The compassion of others..do they know she makes 100k???????

[!Retired!]

You guys getting worked up over a pyramid scheme the driver and customers came up with.

Plot twist...

The contractor who started the go fund me used his own company to complete the job.

They are also dating.

Can you provide a link to where it says that? It's nowhere in the OP's link.

I should've clarified I'm HD/Ground. All but 2 contractors in our building pays by the day.

The contractor that pays hourly is technically salary. They pay you for 10 hours whether you work 6 hours or 12 hours. Had a driver find that out the hard way when he worked 90 hours during peak and got paid for 60 hours.

The other contractor pays by stop. $1 per stop going out with around 200 stops.

My contractors average pay is $140/day. $120/day in the low end and there's rumor of one driver making $185/day.

Here in California it’s illegal to pay someone a day rate. If you’re not a salaried employee, this resulting in you being paid if you’re there or not, you must be paid hourly including overtime after 8 hours.

What the contractors do to get around that is changing your hourly pay depending on the hours worked, so that you end up with the same daily pay.

Also it’s worth adding, they have incredibly high turnover and quite a number of them, along with OnTrac drivers have ventured over to UPS. Not all have made it but most do quite well. Most actually relish in the idea of being a real employee, something that Ground drivers aren’t.

I agree

Even so...the jealously flows deeply over here.

Isn't that the truth

Even so...the jealously flows deeply over here.

Envy means discontented longing for someone else's advantages. Jealousy means unpleasant suspicion, or apprehension of rivalship. ... Envy is most often used to refer to a covetous feeling toward another person's attributes, possessions, or stature in life. Many people use jealous to mean the same thing.

Thank you for proving my point.

Which of those two words would most closely describe you?

Jealous of what? I’d rather drive a spike through my eye than be forced to work with teamsters.

So you have a pension plan through FedEx then?

I knew it!!

Neither of the above. Just pointing out that the more accurate word is envy, not jealousy. It’s a wordsmith thing.

I don’t work for FedEx.

Not really, union workers are awful. Doing as little work as possible as slowly as possible. That type of work culture just doesn’t do it for me.

It’d be real tough, having union workers who don’t cower in fear of you, huh.

Fear is not a tool I use often in management. It’s not very effective for increasing productivity long term.

Contractors can’t legally subcontract their drivers.

Yes but FedEx subcontracts it’s drivers under its name with its freight.

Go online and apply at UPS and make 100k plus great benefits.

From looking at your posts all you seem to do is overgeneralize. Your statement is right up there with folks who state all black people are criminals.

Unions protect bad workers and encourage a bad work ethic. Union workers are rewarded for seniority not merit. It’s a bad system to work in if you are the type of person that likes to compete based on skill.
