Thursday 50th Celebration

[MassWineGuy]

Our station is celebrating the 50th anniversary this week. Hamburgers all around! Free, I think.

We celebrated today. Snacks and a nice letter from Fred thanking us for all our hard work as he lays us off.

As someone who is getting laid off that message really set me off today.

 

[Mindthegap]

Cakes and cupcakes.

 

[AB831]

Cold burgers, warm Diet Coke, and a personal thumbs up from Fat Freddy. Who needs jobs when you have a company offering up that kind of generosity?

 

[HedleyLamarr]

I have found the "Let's Celebrate Our 50th Birthday!" emails we have been receiving from the company store to be completely inappropriate and rather insulting considering what is happening at Express. The nerve of them; they actually think we are going to buy a bunch of that crap before they force us out.

They’re that out of touch with reality that, yes, they probably do think you’ll want to help their grift on your way out the door.

 

[FedexCares]

Fedex truly cares!!

50 th birthday party, PSP, GFT are all distractions from the fact there is no contract, fear of the union kept compensation higher,than the realization that management could take benefits and pay away at will have brought FedEx to the point where they will get rid of the “last mile drivers “ . Oh by the way the insults will continue till they lock out the last driver.

Get your popcorn and watch the dumpster fire as FedEx runs this ship into the GROUND!

How much tuition money did they give you?

 

[MrFedEx]

How much tuition money did they give you?

Still maintaining that everything is the same and that nobody is getting laid-off?

 

[MrFedEx]

How much tuition money did they give you?

Wow. That's a real rabbit out of the hat, or more like a leftover hot dog from the Misinformation Dumpster of Memphis.

 

[MrFedEx]

Fedex truly cares!!

Yes, they do. PSP, "FedEx Cares' and pandas. Don't forget about the pandas. Oh, yeah, and those starving PGA professionals who live paycheck to paycheck from the FedEx Cup.

 

[Cactus]

Wow. That's a real rabbit out of the hat, or more like a leftover hot dog from the Misinformation Dumpster of Memphis.

Exactly and coming from a real weenie…like Dano. How ironic.

We predicted this kind of stuff last year. Try to keep up.

 

[MrFedEx]

We predicted this kind of stuff last year. Try to keep up.

Sure. I think we have all read your past posts that indicated "nothing was changing" and that "Express couriers were still delivering Express freight" etc. All carefully selected to tamp down the anxiety. On one hand, we have FedEx talking heads openly admitting the business model has fundamentally changed, including an article in Forbes. On the other, we have folks like you and station management telling us "Don't Worry", just like Alfred E. Neuman.

I think your honesty is just slightly in question, don't you?

 

[SmithBarney]

I anticipate our food table will be up-ended nice and early. plenty of upset people.

I told Dano years ago this was coming.

 

[Serf]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t this unified merger sorta supposed to happen until the response to the “pandemic” delayed it?
