What does that have to do with the price of tea in China? The Current Events forum reveals all.

I have a theory that you are generally wrong about everything (hence "the oracle" moniker). In another thread you stated that the investigation had ceased due to a paucity of evidence - basically, you take everything the POTUS says at face value. Do you still stand by your assertion that the investigation is "fake news?" I'm interested in your opinion, as I think it will shed light on how the investigation plays out.
Are you a moderator?

Just letting you know there is a forum on this site for discussions on politics. You seem to not understand that.
There are members of the BC staff that post about political issues on this forum all the time. Thanks for your gratuitous info, though.

They are active in the current events forum as well. You seem to want to argue politics. There are plenty of people there to argue with. This forum is for FedEx discusions. This isn't that hard, I'm not sure why you're confused.
If by confused you mean enlightened, then yes, I'm really, really confused. By the way, I seem to recall that you yourself have posted several political posts over the years; why are you taking the role of moderator now?

As long as it's not with the IBT.
Depends on what state you live in.

No I don't take everything at face value and if you'd been paying attention you'd know what I think of Trump as an individual and how undignified he comports himself as President. Doesn't mean I disagree with everything thing he's trying to accomplish. Some of it is necessary and most of what he does is distorted by the Dems and their partners in the Press to prevent him from achieving his agenda and hopefully in their view get him somehow removed. Current hot button issue about meeting with Russian lawyer is absolutely, as Van Jones likes to say, a nothingburger. But anyways be a gentleman and don't make Operational Needs upset. Take it to Current Events. After all nothing can possibly be said on this forum that you don't know forwards and backwards so your obvious intellectual superiority is wasted on us truck drivers here.

I made my point, there's nothing to debate with you. Political discussions belong in current events. Deflect all you want to, it doesn't change.No response? Surprise, surprise, surprise - yet another BC member that is constipated: that is to say, straight-up, full of
At the risk of sounding redundant, you've never posted political commentary in this forum?

This is what I meant by deflection. For someone that likes to pretend they are smarter than everyone, you are having a pretty difficult time grasping the concept here.
You're hardly one to speak authoritatively on how to behave as a gentleman. Within the confines of my moral code (and gentlemanly) you treat your wife like
.Your sense of irony is highly evolved!
And again, you express very little knowledge about Express. Your reason for being here appears to be to glom onto details of other's lives and ridicule others for it. In my own case you can't stand that I was able to leave the company while you are working without benefit of a traditional pension and realize you most likely will continue to work a very long time. Anything to try to shame me about my choices in hopes of altering my goals. I can do a lot more for my wife financially by doing what I'm doing at this point in my life. Highly likely she will outlive me by 10 to 15 years. And you have no idea how I treat her or what goes on in other people's relationships. You're just a hateful human being looking to hurt others.You're hardly one to speak authoritatively on how to behave as a gentleman.

You didn't answer. Post details about this meeting you observe.
You play many hats and pose many politically loaded questions. You're a hs senior and now a well traveled guru. Like I said the other day, are you practicing how to be a Fedex manager? Always right?

I don't know a percentage of who has a guaranteed 5-10% raise yearly. We don't have a guarantee of it either, thus the term "plan" that the company is using.
That's the point. My senior was bragging last fall that we'd all be getting about 6% raises because of this awesome plan. I got 3.5% because of where I fell in the steps. A ~6% increase this year would be nice, but I'm not counting on it yearly. I don't count on anything financially until I see it in my account.

I believe you need to re-read his comment and watch for the comma.
Having some semblance of a pay-plan, however vague, is still better than what the majority of the working populace has.
3.5 percent, in this era, isn't too bad. The global economy no longer works for the majority of the global population; what do you expect? It's hardly an issue exclusive to FedEx.
