Does working at a regional somehow entitle you or make you more susceptible to calling names and hurling insults in public? I don't think that's what you were trying to say......but it seems like it.....as if ....If I worked at a regional in the past, I would give myself permission to act in an anti-social way.
Perhaps its because some of you grew up in a society where differences of opinion automatically devolve into tribalism and gutter warfare....I'm just guessing here...not accusing.
I still don't get it...it seems pretty insecure to me. The guy was negotiating on your behalf....you don't think he did a very good job....why are you so angry because he missed the mark? IF a baseball player strikes out, are you the kind of guy who will then pile on and throw his hotdog at the guy?
I see what you're saying. You didn't work for a regional clearly and there's a reason people like him drift to management; can't see the forest through the trees.
However unpopular my opinion may be of him to you, it is my own, and you deserve yours. No one asked him to "negotiate" for anything on our behalf. Further, because you've never been at a regional you wouldn't know how much of an insult it really was. Whatever, your background was, I'm grateful for. It's what makes FedEx a great place to work. I appreciate your perspective.
