What don't you like about working at FedEx?
"What don't you like... I hate to say it, but I must wholeheartedly agree with this assessment. I have been a courier with FedEx Express for over 33 years, and it WAS a great job and place to work... not so much anymore. I use to be able to go above and beyond for my (our) customers and build important relationships with my (our) customers, but those days are over. Customer has a question. Sorry, I have numbers to make, if I take any time addressing the customer needs, even taking as little as perhaps three minutes, my numbers reflect that wasted time in my Gap Report. I then must explain to mgmt. what I was doing during that three minutes... and no, I'm not exaggerating, I have to now explain why I'm providing customer service. The new Motto at FedEx Customer Service will NOT be tolerated! I've spent decades being the Face of FedEx and being one who willingly sacrificed in many ways to proudly represent the FedEx brand. I earned the trust of my bosses, my peers and my customers, and it obviously all worked beautifully as FedEx went from (who) to becoming one of the most admired and respected companies on the planet. Myself and my long term peers, managers and executives accomplished amazing things... but all that is forgotten now. I now must be watched like a hawk and am no longer trusted. I feel like a known criminal who is bent on stealing from the corporation. My contributions mean nothing and have been forgotten. I'm no more respected or honored than someone who started at FedEx yesterday. In spite of the company belief, lowly couriers are NOT stupid, we understand the new global economy, we understand the need for belt tightening, we understand the need for change, we understand it's in our best interest that the company remain viable and strong, but I believe those goals can and should be accomplished with a sense of appreciation and gratitude for all the people who where there from the beginning and played an intricate part in growing FedEx into the great company it became... but we are not. We have been not only forgotten, but are now treated as untrustworthy liabilities. Don't like it, go work somewhere else... is the reply. I plan on doing that very thing as I watch FedEx become a mere shadow of the Great Company it once was. I hope the CEO reads this. I am grateful for what you provided us for many years, It was a great adventure,but now my blood is no longer purple, you have abandoned your long time employees, and it hurts. The transfusion to the New FedEx has replaced my blood with ordinary red blood, and for me, that is very sad indeed. The once proud FedEx Family no longer exists, today the term is merely a platitude. Disgruntled employee hardly. Impeccable employment record at FedEx, never a trouble maker, and grateful to a fault. Your loss."
