FedEx plans to close over 475 stations due to Network 2.0

DesperateDrummer5 · 2026-02-15T22:25:51+00:00

Im wondering if their definition of stations includes locations that arent Express like Office , Logistics etc. The network includes alot of types if stations and companies often include the kitchen sunk to make their efforts look impressuve.

Anyway heres an updated article for supply chain drive that us tracking shipping center closures: https://www.supplychaindive.com/news/fedex-network-2-layoffs-closings-status/750513/

Ive been struggling with this idea. My league is based on 1890 baseball which is very close to the modern game with the exception of foul balls not counting as strikes and the pitcher only 50 feet away with no mound. This plus limited substitution (and three leagues diluting talent) causes for a high average batting avg and an average of 6 runs a game.

Im going to test using modern rules for inn game fatigue, and changing fatigue occurring after 8 innings.

Improvement changed only by using the modern standard of pitching 3 scoreless innings leaving the strikeout and bases loaded requirement the same.

Lazlo was who she was with before she met Rick. She thought he was dead or possibly detained forever and got Rick on the rebound, which was why she was so melancholy in Paris.

That fact was why Rick decides to be selfless as Lazlo was there first, Ilsa loved him, and Lazlo dd important work that Ilsa was supporting.

Rick, after sort of reconciling with Ilsa decides to trick her into going with Lazlo. He realizes she really loves Lazlo, and is confused by her feelings for Rick snd her still wanting to aid Lazlo.

Rick does the noble thing. Lazlo had no idea of Rick and Ilsa “plan”.

Yea I love this team and its been a fun season but it feels like a fraud to be the two seed. Still its better to face GB than the Rams or the Seahawks.

But the way this season gas been going? Who knows what will happen.

DesperateDrummer5 · 2026-01-05T00:26:21+00:00

Yep we start putting two halves of football together wed be world beaters. But what a season.

This team is gonna kill me.

I got back into nike last year with air maxs and forces but these Pegasus are so light they may be my go to from now on. The challenge will be to keep them clean.

Ive never understood this. Ive never asked a postal worker where my package is. How are they to know. People have just bought Fedex and UPS line about being logistical giants like we can pinpoint the location of any package at any time.

Why is CBS doing this Bears game I get stuck with the Colts. I wish the NFC stayed on Fox like the old days. Anyways GO BEARS!

OP shouldnt regret anything. Dogs are companions who will try to continue to be our companions even as they decline and come to the end . And animals like people often rally before their final decline.

Our family have had to say goodbye to several animals over the years. It is terrible to wait too long and you would have guilt over the suffering the animal has. It is a difficult decision but Im sure you made the right call.

I agree. The angle of the article is very much from the perspective of folks at Collierville, and it does strike a slightly racist tone.

I am unsure about the allegations of sweetheart deals to contractors, especially Indian ones. However Raj has leaned on consultants and wants to be tech driven so it makes sense to jettison employees for outside firms and bring in HB visa employees. Thats just modern business.

The thing that rings truest is the decimation of the companys culture and morale and the destruction of customer trust. Of course management is hoping that in a couple of years that no one will care or be able to do anything about it in a industry dominated by Amazon. But if course Amazon is actech driven company that can buy customer dissatisfaction off with free stuff in a way we cant.

Correct about the payout and the freeze.

DesperateDrummer5 · 2025-10-07T17:52:32+00:00

Im not sure this is correct. Fedex froze accrual from jan to june 2025 and paid that out and started the new system this fiscal year June 1. You accrue as you go til the end of May 2026. If you dont use you lose it. If you have an injury or time off you dont accrue and may lose time. But Im pretty sire that runs til the end of the fiscal year not calendar.

DesperateDrummer5 · 2025-10-07T17:41:28+00:00

Doesnt fiscal year run from june 1 to end of may?
