[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 892502, member: 12508"] Unless you've actually worked for FedEx, you don't understand FedEx. As an "industry observer", you're not qualified to say what is positive about FedEx and what isn't. Sure, medical costs are rising, and FedEx is passing the costs along to employees, just like they do whenever the costs of [I]anything [/I]go up. Federal Express used to be a premier company to work for, mainly because they treated their employees with respect. At FedEx, unless you're a pilot or manager, that isn't the case today. Here are just a few of the benefits and policies they've stripped away over the years, mainly because Fred S has a special deal that allows him to keep hourlies non-union. He commands, and we jump, with no recourse. * Profit-sharing....long gone * Jumpseat...gone since 9-11, except for business. * Retirement Plan...the PPP doesn't even qualify as "retirement". It's a puny annuity. * Regular Raises * 2 years to top wage...try 22 years now. What other company requires 22+ years of service to reach top wage? Nobody. * P-S-P...it used to mean something. Now, it's simply meaningless. * FT work =FT status. Now, part-timers can be worked full-time hours indefinitely without ever being upgraded to FT status. And so much more. FedEx will take always take action to maximize it's profit, regardless of ethical or moral considerations. Profit-Profit-Profit. No People and no Service. Like I said, you don't "get" FedEx. [/QUOTE]
