I'm wondering too if they are just moving some stations to the A payscale. People on here have heard this from SM's and DM's, and a former coworker told me their DM said they were moving to A. But not a peep from our mgr's here, they haven't heard a thing. Makes me wonder if they think pay is fine here as there's very little turnover and rent is pretty reasonable.Has anyone heard anything new about this? I heard a few guys at work talking about it. Are they getting rid of it or just moving some stations away from it to a higher market level?

Turnover here is high and we never have enough staff even though they hire like crazy. Most part timers end up finding other jobs. They told us last year that the pay scale was based on whether or not people could go get other jobs near what fedex is paying locally. So if fedex started at $15 an hour, could someone go get a job elsewhere making that much because our rent here is the same as the market an hour away from here, but they make $2 more an hour.

And of course A is still the 2nd lowest of 7 payscales.One of our local stations just got moved from a "B" to an "A" after over 20 years of controversy. This station was located very close to 2 "A" stations, and the cost of living was pretty much the same. Huge turnover, and many transfers to the other 2 stations.
Turnover is still high, but not as bad, but Fred saved himself huge money by screwing these folks for 20 years. Please remember that even if you're at an "A" station, it isn't like you're making bank. We're still way behind in terms of COLA and equity with our main competitor. Add-in our "industry leading benefits", and that gap becomes a canyon.

Anything new on this?
Same here, nothing. We have high turnover though.NOTHING! SM mentioned it months ago, but crickets since. Fellow employees keep mentioning it, I just tell them it ain't gonna happen. Courier who lives in my neighborhood, but works at another station is one level above us. Same cost of living, but they have much more turn over.
