Many of my peers and I feel this is inappropriate. We do not know the total millions of dollars FedEx Corporation pays Ketchum annually for the valuable and important
work your company does for us around the globe. We are confident however, it is enough to expect a greater level of respect and awareness from someone in your position
as a vice president at a major global player in your industry. A hazard of social networking is people will read
what you write.
