What about the lawsuits that are hurting FedEx. FedEx has exhibited a Defiant attitude. In a group meeting a manager said,"FedEx has a team of lawyers, sue us, we will win!" A FedEx"s manager denied me time off to attend my Father's Funeral. He also denied a Hispanic employee time off to attend his StepFather's Funeral. A fellow employee informed me that this manager gave a white employee time off to pay court fines for writing bad checks. This is the most INHUMANE TREATMENT an employee can experience at his workplace.
