I never denied that you saw posters or were told something by your manager. However, you think your experiences were representative of something greater than they were.
Dude, you went all in on something based on a poster and what a manager told you and gave that more weight than all other information that's out there. You sound like a hillbilly rattling off a "My daddy always said" old wives' tale that isn't true but you cling to it because daddy was always right about everything and he would never lie.
FedEx felt strongly enough about the need to encourage everyone to do their best because, as the poster that they had made said, "we are in a dogfight." Did I run down to the library and research the companies represented on that poster? No. I took them at their word. If you go back in this thread I mentioned that Emery was highly regarded. I wouldn't characterize that as all in. What it comes down to is we've had clashes in the past where I've strongly disagreed with statements you made questioning people's sanity, knowledge, cognitive ability being just couriers, etc. Of course you'll deny it now but you can be a pretty arrogant. But I digress. If I hear over a few years multiple managers talk about Emery, if the company considers them a serious competitor, and you weren't even there, why then should I take your word over everybody else's? And why do you feel the need to shoot down everything I post? Maybe not everything, but it seems like it sometimes.
