I also said that, in general, working for the CEO/President that started and grew the company is better because they have more invested (emotionally and capital) and are less likely to divest the company, etc. Ask those who worked for Frank Lorenzo, the founder will only go so far to win - it isn't just another job for the founder.
Last, it was clear that most of the effects that we are seeing today are the result of middle management. I don't think that Fred has the time to weigh in on whether the ACP should be trying to catch someone screwing up a voucher. I didn't say that he never gets involved if the consequences are high enough, and I never said he was perfect. That was read into the posts by those who have this insurmountable jealousy for the success of others, I suppose - those who think that any acknowledgment of them is akin to wiping their a**. By the way, you don't grow a compnay the size of FedEx by being a bad CEO - despite some dropped balls (red letter) here and there.

What I said was that it's funny that people complain about how much the person who started the company and guided it to what it is today gets compensated. As if these wealth-envious would do any differently.

Offended FedEx pilot (who, evidently does love/worship FS) tried to blame the "disdain and abuse all pilots" nature and actions on "middle management" - and gave FS a pass on his actions (past, present, and future) as all being what's "best for the organization as a whole"
forgetting some of FS's actions (specifically towards the pilots) in the past that contradict this feeling of love and admiration.
Sorry I missed this the 1st time. Wow I was going to say I would offer you a pint if you had a need, because that is the type of guy I am. But I wouldn't want anyone to think I was gay so forget it. How about if Al Quaeda is storming the World HQ, do you hate the man enough to wait half a tic before calling the cops?
