Conclusion
The story of FedEx’s decline and Collierville’s transformation is a microcosm of a quiet crisis that has been unfolding across the United States for decades, though it has accelerated greatly in the past five years. What began with a change in leadership from founder Fred Smith to CEO Raj Subramaniam has culminated in a vote of no confidence from its pilots, an exodus of loyal customers, and a community in the heart of Tennessee that is now unrecognizable to its lifelong residents.

Sad. For FedEx - and America.
When our government decided to bring in hundreds of thousands of Indians to taka all of our high paying tech jobs 10 years ago. You would think that they would of had the common decency to tell us so we could have re-tooled ourselves and not become peon wards of the state.
Just wow...unbelievable.
This started with the Immigration Act of 1990 and the H1b visa program. The US has been importing at least 65,000 high tech workers per year from that date. For a while the number of annual H1b visas increased to 195,000.
An education in high tech is truly a risky venture.
10? Where have you been. This has been going on fir well over 30 years. There’s been nothing remotely secret about it.
The actual numbers are unknown to us peons. The media doesn’t cover it and the government lies about it. If you don’t like it you are called a racist.
The first time I got the run-around from an Indian technical recruiter was in late 2013. It took them 10 years to completely take over tech recruiting in the USA.
And there it is
Exactly what went wrong
Why do I think that the H1B program is a giant money laundering operation? I may make the currently in-vogue Democrat fraud look like chump change.
Castaway to caste system
Before I retired, we had used FedEx constantly to send documents back and forth to consultants and outside legal counsel for signatures, or to follow up electronic copies with hard copies. I recall those overnight priority envelopes (delivery by 10:00 or 10:30 am the following day) costing somewhere around $8 or $9. So after not using them for a while, I was shocked when I needed to send an overnight envelope (for personal business), only to be charged around $80, and that was for 2-day service, and even at that it was only by 4:00pm on that day as well. I thought it must be some kind of prank, and maybe I was on a hidden camera reality show or something. THIS was FedEx? Did I somehow slip into a parallel, but backwards, universe without realizing it? That was INSANE!
If someone had a goal of destroying FedEx as quickly as possible, they couldn’t have come up with a better way to do it.
Yes. In a remake Wilson would be called Patel
“An education in high tech is truly a risky venture.”
I have a BS degree in Computer Science.
Until I retired I was an Electronics engineer.
I worked for a manager named Dulip Kumar.
He never messed with me. I was treated fairly.
Perhaps my Scottish/Polish heritage made
me more dangerous.
I like to fight.
Yup. I wasn’t aware of the Indian takeover of Fed Ex either. At the end of my career, I worked for Computer Science Corp. A Indian CEO was hired, he instituted a very destructive reorganization, H1Bs streamed in, quality crashed and we lost contracts left and right. Fortunately for me I reached retirement age before I could be replaced. I have a real sore spot for Indians.
Nothing has improved. I’m waiting on the delivery of a rear tire for my Spyder from Fed Ex. (not my choice) It has been out for delivery for several days now.
I live in a very rural mountain area of NC. All our delivery people (postal, UPS, FedX) are all friends, they say hello, pet our dog and give him a treat, and we give them Christmas gifts. A few weeks ago our FedX driver said good bye, said he was leaving FedX, couldn’t stand what was happening. Then a couple of weeks later our long standing monthly dog food order from Chewy didn’t show up. Tracking showed that it went from Tennessee all the way over to the east coast of North Carolina where it sat for 5 days and now was making its way back west towards us. We called Chewy and they apologized and said they would over-night a small free bag of food to use in the meantime. It never arrived either. The original order took another week to get here. We are hoping Chewy fires FedX. 🤨
There is a deservedly growing resentment of these Indian invaders...almost as much as the Meeheecans & Muzzoids.
Consider yourself fortunate. I have a doctorate in Mathematics and ended up outside the USA after sending about 700 job applications to high tech and academia over the course of a few years. Most of these were for American positions, and all this occurred in the 1990s.
At some point, seeing the crowds of people showing up at high tech job fairs, and collecting massive numbers of letters of rejection, I intuited that there was effectively a lock out of American talent from these job markets. At which point I became much more serious about applying for employment overseas, and something finally came through.
