[Fred's Myth]

"FedEx Express, the business that built the company’s legendary brand, today generates more than half of the parent’s annual revenue."

Glad I'm retiring. I don't trust him

Was there ever any doubt?

He looks like Biff from Back to the Future. I’m sure his promotion was due to merit and not who daddy is.

 

[MassWineGuy]

He simply has that vacant “Lights are on but no one’s home” look.

Will be interesting to see how good he is at greasing the politicians on Capital Hill.

He reminds me of a child who tries on his dads clothes, and they do not fit.

The peanut gallery will wail and moan, more out of habit than anything else. It doesn't make any difference to me if it's Richard Smith or someone else.

 

[MassWineGuy]

I’m sure Fred has arranged boundaries and precautions for what Jr. does.

Sure it will, especially if he's out to eliminate meaningless jobs.

You know, like yours.

The person and competence of a chief operating officer of the company you work for should make a difference Dano. Youre statement is not compatible with good, sound, logic. It makes a difference to me because I am concerned that the judgement of Richard could further negatively impact the thousands of people who are employed at Fedex and their customers. But then, my views extend out past myself.

He reminds me of Tommy Boy.

Meaningless words from a meaningless person. Thanks!

You don't give two farts about any of it. All you care about is getting yours. I don't hold that against you, just be honest about it.

As said in another thread, I don't care who runs things - just run them well. But the peanut gallery sits in the peanut gallery for a reason.

More duh-nile. I’m not surprised.

You play paper wad basketball, pull meaningless numbers out of your ass and have unproductive QDM meetings. Why would a new CEO need you?

And what exactly do you do for the company again?

I argue with idiots on the internet. Thanks for the job security!
