I've been here 23 years, and I can assure you that since before I got to this company and for years previously I owned it's stock, it has never been a "Mom and Pop" operation, but a highly profitable international corporation. While that may be your impression, it seems at odds with its history.
In 2022 it named our corporation #16 of the worlds most admired companies. It was the 22nd year on the list.
In 2000, it was ranked 104 on the Fortune 500. and was ranked 50 by 2018.
In 2020 for example, it had 69 Billion in revenue, 1.3 Billion in net earnings, and 73 Billion in assets...
By continually repeating this assertion, you are diluting your message.
Hello fellow poster,
You should review it with intense scrutiny, that is your prerogative. .
I can see how you would think that. “Family run” business alludes to the heavy hand and rightfully so FS and family have over this company. It also alludes to folks like you (read senior you) telling me that “FS always take care of his pilots”, “we go for small gains over time, don’t worry about the other guys (read UPS, legacies), “we have a great relationship with management that you don’t see elsewhere”. Then TA1.0.
Are these themes that represent my experience here family enough for you?
Lastly, it does not pay me you being riled up, so let me know what adjective you would like me to use instead of “family run” to show the disparity
Until then I will use “your archetype corporate organization”. Will this work for you?
