For two generations, Bob’s family didn’t just work for FedEx; they were a part of the Collierville community that the company built. His father, a Collierville native, retired as a respected FedEx pilot. Bob followed him into the company, securing a white-collar technical role and the promise of the same stable, prosperous life in the town Parade magazine once named “Best Main Street” in America.

At the heart of the issue is a fundamental miscalculation. The strategy frequently involves replacing small, highly skilled domestic teams with large, inexpensive offshore teams. An insider with firsthand experience claims this math never adds up. “Hiring 60 people who can’t do the job is vastly inferior to two people who can,” they stated. This approach leads not to savings but to massive cost overruns as unqualified hires, sometimes with fraudulent resumes, require constant management and produce subpar work. The projects they manage are plagued by delays, bugs, and production incidents, erasing any initial savings on wages as laid out in the original bid. As more of the team gets hollowed out, we see more production incidents, bugs, quality issues, et cetera. As the load increases, the people who can shoulder it burn out and churn, exacerbating the problem. Outsourcing and mass import of H-1B frauds put a company into a death spiral. Products and services never improve once this process starts. It isn’t cost cutting. It makes you leaner the way cancer makes you leaner, because that’s what it is. I’ve seen this firsthand and quit multiple lucrative gigs because of this.

FedEx chump delivered boxes to the Starbucks I was at today. Covered in tattoos and looks like a druggie. Threw two large boxes to the ground then kicked them to behind the counter. I would never use FedEx after seeing that.
What a terrible series of cynical, unAmerican decisions. Who is responsible for appointing Raj Subramaniam? Was he groomed as a successor or brought in by the Board of Directors?
[Because their CEO is a disgusting dalit pajeet, and that horrendous creature hired two more dalit pajeets for executive positions.]
I worked for them back in the 80s, and they had pretty high standards back then. No beards, no long hair on men, no visible tattoos, no earrings on men.
Nowadays that describes nobody.
I just ordered some 16 oz latte cups and lids last week. Three days ago I get the box of lids, but no cups. I checked Amazon and they said both boxes were delivered, presumably because FedEx said they were both delivered. I also didn't get a photo like I normally do. Fortunately, the other box showed up the next day. But this is the FedEx of today. Fred must be rolling in his grave right now.
IT people are coders, not executives making decisions on operating the business.
It's amazing to see them lie when the system shows otherwise.
They would lie about delivering it to my house and it would show up 3-4 days later. I had strangers sometimes drop off my package that had been left at their house on the other side of town. I then routed any order sent to me via FedEx to my nearby FedEx pickup inside a chain pharmacy.
Nearly 100% of the time, I'd get a notice that it had been delivered. I'd stop by the pharmacy on my way home only to find out it wasn't there. I'd call the shipper who'd initiate a tracer and it would miraculously get delivered to the pickup store the next day.
It must have impacted enough customers because after a while, I'd reach out to the online sales assistant and tell them I wanted to buy but only if they shipped it by a carrier other than FedEx.
The first few times, they balked but enough others must have been doing the same because not long after, they would ship via alternate carriers if I requested it. I suspect the sales teams working on commission forced the issue.
I am 15 miles north of Seattle and I use FedEx to overnight packages to Seattle. I have a bunch of preprinted slips with my account number on them and a bunch of soft packs. I drop them off at a FedEx location near my home or call for a pickup if I’m slammed with work and can’t drive to the store
It works great but there is no hub involved, just going straight south to Seattle.
IT people are coders, not executives making decisions on operating the business.
IT people interpret what the executives decide, and implement what they think the executives say are the decisions. All too many times, off-shore and H1B IT people get it wrong.
I've given up on full-time employment AND gig work. The Powers That Be (TPTB) aren't interested. Just like publications are no longer interested in hiring writers and editors who are fluent in proper English. (It's the money, stupid.)
Did I mention Indians wrote the software that crashed 2 Boeing 737’s?
The days of a hard working American working his way up from the mail room are gone.
IIRC, they were making less than $8/hr USD also. Absolutely disgusting that Boeing would outsource such a critical piece of software to the lowest cost bidder.
Shhhhhhh! We are not supposed to talk about this. A billionaire might not get his 200 foot yacht if we do!
Indians will ONLY hire fellow Indians.
Once just one of them gets into a hiring position in a company, it's over for that company. I've seen it more times than I can recount in my 42+ years in Information Services.
My last package from Walmart online was an $850 notebook computer. Fed Ex reported it as delivered. It was not. Weeks of chat sessions, phone calls, emails with Walmart, Fed Ex and eventually the middleman credit card company yielded nothing. Everyone’s “investigation” said it was delivered.
Someone in the Fed Ex delivery chain stole it. So, I am out the $850.
I no longer order from Walmart online. Being a 7-year Walmart Plus customer with well into 5 figures total on purchases meant nothing to them.
I don’t think your experience is especially unusual. I have a mini panic attack when I see something is to be shipped by FedEx.
Unfortunately
I once had to prove a package had not been delivered. And wasn’t that a treat and a half. I finally prevailed by showing the weight of the package they claimed had been delivered was very different from the item I had shipped to me.
(Indians will ONLY hire fellow Indians)
Yep - 99% of the time I’d say
Been going on for decades.
It doesn’t save anyone any money or get products developed on time.
Because what gets sent over doesnt work, so people here then have to fix it or dump it and make their own working version. So lots of time and money get wasted. Again, and again.
