[QUOTE="MassWineGuy, post: 5309609, member: 44554"] I’m no economist. And now that I’ve dedicated my life to helping Swanson and 48 Meeting get the help they so badly need, I have no spare time to get another degree. But… Seems to me that FedEx wants to keep Express understaffed. It’s cheaper, even with occasional OT, those who quit get replaced for less money and customer attrition is minimal because UPS isn’t any bargain, either. People quit, those remaining get overworked, leading to more folks quitting, etc. This has been the norm for so long, the major reason must be that the company still believes it pays well. Does anyone see that changing at all anytime soon? This seems to be the fundamental problem that then cascades downstream. [/QUOTE]
