Invited to VP Sam Nesbitt conference call

[floridays]

Absolutely. There was never any reason for me to worry about those higher up the chain.

Most yes men don't have that worry.

 

[59 Dano]

I agree with Van, If he is incorrect you need to do a better job with your messaging. Thanks for being played.

Van has always had issues and will continue to do so.

 

[59 Dano]

Most yes men don't have that worry.

Do you worry about those higher up the food chain?

 

[floridays]

Do you worry about those higher up the food chain?

I guess you don't realize being a yes man wouldn't be the only reason not to worry about those higher in the food chain.

What a broad statement. I was raised to believe if you worked hard you would be rewarded for your efforts. I always worked hard because I believed I had an obligation to do so if someone is paying my way. And early on I believed very much in the company and what it was trying to accomplish. I was proud to be a FedEx employee. But eventually I could see that FedEx saw it's employees as a way to not only enhance it's profits, but to cover for mistakes like Zapmail. They wrote off close to $700,000,000 on Zapmail, and got conned over $110,000,000 by an accounting firm that they chose to use instead of a major respected firm. Suddenly we weren't getting raises in the 90's and they only started them up again due to a union scare. By then I had quit, frustrated. Making $13.11 in Colorado, then briefly $13.50 before I quit due to a mgr telling me better enjoy that 39 cent raise, it's the last you're going to see for a long time. Came back a year later, told I'd top out in 7 to 8 years. We all know what happened since then. You can put it on me all you like and I do bear much responsibility for quitting. Still doesn't change what they did with our pay or pension. And I worked in enough stations to see very similar things being told us to not believe it was the company stringing us along with lies. You can make it personal, but I saw first hand many people quit with 10-15 years in, who were very angry and frustrated. And that is why I don't hold the FedEx management team in high esteem. They were willing to sacrifice our financial future to greatly enrich their own.

Boo hoo.

I am eating at Bojangles' and everyone is looking at me because I am crying uncontrollably at this sad, sad story. Even though tex had told a version of this story dozens of times, it still makes me cry.

You still refuse to take off the rose colored blinders 'eh?

You're a fool.

Maybe. But tex is a whiner who lives in the past and cries daily about events from the 90's. Move on

Hey, a lot of decisions made by upper management back then and later on affect us to this day and most of them in a negative way while they feasted like there was no tomorrow with record profits.

 

[59 Dano]

I guess you don't realize being a yes man wouldn't be the only reason not to worry about those higher in the food chain.

Ohhh, the fact that I'm not a whining employee means I'm a yes-man. Got it.

As I was saying...

 

[Oldfart]

You don't like the pay, benefits or management. Quit and work somewhere else. Things are not gonna change. Many people just got 7% raise and that still isn't enough to satisfy people.

 

[vantexan]

As I was saying...

And you were so happy with the company that you left it. What does that say?

 

[vantexan]

You don't like the pay, benefits or management. Quit and work somewhere else. Things are not gonna change. Many people just got 7% raise and that still isn't enough to satisfy people.

Something they just started last year. Finally. And only because
they couldn't people. They could keep you, but you're not people.

 

[Cactus]

And you were so happy with the company that you left it. What does that say?

I don't think Dano really left the company.

He's just likely throwing a red herring at us or his new boss is dumb and blind to the fact that he spends so much time on this forum.

And you were so happy with the company that you left it. What does that say?

Dano = BS artist.

 

[Cactus]

You don't like the pay, benefits or management. Quit and work somewhere else. Things are not gonna change. Many people just got 7% raise and that still isn't enough to satisfy people.

I did last spring. Retired. Got a new job.

Oh by the way, after all the years of no raises or scrawny ones that couldn't keep up with inflation, 7%....Ooh! I'm so impressed. Uh, not really.

 

[floridays]

Ohhh, the fact that I'm not a whining employee means I'm a yes-man. Got it.

No. Most always your responses are company line or from the talking points you clowns circulate. Your gone now, no longer a reason to be a sycophant.

 

[floridays]

Van has always had issues and will continue to do so.

And you have no issues? Why did you bolt the company?

 

[59 Dano]

And you were so happy with the company that you left it. What does that say?

I'm not sure what it says because the person asking me won't stop whining about the company that he went to work for, then quit, then went back, then quit again, then went back again, and then quit again.

You've got some stupid idea in your head that I was in love with the company when I made it pretty clear that FedEx was just a job to me and nothing else.

 

[It will be fine]

You never make that clear.
