[QUOTE="Aquaman, post: 5578593, member: 68552"] Sadly. The plan is to cut cut cut cut until we APPEAR super profitable and well run. When volume picks back up this company is going to sink. The biggest flaw of FedEx is how reactionary this company is. We endure nothing. The pendulum swings to light volume, and we brew up all these idiotic plans that never pan out. It swings back to heavy volume and we hire 100% more than needed. Nobody is forward thinking at this company. It’s all about today, and the new biggest disaster we can come up with for tomorrow. The biggest positive to UPS is their union. I know the company probably hates it. But it also frees them from wasted time trying to design new ways to screw over their biggest assets. They don’t have to waste time trying to cut hours. Or wondering what the raise is going to be for drivers. It’s all set in stone. It seems that all FedEx does is sit around and think of ways to screw it all up with a positive spin. Sure UPS lays off drivers during bad times. But it hasn’t hurt their hiring. Or the prestige of their driving jobs over FedEx’s. Sure they pay them a lot of money… but in doing so they have agreed with their drivers to demand VERY high standards & service. And sure maybe in residential deliveries the service & standards aren’t really that important when the driver is leaving a new scooter on a porch. But in business to business… the area UPS annihilates us, a driver who is extremely professional, can answer questions, and will go the extra mile for customers is worth its weight in gold. FedEx wants business to business. It’s the most lucrative. And they’re trying to go the “residential Amazon model” way about it. It’s not going to work. [/QUOTE]
