What happened?
Replaced with the green of greed by corporate executives and Wall Street tycoons.
Oh look! Another post by cactus predicting the downfall of X! You and MFE are heading up a team of "0 for's".
Your welcome Goldi.
I'm sorry you guys were disorganized, but much of it seems self-imposed. Times have changed. I do understand where you are coming from, do you understand where I am coming from? I have 10 driver who see your starting pay and would absolutely jump at your starting pay and benefits and have a great attitude about any increased pressures put on them. Fred knows this. Express is being "reset" to take advantage of a cheap labor market and by many economist's estimates he has a good 5 to 8 years to do it.
They may see our starting pay but have no idea what comes with it. The two opco are totally different and the pressure is much greater on the Express side. We earn every penny and more. Most of us start with that " great attitude", but it is quickly beaten out of you. If they think our starting pay is great what would they think of UPS starting pay and quick top out?
So you obviously agree with Fred's philosophy, weak economy = OK to screw thy customer?Oh look! Another post by cactus predicting the downfall of X! You and MFE are heading up a team of "0 for's".

nice post goldi. i only have 17 years, but yeah this peak kicked our ass. but at least at my station managers were doing the bulk delvs part timers were working as much as allowed...and of course the bitter friend'n couriers did their i need to drop this zone etc thing. but for the most part we got everything out, some of us worked today to do it..but it got out. I may be one of the last ones..but i still like my job, just not all the bs and changes. hell, i wear shorts and deliver a package
Thats great that your station got everything delivered. Our station probably still has on deck over 1000 christmas packages. Hope it gets delivered today....
Everything purged and everyone home early on Monday. We delivered the promise. Too bad the customer doesn't know better... We all looked bad.
And now, all those extra drivers are looking for a job. Awesome.Meanwhile, on the Ground side, extra drivers on board and everything (at least at our terminal) was delivered to all residential addresses by Christmas Eve ..
