FedEx the bully
Is it customary for FedEx to deny benefits when you are injured on the job? Or when THEIR doctor recommends surgery for a very painful spine injury which is needed ASAP? So they ignore any communication from doctors and lawyers because they don’t... — read more
Are we next?
How long before the layoffs hit our side of the pond? I know things are going good right now, but with the vaccine things will probably start to return to normal soon and the boost we received will dissipate. That's probably why we didn't provide an... — read more
Europe is about to get hit hard
Mostly TNT Express people will be affected but it's possible it will not be limited in scope. 6,300 people is not a small number, so anything could happen. From what I understand this was in plans even before the pandemic, so I doubt people will be... — read more

More layoffs to come
FedEx is going to lay off employees in cross border division, they are trying to keep it a secret and going to do it before the new fiscal year June 2019 - so they do not have to pay out employees earned vacation. There likely will be more layoffs at... — read more
Fedex Office layoff/rehire issues
Hi. A few months ago, my Fedex Office print/ship center was closed down and everyone laid off. I was approved for re-hire and have applied to several local Fedex Office Retail Centers (my first experience was with Kinkos before it was bought by... — read more

FedEx / Frequent Buyouts
I was with Fedex for a very long time, they offer this every few years because they had a no lay off policy. I chose to take the buyout and they gave me a beautiful severance package. Couldn’t have made a better move, even though I loved working for... — read more
Their purpose is plain and out front.. to reduce long term head count and replace with younger less expensive employees.
Older employees cost more in benefits and base. you can sign off on it and ask to take it but are not guaranteed to get it, if you are critical or outside their target audience. Offshore is temporary, and is being replaced by moving to public clouds... — read more
Buyout offer
Four weeks of gross base pay for every year worked (needs to be continuous) at Fedex... When you add all weeks up it cannot exceed two years. I think you max out on the buyout if you have more than 26 years of service with FedEx (26 years x 4 weeks =... — read more
No layoffs ever? Do you remember 2009?
Over 1000 employees were let go in IT only - I was one of them. Not sure about other groups but I can tell you that they continue to still outsource overseas and this will not stop. Just ask around, ask people what's going on in IT and how much US... — read more
Yes, no, yes, no...
OMG, so much drama. For the folks that are not with the company any more, rest assured, the news about the buyouts are true but it's unlikely there will be a cut following it. If you remember, we had a buyout offered in 2012 and i think 1,500 people... — read more

Any idea what's the target number?
Do we know how many people need to accept the buyout offer for us to avoid any further layoffs at FedEx? It really would be great if the number can be matched. I know a lot of people who can't wait to get out of here. However, I'm still worried it's... — read more
Still not much concerned, but...
I've been with FXS for about a year now, I am in one of the non-Memphis branches. Anyhow, folks are mildly concerned with buyouts, but there is no freak-out and things are orderly - I guess people are feeling OK-ish overall. This is my first job... — read more

Stay away from FedEx
You don't want to work there. The end plan seems to be to move almost all IT to outsourced vendors. Pay is stagnant and benefits get worse each year. I have worked there for 5 years, they are currently trying to force out old timers with needed... — read more
