LOL, of course this happened, and just like you posted, too!
Part of me wants to simply write you off as some idiot with a personality disorder who uses this board as a place to seek validation via outrageous stories. Another part of me realizes that the kind of person who would actively and dutifully seek and gather as much dirt as he could on others is also the kind of person who would make such a mess of things that he'd need to have dirt on others to cover his rear.
You're a combination of the two. Lots of the former, some of the latter.
Having never been an RTD, you'd not know that that Freightliner FLDs were notorious for having the dipstick not tighten as they got older. We had more than a few blow out enough oil to trigger the shutdown.
it's amazing how hard you try (and invariably fail) to defend the way FedEx operates. Because you're weak of character and complicit, it doesn't bother you that this company has very low standards of ethics and conduct. Whatever they can get away with in terms of takeaways and employee "abuse", they will absolutely do, and then either justify it as a "benefit" to employees or provide some sob story about how the company will go broke. In the meantime, the upper echelon is never held accountable for their terrible decisions and are laughing all the way to the bank, nor are low level managers like yourself, who are protected by a rigged, anti-employee structure that always favors the company.
The pilots are union-protected, and enjoy very high pay and great benefits (including a pension) that they won't talk to you about. So, they don't care.
It takes a special kind of scum to enter FedEx management, and you're extremely qualified in that regard.
