[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 866131, member: 12508"] The shift to Ground is already happening. IMO, it's regardless of our status, as evidenced by FedEx setting-up the mechanisms (electronic and logistical) to make it happen. Express has become even more rule-bound lately, which I think is a ruse to get rid of as many employees as possible before the changeover. IMO,the 10% profit goal is also fake, because it isn't going to happen at Express, especially given the economy and high fuel costs. The lack of profit will be used to "justify" the changeover of E2 and XS to Ground. Someone at the ramp told me that in their version of Frontline (Upclose), that FedEx made a big deal about their employee costs being 37% of the overhead "pie". 37% is actually a [I]low[/I] cost of labor, and if you figure-in the exorbitant salaries and perks of the bloated Memphis bureaucracy, it is very low indeed. Like I said, start looking for a better car than you were previously. Maybe a Porsche. [/QUOTE]
