While I may not agree with you on many issues, I do understand the points you are trying to make and I can understand why you make those points. However, this post is just wrong. I specifically said that whether you are paid what you feel you are worth is a different discussion. While you are on the clock and being paid, your employer, any employer, not just FedEx, has a right to dictate how you perform that task. You are not required to take whatever your company offers as you are free to seek other employment. Whether that is practical, right, just, moral, ethical, or whatever, is again another discussion.
By your logic, if you need your refrigerator fixed and I'm the repairman that you call out, I can sit on your couch and drink your beer while you pay me less than I think I'm worth and I'll get to your fridge when I'm damn well good and ready. It doesn't work that way. You are paying me to do a job and you expect me to do it right and in as an efficient manner as possible.
If you want to sit on your ass and go at your own pace while working at Express, please don't whine when you are written up for not performing. You know what is expected of you and you know how much you're getting paid to meet those expectations. And once again, just for clarity, whether that wage is what you feel you are worth is not what this discussion is about.
