[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 6148977, member: 24302"] You're looking at this from the company perspective. I'm looking at it from the pov of the employee. Everything is on one guy again just like decades ago. There's no divying up the work between divisions. One guy to drive a large stepvan. To handle a lot of bulk. To meet service. Deal with haz. Run a sort. Help with the reload. All the work of Express and Ground back together with a glaring difference. Back then we had excellent pay for the time. Excellent benefits. A future if we hung in there. Never mind what eventually happened. The company is now wanting people to sacrifice the best years of their lives running fire drills every day without the better pay, healthcare, and pension. [USER=55017]@It will be fine[/USER] gets insulted thinking I'm saying people at Ground can't handle what Express does. He misses my point. It's not that they can't handle it, it's adding all the extra burden to them without the better pay, etc and expecting them to be fine with that. That they will stick with it. Delivering Amazon for nearly the same pay suddenly looks a lot more attractive. I think FedEx is kidding themselves. [/QUOTE]
