profit. This occurred slowly enough that many didn't notice what was really happening. Most of us thought that the take-aways would eventually be returned, because, after all, FedEx is all about PSP and putting the employee first. Right? Ever hear the analogy of the frog being slowly boiled in the pot? If you have 10-15 years of experience with a company and then try to transfer that skill set to another employer, you're going to lose big time. Seniority, vacation bidding, and on and on. Fred knows this, and knows that a 40-50 year old employee is unlikely to leave, even if they are getting screwed, because it isn't that easy to start over, especially in a severe recession. The net result is a lot of senior employees just putting in their time until retirement or waiting for unionization so they might get some of their pension back. That would allow some of us to actually retire someday. You're not too bright, so I'm guessing you have not ever considered how you're going to retire someday. Do you actually think the PPP will fund an adequate retirement? Maybe you have rich relatives or are expecting to win the lottery. Most of us depend on our pensions, and guess what? We don't have one any longer. Keep on believing, OK? [/QUOTE]
