On Tuesday, over 200 FedEx employees had the rug pulled from underneath them. FedEx and FedEx ground are merging and closing four local sites in the process.
I WORKED at Punta gorda express site. We heard this rumor at the start of 2023 with no actual news from the higher-ups. The station started losing drivers fast just from the rumors at least 3 drivers a month. We all saw the writing on the wall. All our vehicles were being swapped out with rental vans and gave zip code areas to the ground station down the road. I left after news years. It's better to look for another job before this happened. Now all my co-workers are truly terrified. At this point the only option is find another and quit the day you ready. They don't deserve 2 weeks notice.
These layoffs need to be made national news. They aren't the first frontline employee layoffs they've done in the last year. FedEx is going to keep doing this very slowly all around the US to keep it in the local news only.
I was an Express employee for 41 years. When the company obtained RPS Express and changed their name to FedEx Ground the crap started. It’s taken this long but now that the founder is no longer involved, his son and the current CEO are running this once great company into the ground. The have absolutely no concern for their hourly employees like they used to have. So glad I retired and got out when I did.
@@405DCFL very true was motivation to get to the next step you get comfortable plus with inflation the money we make doesn't go as far so have to go get some more 💵 😂
I work for ground and unless you start your own contract with routes or make BC(manager for contractors) you make a little over 800 to 1000 a week no retirement plans
My CSP had the DOT numbers changed on all the trucks and some are having drivers carry letters saying it’s because FedEx has a new name and essentially a new company.
The Video showed some of the OLD (green) FedEX ground logo. The color were by divisions Purple,Blue, Green. I suspected something was up when The colors merged into the Purple logo (the word Ground vs Express, below was how you tell).
Worked for express for 6 years and funny thing is I had a handler ups job lined up too but fedex stepped up and hired me first but fuck fedex. Never enjoyed working for FedEx express
Blackrock, Statestreet, and Vanguard stockholders made millions , trillions even because they own everything. Power, water, groceries, pharmaceutical, hospital, insurance and more.
Making this political is dumb since it’s been in the works for years. Many companies have had such plans to maximize profits for along time. It has nothing to do with who is in office.
Only option is to Accept Jesus Christ in ur life & continue to pray. When they finish breaking down this world it’s truly going to be a sad day. Ppl just acting like they can’t process what’s happening like their slow. How else can the soup 🍜 lines begin if the world is still Up & running. U nd to break it down.
you're calling people "slow" when you are too slow to know you used the wrong "they're"....its " they're slow" not "their slow" its so easy to learn it but you had your whole life to learn this, that literally makes you slow
UPS is union and is laying of, I believe, 12,000 employees after the last contract ratification. Frankly, employees are too 'expensive' to a business. Its cheaper hire a company to staff the routes than to pay employees directly.
@@marksellinger3736 What does that have to do with anything? UPS is getting fired and FedEx is getting fired! One got a raise and the other didn’t. So my question is what is the problem then since they are both on the same situation?
While driving my bus route a fed ex driver tried to sneak by me while I was making a right turn in his personal vehicle. After he crashed into the back of the bus he talked about how he’s a professional driver an I was at fault. Pretty happy FedEx is merging with express. They need to make it like Amazon and not pay these dip shits anything
It’s private sector. If they don’t have revenue then they will release people. Also, it’s the end of the school year. Teens and college students looking for jobs. All the drivers with Class A I bet will have a job.
I left this crap company after 18 years. Best decision I ever made. They no longer care about their workers, only their shareholders.
That's all they care about
as a shareholder, that makes me smile
So buy shares
@@williammuthee2474 lol stop the cap. You're some neckbeard living in your parents' basement trolling online.
Same here.. left few months ago after 16yrs

That's the layoffs God only knows how many people they quiet fired already.
My FedEx van has no muffler and 4 different sized tires on his van. Live in rural AZ.
Ground contractors will destroy Fed Ex company. Dumb idea
All Fedex ground is contractors has been for YEARS.
lmao fedex ground is the reason the company has stayed afloat for this long
@@NarwhalBooplol have u looked at the financial statements?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 yeah fedex corporate has nothing to do with it
Express already destroyed it. Express is merging with ground, not the other way around

FedEx need a union
Unions have taken away enough jobs in America, I’ll pass on the union option, history is not favorable to them.
@@user-uz5ko8sv2foh so you can ship FedEx jobs overseas? Do you think before you type?
Terrible place to work
Absolutely. Especially the Moonachie, NJ (Bergen County) location.
Not surprised after losing that contract with the postal service…
This was going on long before that. And they let it go.
More layoffs = more crime.
Ive been at fedex ground for 8 years im leaving we are paid one set rate for a day as we merge we will have more work for the same pay ✌
Well at least you won’t be lazy no more. By doing more

All contractors are different. Here in Washington state some are offering $65k a year with medical and retirement.
It depends on contractor i bring home 1300 after taxes a week I’ve worked for 4 other contractors you just have to find the right one
twice as much as any company ever paid me. Where can I apply?
@@Furrylicorice what are the company names of these incredibly rare contractors? I'd sooner see a unicorn than a contractor you just described.
@@Silks I’m guessing you don’t live in Washington state ?
Full of unicorns here 😂
They really did a poor job at disguising her voice for some reason
Idk I don’t recognize it
I worked for them here in New Jersey and only lasted a week. They had me loading two busy backed up trucks all by myself.
My CSP had the DOT numbers changed on all the trucks and some are having drivers carry letters saying it’s because FedEx has a new name and essentially a new company.
Is this why I haven’t got my package for the last three weeks?
SHOW THE PROPER WAY TO LOAD THE BOXES ON TRUCK THEN !!🧐🧐👎👎
Amy looks like a child labor for Wink 😉News.
Yeaaahh yiy need to be on a list
Well…she’s in her 30’s sooooo
The Video showed some of the OLD (green) FedEX ground logo. The color were by divisions Purple,Blue, Green. I suspected something was up when The colors merged into the Purple logo (the word Ground vs Express, below was how you tell).
Actually it used to be green for ground, orange for express and red for freight. A few years ago they all changed to Orange.
Worked for express for 6 years and funny thing is I had a handler ups job lined up too but fedex stepped up and hired me first but fuck fedex. Never enjoyed working for FedEx express
This is devastating. Losing all your benefits along with your job
The reporter Amy looks like 14
I haven’t received a fedex package on-time in 15 years. I’m 33 now.
Blackrock, Statestreet, and Vanguard stockholders made millions , trillions even because they own everything. Power, water, groceries, pharmaceutical, hospital, insurance and more.
Fedex sucks!
FedEx has a terrible service than UPS though.
I moved from Naples to north Atlanta and since February 2023 i have a big increase and is more affordable in Georgia
Build back not going too well
This ball started rolling more than 4 years ago. Is this what you would call Great Again?

@@r77oliver😂😂😂😂 More than 4 years? How convenient. Life was Great Again. Now there are Nazis everywhere.
@@isaac198428of course you would say that. You people know nothing of politics anyways. Still stuck in the late 1800’s
F this company
Fed ex sucks
Mobile and fort Walton too.

Employees fired over the News?
Fight the Power
Strafford mo location. There is no benefits worth anything at all contractors… it’s ground.. not express.

What happened FedEx I thought UPS was only getting screwed because they got a raise? FedEx didn’t so what’s the problem?
UPS is union and is laying of, I believe, 12,000 employees after the last contract ratification. Frankly, employees are too 'expensive' to a business. Its cheaper hire a company to staff the routes than to pay employees directly.
@@marksellinger3736 What does that have to do with anything? UPS is getting fired and FedEx is getting fired! One got a raise and the other didn’t. So my question is what is the problem then since they are both on the same situation?
If there's a slowdown in shipping it's part of the global recession taking place.
The Amazon effect. Amazon has taken a lot of other companies market shares. Im stating the obvious, I know.
This has nothing to do with Amazon. Not even in the slightest.
While driving my bus route a fed ex driver tried to sneak by me while I was making a right turn in his personal vehicle.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 FX employees are so full of fear, they work in it, this ain't the first time, maybe the fear way is all wrong guys....
Don’t boo vote- keep voting republican
Artificial intelligence in the works
fed ex is horrible they refuse to pay for map real time tracking service amazon does this makes amazon alot better
It’s private sector. If they don’t have revenue then they will release people. Also, it’s the end of the school year. Teens and college students looking for jobs.
All the drivers with Class A I bet will have a job.
No more 170k a year for you fedex employees 😂😂😂
They make nowhere near that
They would be lucky to even be making 39k a year a lot of terminals only pay 4 dollars more than minimum wage i
And you never top out
I never made even half that in my 41 years with express. You’re delusional.
Just send all your money to Donald Trump and everything will be ok! #Trump2024
Trump should start up a crypto currency people could buy. Call it Trump Coin, he’s good for it, right?
I’d rather be homeless.
Wow. Amy is haf.
