We were short in the seat and VIPS wouldn't approve any of the drops or moves I put in for, and I tried consistently.
I'm not complaining, I was and am still happy to be here. Just another side of the reserve story that some guys haven't had the pleasure of experiencing lately.
Acknowledged.
I've heard those stories before but could only offer what I've experienced in my limited time at FedEx. I'm thankful every day to be here and understand things could change in an instant. Appreciate the reality check Snafu.
