As an employee of ABX Air then DHL whose last day is tonight, I agree with what you wrote. I was in the business for 8 years. DHL killed themselves with the poor service, lack of training, the way the treated employees, bas management, etc.

I love America. Of course you could never ever do that in Germany, because they have more pro-employee laws regarding this. :D

I feel your pain I used to work at DHFAIL in Oakland Ca i agree with you %100. All the costomers i delivered to during my last weeks said they will NEVER use DHFAIL even if they offered there shitty service for half of what FED X and UPS charges. FUCK DHFAIL!!

They were giving our services away for half price,so how do you make any money if you dont charge enough ,= total fucked up company

It's real simple for me. Any dhl vehicle I see out on the road, I try to run into a telephone pole. It's fun. Try it sometime.

No Faster had I seen a company run into the Ground faster than this! They Fucked AIRBORNE, a Company that had a solid standing in the shipping industry.

FUCK YOU DHL!

Dirt bag Fuckers!!!

conquater, I hear 'ya! I was employed in the brokerage arm of DHL when this big layoff took place in 2003. I cannot tell you how we felt for these fellow employees tossed into the street. I am so glad I left DHL last year. They are a European outfit. What the hell do they care what happens to American employees?!

lol wtf is late breaking?

[wdbreezy]

I'm sorry Eugene - I hope you're able to find work soon. We're in the same boat - my last day was January 4th. Best of luck to you, my friend! Airborne/DHL/ABX - same difference.

I retired from DHL in California in June '07. No one would've guessed that DHL would close it's Domestic shipping doors. Thousands more people un-employed in an already tough job market. "Didn't see that coming"? I guess our first clue should've been how DHL treated their own employees back during the merger with Airborne! It made me sick to think about my co-workers losing their jobs and still see the huge yellow and red banners at every major ball game on TV.
