They are not supportive or compassionate at all. <BR/>I feel for Jean. Having Cancer changes your life and causes stress. Where is the understanding and compassion?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3308034272015481679.post-4937005365567053252008-04-23T18:30:00.000-05:002008-04-23T18:30:00.000-05:00Though I sympathize with someone who has been so cancer-stricken, I think FedEx was within their rights for this case.<BR/><BR/>Jean, was an independent contractor, who essentially owned her own unreliable business; she was self-employed. Fedex had time sensitive packages to deliver, and she couldn't deliver them. <BR/><BR/>She knew when she became an independent contractor that Fedex would be her client, not her employer. Every independent contractor also is aware that he/she can be terminated at anytime and that there are no guarantees.<BR/><BR/>She's playing the sympathy card here in hopes of hitting it big with a lawsuit, when indeed she has no real legitimate claim.<BR/><BR/>The real PR nightmare is the Wal-Mart story that came out a few weeks back.Jacob Johansenhttp://www.disgruntles.comnoreply@blogger.com
