[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 3238413, member: 24302"] What a broad statement. I was raised to believe if you worked hard you would be rewarded for your efforts. I always worked hard because I believed I had an obligation to do so if someone is paying my way. And early on I believed very much in the company and what it was trying to accomplish. I was proud to be a FedEx employee. But eventually I could see that FedEx saw it's employees as a way to not only enhance it's profits, but to cover for mistakes like Zapmail. They wrote off close to $700,000,000 on Zapmail, and got conned over $110,000,000 by an accounting firm that they chose to use instead of a major respected firm. Suddenly we weren't getting raises in the 90's and they only started them up again due to a union scare. By then I had quit, frustrated. Making $13.11 in Colorado, then briefly $13.50 before I quit due to a mgr telling me better enjoy that 39 cent raise, it's the last you're going to see for a long time. Came back a year later, told I'd top out in 7 to 8 years. We all know what happened since then. You can put it on me all you like and I do bear much responsibility for quitting. Still doesn't change what they did with our pay or pension. And I worked in enough stations to see very similar things being told us to not believe it was the company stringing us along with lies. You can make it personal, but I saw first hand many people quit with 10-15 years in, who were very angry and frustrated. And that is why I don't hold the FedEx management team in high esteem. They were willing to sacrifice our financial future to greatly enrich their own. [/QUOTE]
