[QUOTE="El Morado Diablo, post: 1437936, member: 40760"] I agree there are couriers out there who don't pull their weight, either by choice or lack of ability. Every station has at least one of them. This isn't unique to FedEx and to suggest pay would increase for everyone else if we could just get rid of these under-performers simply isn't true. Our station(s) have had multiple lawsuits filed against FedEx after employee terminations. They were filed by managers and hourly employees. One of the things we learned when FedEx Legal paid us a visit was that employee reviews were eliminated because fired employees were using them against FedEx in court. It's one thing to terminate someone for a crime, or falsifying, safety, etc.. It's another to terminate them for performance when they have years of positive reviews. If FedEx wants a higher quality workforce they are going to have to do what every other business out there has to do -- pay for it. That's the only way you are going to attract the right people. You can lump the people we have coming in now into two groups. The first are those who've been working minimum wage jobs and are happy to make our starting wage even if it's part-time. The second are those who get a look at how we are run and see they have no hope of moving up the pay scale no matter how great an employee they are so they leave as soon as they can. [/QUOTE]
