Unreal. Recently at work, I've been having a problem with packages delivered while we were out: the FedEx driver leaves them at random offices in our building or even across the street but never leaves a delivery notice. I go to the FedEx site and it will be signed for by "George" or whoever but there's no clue where it is...so I walk door-to-door down the street to find it. I was mostly just pissed at the driver until I read this article today. Now I think I'm more pissed at FedEx and America's (and that includes me) insatiable appetite for cheap shit bought on the Internet and delivered quickly. The end result of all of this is injured delivery drivers, rich factory owners in China, and piles of clutter in our garages and attics.

Rich business owners and well-rewarded management in the United States, you mean. That was the source of most of the changes, including outsourcing to China. Least Fedex did plenty of good things for its workers, too, at least in Express and at the office. I know few people who don't brag about working there. Used to pay people for whatever ideas made the company more money, too. Recently they were doing cuts and I believe they paid people to leave rather than spontaneous layoffs. I hear UPS sucks across the board. My company sucks as badly. I can only imagine it would be worse without the unions.
