they layed off in por , bse , today !!!!
Also laid off in LVS, PHX, RNO, WHT SBO and FTA. That's all I know of for know. I have heard that every Service Center in the West has been hit and from what I'm reading here it looks like Service Centers all over are being affected. I keep hearing there are more layoffs coming in Jan after we switch to the new Line Bids, I really hope its not true but I was talking to a WHT mechanic and WHT has shut down 50 city and line tractors with more tractors to be shut down in Jan. SBO has tractors that are out of service and there are suppose to be more tractors all over the system that are being taken out of service. The reason I was told that these tractors are being taken out of service is that the company is trying to save money by not registering and insuring this equipment.
I really hope all these rumors are not true, but I heard about these layoffs a month ago and I thought it was just rumors and CB talk but obviously it was not just rumors. I talked to a City Driver last night that is being laid off his last day is the 19th of Dec, he was crying and didn't know what he was going to do,he has 3 kids and has been with the company 3 1/2 yrs. This whole thing is very sad.
God Bless Everybody

What pisses me off about the whole situation is the fact that we are laying people off the week of Christmas. Kind of like screw you and go home without your holiday pay for your family. I'd like to kick the shiit out of the assshole suit that came up with that cold and heartless idea. Sorry to get upset like that, but that is just unacceptable to treat people that way. Especially before the holidays. WOW the greed of FedEx never ceases to amaze me........

If people top of the board would take a day off and let others run , we may get by without seeing any . Time are hard and getting harder , button down the hatches and get ready for a rough ride .
I'd have to agree with you bud,,,,, a "corporation" this size can't wait 2 weeks ????? Why ruin peoples CHRISTMAS ???? Its never good to lose your job,,,, but man,,,, where is your heart ???? I wish the best to all of us who trusted this company,,,,, this country,,,, We "little people" are now paying the price of a few ignorant a-holes that ruined our country,,, and our lives,,,,, and are still riding around in private jets and limo's..... We are not close yet,,,, BUT,,,, this COUNTRY could still "turn" and kick their butt...................
the guys at the top of the board have to work every saturday and they cannot afford to take the day off, they get somebody on short run to switch for the day.i don't get it
