FedEx Eliminates 401(k) Match for Employees

Don't kid yourself

Fred Smith was an amazing man in his day. He and the people he places in charge each day will do anything to keep FedEx going including screwing you, dear loyal fed ex employee. It is cute that you are so adamantly standing beside your man. Sacrifices are indeed eminent, for all businesses big and small. I assure you that the monies will still be placed in the proper pockets.

Years ago the long timers who brought Federal Express to Memphis from a little hangar in Little Rock and stuck with loyalty like you to the man that held their children that were born as their wives visited the offices were forced out of the company that they considered family. Since then, they have struggled as the 55 year old men and women try to find work that is comparable. They have the work ethic and integrity that the younger generation has no concept of. None.

Laura has a strong point. We have watched as one small business after another compromises its morals and ethics for the almighty dollar. I encourage everyone however to look where their money is spent. Big businesses boom because they are bullies. They have buying power that we give them. The small businesses who treat their clients as people, making decisions based on logic instead of "policies" and somehow find a way to make money have my respect. Hopefully, they won't sell out. Hopefully, we won't either.
