FDX-Mil Leave, Veterans Day & BZ Cookies
 
Anyone check out the reception in the "George Jetson" lounge last night in Memphis?

There was lots of cake and specially wrapped BZ cookies!

Your CP was there quite awhile, but I didn't see him interacting with too many "flying pilots"

Were the BZ cookies for our past efforts...current efforts...or those expected over peak?

Anyone else see the irony here?

Discuss

ps - I didn't see him wearing his Contract Now lanyard (??)

FDX-Mil Leave, Veterans Day & BZ Cookies
 
I thought the cakes and cookies were a nice gesture from the company. My previous company would never have done anything like that. But after seeing BillyMac sitting right there in front of the setup I decided to divert to my usual coffee and popcorn snack. ;-)

Here, have a cookie. And don't take mil leave over peak. But thanks for your service.

That's what I saw.

And sure enough the FCIF came out today

He directly stated that "Capt DT" will be calling commanders again for those scheduled to serve their Guard/Reserve units over peak

"Capt" ???

Is that the title he'll use?

Thanks to all who are continuing to serve in our Armed Forces

Serve proudly --- and then spend the necessary time you need over the holiday season with your spouses & children.

You've earned it. They've earned it!

BM is truly a POS! I'll have a doctors note and be on mil leave December 15th! What a turd.

Is he really this tone deaf? To put out a message like that on Veterans Day?!

Look...Captain Shaguar...I understand we're short over peak. I understand you want us to give you early notice. I understand you want us to avoid serving during FedEx's most busy time.

BUT, I don't understand why you would send this message out on Veterans Day?! Send it out 2 days from now. Send it out yesterday. Send it out never! General Zod is going to call regardless...so, why bother to send it out?!

As the cool kids say...smh.

...His lack of SA is incredulous

Hopefully the crew force is more observant...more thoughtful...and more intelligent
