“My belief is that we are choosing not to fix this issue because it is worth so much money to FedEx,”
They will pay some money to make the lawyers rich, no one goes to jail and FedEx will repeat it again after a few years. Rinse, repeat. Cost of doing business.
- TDL 14y agoIt's a civil issue why would anyone go to jail?
- Alaskan005 14y agoThis is civil, but if they broke the law (overcharging the Government on purpose) it can go criminal. If they want to pursue it of course.
- TDL 14y agoDefinitely a good point in that regard. Note: I certainly am not excusing this behavior; ethics matter.
- notJim 14y agoOr maybe, having been called out, they'll pay whatever it costs, and then fix it once, and it won't happen again? Sorry, but I'm not impressed by mindless cynicism.
- Alaskan005 14y agoAnyway, they were called out before being sued but did nothing about it. I am cynic because many big corps still have this attitude.
