Express Pay Increase?

[McFeely]

They still haven’t even announced/mentioned the pay actions at my station.

 

[!Retired!]

I saw a lot of people on Facebook a few minutes ago saying their management told them that. A 3% bonus, not raise.

Is this the same management team that told them we'd all get a 2-3 step raise?

They didn't make an official announcement at ours because they knew it would piss off the topped out people. They just posted a copy of the step chart and a small announcement next to it.

Be sure and let your next job know what time is convenient for you for the interview process and what are the best work hours to suit your needs. I am sure they want to make it is easy on you as possible.

My manager skipped most of the info and fumbled through the rest of it. If it had been a presentation in a speech class it would have been lucky to earn a D-.

Same here. Just the step chart.

Why did Fedex stop with payscale?

They never really started.

Raising wages hurts their profits.

Hey, shareholders are only getting 75 cents per share after the manager bonuses and step raises.

 

[fdxsux]

Raising wages hurts their profits.

Once was the day they believed treating their employees well actually increased profits. They also cared about service back then. Their philosophy has changed.

The company managed to not "do the right thing" with RTDs with this new pay plan. They are not getting a step up on the old plan before being moved over to the new progression plan. So in essence, many RTDs are taking a pay step BACKWARDS on the new plan. People currently on step 3 are going to be on step 2 and people step 4 and 5 will be on step 3. At FedEx Express, the motto is one step forward, one or two steps back.

I was on step 5, going to the new step 3. Having 2 steps till top out is better than the 4 I’d have left at step 6. But I agree they should have moved us up then over to the new plan. Nobody is confident in their willingness to give yearly step raises. They’ve killed that retention tool by not sticking to it. And having ANY steps left till top out isn’t going to cut it for a lot of their decade plus long employees still on low steps. I think the RTD change is about 5 years too late to be honest. Don’t think it’s going to do much in terms of hiring or retaining drivers. Freight is still hiring at $32/hr in my area. And our starting pay just went up to $23.05. Almost $9 behind our other CDL branch lol. And I’ve still got 2 steps to go, which will probably take 5+ years to get.

Wow. So its the old shell game. Instead of giving you guys an increase like most everyone else (except us topouts) they put you on a new program with the same pay?

To save the money for the company and its shareholders.

i think what we are seeing predictive to the future. Unskilled labor will have less and less bargining power

Express is being phased out ie final mile, 10 step, 20 step, 5 step all the same.

Wonder how many SPH is achievable.

 

[ExizFed]

Wonder how many SPH is achievable.

Speculating here, do you think it'll be able to handle bulk deliveries or are humans going to have to handle that?

Thats all fine and good, but Fedex cant even get a mapping program or handheld device to reliably work. I can only imagine how they could mess this thing up. They'll have robots trying to bring the house to the package! The wrong house. To the wrong package.
