Not that it even matters to me, but first class mail will be replaced by FedEx and UPS priority deliveries as first class mail will become a two day service.

The guy probably does not hate his job's payout because even a SCM makes over 130K including bonuses so I'm sure this guy is rolling in it. Never ever heard about USPS handling FedEx duties.... I still stand by my statement FedEx fucking sucks a corrupt company; but I guess that doesn't make them much different than most corporations in the America? And people seem to be fine with that.

@shagen454 Of course within your post you directly addressed the teleprompter guy: "the way this guy speaks, completely disingenuous, stale, planned is exactly the way that company is all the way to the top." ; that's why I responded acerbically. I really don't know what you expect that guy to do. I'm sure he hates his job too. No need to dump on him in an empty way if your target is really FedEx.
People didn't "fall for" it; I would guess the 3 upvoters (wow, how many power points will that get me?) were simply rubbed the same way I was with your post.
I am a little familiar with the operations of FedEx, UPS and the Post Office. I wouldn't want to be a grunt in any of those places either; having my times constantly checked. Does that mean I would chuck a monitor over a fence? At least they didn't can that guy.
Since Fed Ex is actually contracted by the Postal Service for some mid- and long-haul routes, shutting down the Postal Service would actually hurt some parts of FedEx. Also, I don't think that UPS or FedEx will offer a replacement for 1st class mail.

Its funny that your comment is meant to be upvoted. Yay, for witty cynicism. It's phrased for upvotes and people fall for it. Which message should i vote for, oh the dick joke one... retards. I fucking know FedEx inside and out and all I'm saying is that this guy gets under my fucking skin because I know how to read it. "Make every FedEx experience oustanding"... shut the fuck up corporate pig get back to eating your fucking hotdog and checking your email.

My message wasn't specifically addressed to this guy reading the TelePrompter anyway; my message was about fucking FEDEX. It's a horrible company to work for; but the service is actually pretty good besides chumps throwing your package or printing you presentation head to toe.

What you don't have anything else to say about the government screwing over the post office, or about FedEx specifically? Or did you just cum on this thread to tell a dick joke?

>> ^bmacs27:

The only problem is that the video does reflect their delivery drivers, at least in my experience. I can't remember the last time I made it to the door before they were back in their truck.


This is true, but I would also assume they are under extreme pressure to make sure they make all their deliveries in a given time period. Those extra seconds of waiting for someone to come and answer the door can add up.

I don't know what you want this guy to do; suck your dick? He got on the innertubes, apologized and said they were taking measures to discipline the guy. Is every company man supposed to be a crack orator?

If I had an important urgent message to send, I would read it off carefully, too. Wouldn't you? >> ^shagen454:

Fuck FedEx. They treat their employees like shit and it's in my belief that that our government helped fuck the post office in order to help private companies like FedEx and UPS. FedEx is like a corporate Scientology, the way this guy speaks, completely disingenuous, stale, planned is exactly the way that company is all the way to the top.

That Samsung monitor looks like the same one I bought that is now sitting in my hallway on the floor. It's a 1080P panel with HDMI but cant properly run at full resolution with a DVI adapter and has the WORST up/down angle LCD color and contrast distortion, and a horrific control setup with "touch sensitive" controls that are a pain in the ass to use. All around the worst monitor I have ever purchased.
Judgement: Monitor probably improved.


They're Samesung now!

I think Fedex drivers are all independents who own their own trucks. I've complained several times about my guy. Just an absolutely dishonest, lazy sack of shit. Complaints just go unanswered. I never use Fedex when I have a choice in shipper.

How do you know he wasn't delivering a soccer ball?

>> ^kevingrr:

I witnessed a Fedex guy doing this in my neighborhood (Wicker Park in Chicago).
He full on chucked a package like it was a soccer ball.
This is why I have everything delivered to work...always.

This is one thing that I feel very strongly that we (Americans) do right. I don't know how it really works in practice in other countries, but the way you describe it, it would be far too easy for a government to set up a massive illegal fishing expedition to look for any hints of illegal activity, then either have a fall guy or claim that it was an accident when they wanted to use the 'evidence'.


But if you've got nothing to hide, why is this a problem?

Just kidding!

That's a good point. My comment is predicated on the government having the citizens' best interests at heart. It's debatable just how naive this, but I don't think many people would say not at all. I certainly wouldn't!

Here in Portugal the law is similar to german. You obviously can install a video surveillance system, but you need to fill out a form informing the data protection agency, telling exactly what can be seen through the camera(s). Otherwise, that footage will never be accepted in a court of law as evidence.

Another fun fact in law differences just by the way: evidence illegaly obtained can sabotage a case in the US (at least has to be disregarded) whereas it makes no difference in Germany. Police unlawfully searches your home and find drugs? You will be prosecuted (but the copper also will).

That's interesting. I always thought it was weird that illegally obtained evidence is unusable, surely if it proves the guy did it then evidence is evidence? If it is obtained illegally, then whoever obtained it should be charged with whatever the illegal action was. Court cases should be "is the guy guilty" rather than "can we show the guy is guilty within the rules". I know it gets more complicated than this but on the face of it "evidence against Mr. Big is accepted, but you just implicated Officer Smith" seems right.

They left a $4200 (+tax) software delivery (IE they basically delivered a card with a serial # on it) sitting on the floor in the hallway outside my apartment as it was a copy of the local coupon rag.
From the same experience, I'll also never give any more money to:
3VIZ Software (Canadian distributor of Autodesk.. based on my dealings with them I'd be surprised if they're still in business... bunch of fuck-heads they are).
Autodesk (Makers of 3DS MAX... pick terrible distributors and now call me every four months to harass me about costly upgrades and "subscriptions" that I'll never buy.)(also consistently set deadlines for the upgrades and subscriptions that are totally imaginary).
FUCK YOU UPS
FUCK YOU 3VIZ
EAT A FUCKING COCK AUTODESK

Something in this vein happened with UPS almost three years ago and it still makes me so fucking mad when I think about it... I will never use UPS again. Fuck you UPS you useless cunts.

One time a UPS delivery girl dropped off my package and as I watched her from the window, her not noticing, she walked by my sprinklers which were on and saw one was broken. She bent down and fiddled with it for a good 30 seconds until it was fixed and sprayed correctly, I thought that was the sweetest thing ever.



They must like me because I'm such a pleasant person...staring at them through my window like a creeper.

He should have tipped the guy.
