When it comes to DHL?

The company just grew too large too fast and was having problems with their customer service.  There were so many customer complaints coming in about DHL that most customers had contracts and could not wait for their contract was up so they could go with UPS.  I was very, very thankful my husband was able to get a job with them after 9/11.  My family went through that recession with my husband being unemployed for a total of 6 months.  He was unemployed for 3 months and then found a job for 3 months and then unemployed for 3 months and then hired with DHL.  

The company worked employees to DEATH, literally for a few, but yet thankful they all had jobs.  Then the employees started seeing the writing on the wall and started leaving back in 2005-2006.  That is when the booming of housing was going on and when the stock market was at a high and people were actually doing very well.  YES, EMPLOYEES LEAVING DURING THAT GREAT TIME.  

Besides, the company is not AMERICAN OWNED.  It is from Germany.  That would be like C-BAY taking over medical transcription companies in the US (which they already are) and being a large company in the US and growing to fast.  Then they were not doing well with their customers and then having to let go of employees because of not being profitable.  The company did it to themselves.  So many in the company saw it coming.  A lot of employees left JUST BEFORE their 10 year mark which included a lot of good benefits.  Employees did not want to wait around to find out about what is now coming, BIG LAYOFFS, and a lot of them looking for jobs at once. 

DHL bought out Airborne.  How said that was for Airborne.  A lot of employees moved from Seattle area to Snotsdale (Scottsdale) and now look at them?  They bought homes that cost too much and now worth 100-200 thousand less than what they bought their house for and now no job with DHL in Arizona because of layoff.  That is DHL for ya, foreign owned.
