So new couriers get the minimum EVERY week? Even during peak?

Numbers confuse him. Try drawing in bright colors. Red is good, he likes red.

He's a one in a million colossal Jurassic Fart.. has had top pay for 20-30 years, has amazing manager(s), gets tons of overtime, two "pensions", 6 weeks of vacation, and a brown face.
Have you ever blown out your knee, wrenched your back, needed surgery, etc? Or are those people whining, conniving, useless tuuats?

Hey MFE. Vacation bidding will start soon. You brag that you are all about helping the less fortunate employee. Will you skip your place in live for vacation bidding and go last so all the less senior employees can bid before you? I assume you will since you are always so concerned about new hires and other couriers. Then, since you know how much EVERY coworker makes, you should know their vacation plans. Will go go to each coworker and see if any vacation you bid conflicted with their plans and offer to switch every week you have with any employee that needs 1 of your weeks. You must do this because you are so caring about your coworkers.

Just to reply to Oldfart's denial that I have coworkers getting assistance from the local food bank. Here's some of the maths:
New courier wage $16.60
$16.60 x 35 hours a week x 52 weeks = $30,248 a year
$16.60 x 40 hours a week x 52 weeks = $34,528 a year
To qualify in the counties around here (pretty high cost of living) for the food bank:
Household size of 3: you must make LESS than $37,296 a year.
To top it off, one of these couriers was injured on the job and was out on short-term disability twice in the last year.
You may not give two
s about your coworkers, but I sure as hell do.

STD means full time. So these workers NEVER work more than 40? Chances are very slim that a FT courier NEVER gets overtime.Just to reply to Oldfart's denial that I have coworkers getting assistance from the local food bank. Here's some of the maths:

You said a courier would make more than 20k even if they took the minimum 17.5. You don't have an argument here, you are a 5hit gibbon. You should go ahead and change your handle to that, 5hit gibbon.

Bubba, your dumb asz needs to learn to read. I said they should make 20k UNLESS they only take the 17.5 minimum. You just admitted 1 was full time. Mercy. Take some elementary reading lessons.

You really are so stupid you don't see what's in front of your face. He's not saying he "cares so much" for these people on food assistance. He's saying FedEx has become such a terrible place to work at that employees need assistance to eat. But you have had such an easy ride that you don't get it and never will.

Minimum wage here was probably 1.90 an hr. then. Their income was over 4 times minimum wage. Puts them at close to $30 an hour today. That will buy a nice place

Mcfeely said he was concerned about his coworker and their problems. He should be willing to help a coworker out.

Way to side step the entire conversation and focus on the part that does not matter. Typical trump supporter.

What's your take on the company with a 15 year courier who makes 18.50 an hour
Oldfart
Well-Known Member
No idea if that is correct. I keep my nose out of others money issues. Try taking MFE advice. He tells others how good it is at UPS. Might try changing jobs.

And we have mid rangers stuck below $20/hour. I'd like to see someone buy a house today, on a single income with a $20 or less job.
Point being, you cannot compare the good old days with today. The world has changed.

I AM a ups driver, and 35.50 an hour is much better then what you get. I was simply asking you a question. You have a lot to say about the people that complain. They complain about doing the same job you do for half the pay. So I'd say answer my question, or stop calling people miserable if your not walking in their shoes.
"I keep my nose out of others money issues, but I have no problem calling them miserable if they voice their opinion about it"
