Pizza Hut is your competition. I'll bet they probably pay more than you do.

For me, a 6 percent raise will be about $1 an hour more. After one year, I'm ok with it. But I share the anger of veterans getting just 3 percent. Makes no sense. They should be getting as much as or more than me.
I'm interested in seeing how the proposed step increase system will go.
No, no. We've been over this before. You can organize, it's a lot of hard work with significant risk so you just won't. You want someone else to do the heavy lifting and pave the way for you while you reap the rewards.
Der,der koolaid. No. It's just fun to goof on people here who talk a big game, but when push comes to shove, will just keep on trucking and hating their jobs. I for one am happy with my compensation and the fact that the company is funding most of my education costs.
Husky. HaIs Craftsman stamped on your forehead, or is it Snap-On? Glad you're happy as a tool.
We all do the same job, whether you're new, midrange or a topped out employee. We should all make the same amount. I can see a period of 3-4 years to get to top rate but 10 is stupidity.I had a non-productive argument with a topped-out employee yesterday and him telling me that he is more "valuable" and is "entitled" to having the 6% like the rest of us. I blew my top and countered him that we are all dispensable and his "entitlements" are a Grimm fairytale. Like most of us mid-range minions, we end up doing all the stops that the noobs and topped-outs can't or won't do.
I don't feel expected to get any type of raise every year, though having a 6% raise is nice.
We all do have basically the same job but how each of us perform is another matter. I disagree that we all should be paid the same. I think it's absolutely comical that there are topped out couriers thinking they should get a 6% raise also. I've been at Fedex almost 13 years and this is the first time in 8 or 9 years that the gap between top of range and me hasn't increased. The top of range employees have always had it better. Not because they have earned it but because they were fortunate to be hired when they were.We all do the same job, whether you're new, midrange or a topped out employee.

The company continues it's divide an conquer techniques. Turn the employees against each other and you'll never see a union at this place. Unfortunately, most people just don't get it.
Hey, I don't like it any more than you do and it annoys me to no end when a topped out employee goes off because you complained about wages and their response is you have to put in your time like they did. It isn't fair they got to top out in 14 months while there are those of us who have put in more than a decade and haven't even sniffed top out but this is exactly what FedEx wants.We all do have basically the same job but how each of us perform is another matter.

Hey, here you are, right on cue. I'll believe any raise when I see it on my check, and there will be a whole bunch of conditions and exceptions so most people never see that much. Care to disagree, tool?
As usual, you're trying to deflect from the fact that there is never anything given without an accompanying takeaway. While I agree it's a piddling amount, the very fact that they took it speaks volumes about how effing cheap they are.
Dano's participation in this thread comes as no surprise. Everytime they screw the employees and there's rebellion here comes the shill right on cue.
Nice try at muddying the waters once again. Typical ill-approach that Memphis tells you to use. They say "jump Dano" and you say "how high?"If you would rather have a 3% raise and keep your FPP, contact HR. Maybe they can protect you from having to suffer through a 6% raise.
Dano and CJinx - how brainwashed are you guys? I guess we all already know the answer to that, but still lol? Have you guys ever asked yourselves that question? You guys drink more kool-aid than Jonestown
Hello, Dave. Anyone home in there? We can't organize. That's why we need to rebel.

Show us proof. Otherwise shut up.Don't worry about them. They got theirs, and that's all they cared about as their performance slowly declined.
None of your business.You've been threatening that for 6 years. Plan on doing more than posting about it anytime soon?
Where I come from, $2400 is more than $1450, and part of that $1450 (the FPP) isn't guaranteed. I've looooong advocated for an extra percent in pay increases instead of FPP, but then I know how to work a calculator.
As has been mentioned the true measure of this will come in October when FedEx starts providing medical coverage numbers for next year. Just a guess here but maybe a increase in out of pocket costs of, oh I don't know, $2400. No, probably more. Yeah it's a raise but why does it always feel like you're still not getting ahead.
I've stated plenty of times that the pay at Express sucks. It's not a very well-kept secret.
Here's how the new plan breaks down numerically. Take a courier who makes $40,000 a year after OT, holidays, MAP... His most recent FPP was less than $250 and a 3% raise would give him another $1200. That would give him an increase of around $1450 for the upcoming year.
With a 6% raise and no FPP, the same courier would get an increase of $2400 for the upcoming year.
