[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1072128, member: 12508"] Express and Ground really are like apples and oranges. Yeah, they're both fruit, but very different. The pressure [I]is[/I] enormous at Express, and equivalent to that of UPS IMO. Yes, they (UPS) deliver more packages, but their pickup structure is different and the routes are much more compact in most cases. Express is very underpaid relative to UPS, and the topout game Fred plays makes the disparity even worse. Upper management is going to discover the hard way that talented and competent employees simply won't do this kind of work for what Fedex is willing to pay. They'll go elsewhere, where there isn't as much stress or BS. Express used to be like working for Apple or Google...it was a highly desirable job at an excellent company. That equation has totally changed, and the new Express employee will be working here as a last resort, not as a choice they really wanted. That doesn't make for an efficient or effective organization. You truly get what you pay for. UPS is like a Lexus, and Express is like the Chinese knockoff that cannot even get imported into the US because it is unsafe and of inferior quality. Think Chinese Yugo. [/QUOTE]
