[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 2180028, member: 24302"] I realize we're all angry and want to get even with FedEx. But think objectively. FedEx had to literally bribe people to stay through Peak 2 Christmases ago. It came out with a more substantial raise last year and said it will come up with a new pay plan this year. They have to because the old timers they count on are retiring in ever bigger numbers. The twenty something's replacing them have no real sense of loyalty because FedEx has taken away the traditional pension and stretched top out to infinity. There's nothing to work for, no reward for time served. Just working to exist, which leads many of them to look elsewhere. And FedEx is saving billions on fuel which looks to last for many years. If they can't keep enough workers to provide decent service their core business, overnight delivery, is in real trouble. So yeah, I think they mean what they say this time. Do they want to pay more? Hell no! But they have to this time. I doubt they'll do anything special for those who've put in 15+ years and aren't even halfway through the pay range. These are cold hearted, greedy people. But their greed has bit them in the backside, and now they're paying for it. [/QUOTE]
