I am setting-up my departure from FedEx, and will happily leave when the opportunity arises. The point of my posts, which is lost on most of you,is the degree to which you are being taken advantage of, especially compared to UPS. No true pension anymore, a wage scale that takes over 10 years to top-out, and abusive management are just a few of the fine features that characterize FedEx these days.
In my location, numerous employees have quit, and continue to do so, in spite of the economy. This includes managers, senior managers, and RTD's, in addition to many couriers. Unlike cheerleaders like the Church Lady and New Englander, they've figured out how badly they are getting screwed and are smart enough to move on. Until FedEx has a union or other major change in upper management/labor relations, there isn't any future at FedEx.
