[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1074067, member: 24302"] It's that three years to top pay that makes me envious. I remember topped out couriers grumbling about their pay more than ten years ago and at $18.17 after 14 years I don't make what they were making then. I've gone the extra mile many, many times for FedEx but I guess for me a pat on the head is supposed to be sufficient. Making someone work next to others who make enough to have a life while they struggle is just cruel. And I did have a bracelet on my ankle, it was called the traditional pension. Stayed for it and by the time they took it away the economy was tanking and so did my health. Can't leave because of the economy and to keep my DOT card I have to see a doctor regular and most of that comes out of my underpaid pocket because like everything else FedEx is putting more on us while taking more away. I've figured out that I can save more a month on my small pension living overseas than working fulltime for FedEx. And got to love FedEx management. Was told I'd be working a 5X8 schedule, not the 4X10 cover driver that they really wanted in an area where getting a full 40 is tough. Got 38.5-39 hrs a week the 5 weeks before the week after Thanksgiving. I moved up here to be near family and figured to get 41+ most weeks and if Ground keeps taking freight it'll be all I can do to get by on 35-37 hrs soon. So couldn't save much because I'm not topped out and can't save hardly anything now. If they offer a buyout I'll take it. These 4X10's will soon have to be restructured into 5X8's because we'll be getting the guarantee soon and we all know how FedEx feels about giving free money away. But if they bought me out they'd have 5 people in this area instead of 6 and could structure the rts as 5X8's getting close to 40. I hope they're able to see this as I'm the most senior who wants a buyout(and the only one willing to take it)out of the 6 in that area and I'd be more than willing to take it and go. [/QUOTE]
