This is also part of the problem. FedEx's legal department is also too arrogant to see when it's wrong. There are a lot of moving parts in HKG and some of them are discriminatory. They are very used to operating in Memphis where they get there way. They also get there way on Capitol Hill but my sense is that this will get interesting.
With that said, if anyone was knowingly ripping off the company, that's a problem. But the company telling your spouse where to live....I'm not so sure they can do that. Just because it says it in the contract doesn't make it legal. Food for thought.
Regardless, we need to support our folks that are undergoing a very stressful time. I'd sure like to know why the company is so fired up about this as I've heard through the grapevine the number of investigations is rather large.
Yet another thing to thank DW and his cronies for. They're arrogance and ineptitude will linger for a long time.
