Not meant as any kind of jab, just an attempt at a funny reference to what someone else quoted on another thread, where O relayed his take on the mano o mano quote and how the meaning was related to a Cuban translation of that term.

FROM the other thread:

"FDX O-hub turn meeting
Here are my notes on Today's hub meeting in the PM. Pardon the ramble...I really should take notes.

Swine Flu...Blah Blah Blah...we are using every precaution. See the Alpa email.

Apologized for "mano e mano", said he intended to mean as brothers it's a Cuban translation thing."

Point taken 4a2b and understood.

It just seem that too often on APC when someone has a problem with him as a mangager, too often his cultural heritage is referenced as validation of said incompetence.

Are you sure about that? I thought he was a Guard Baby?

Academy.....of Military Science perhaps?

I could be wrong though......Fighter Pilot - true.

My guess is he's not an English Lit or Communications major wherever he was educated though......(his secretary/proofreader needs to be fired too!)

I am no more impressed with this company "hapy talk" than any of you. But I have had a few experiences with O before he became the SCP, while he was working in the training department. I always felt he was fair and honest. While I am sure he is using some corporate talking points in his missives, I believe him to be a man of integrity. In other words, I don't expect he'll be negoiating against us anytime soon. IMHO, he is a giant step up from our previous SCP.

No your not fired. They are down to just one girl to stuff envelopes lick on a few stamps, then drive them to the PO. She probably turns out 500 or so a day.
