Virescit Vulnere Virtus
Our station was one of those which got the 15% temporary raise. We still lost a couple of people during the time it was in effect. Our DM paid us a visit during peak and said he couldn't see them taking it away (even though they did just that). This spring we had people telling our SM that they felt insulted that FedEx would pay them more when they really needed them than they would the entire year. The meeting got a little ugly. The SM tried to play it off by saying it was too bad there wasn't a mechanism to increase pay for everyone. That really caused an uproar since our station is in the lowest market level.
The usual BS, blah, blah, blah.
