[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 821290, member: 24302"] Actually I had over 11 years in the first go round, over 12 now. Assuming they give us raises every year I'll break $20hr 17 years after being rehired. I don't think you guys realize how hard it is to make headway on the lowest payscale. I'll also be taking a huge hit next review due to having to take all my sick days with the angioplasty. I have to ask, what is the single biggest group at either UPS or FedEx? Drivers/couriers. By far. Point being that handlers wanting to become drivers at UPS are trying to break into a much larger group. And UPS is projecting the need for many thousands of new drivers to replace retirees. Once in it's 3 well paid years to max pay with great benefits. All I'm asking for is accelerating us to our top-out in a reasonable time. Whatever advantage we may have up front gets quickly blown away and well worth the wait to become a UPS driver. We can watch Frontline videos all we want touting how admired the company is and how much they care, if they don't open the purse strings soon they'll have alot of very unhappy, disgruntled people looking for an exit. So yes, if you are trying to convince a prospective employee FedEx is the way to go then you are spreading disinformation in my book. By the way, I withdrew from a job posting 2 weeks ago due to extremely expensive housing in that area(on the lowest payscale of course). Unfortunately I had never withdrawn after accepting an offer letter before and didn't know the consequences. My mgr said there may be a time penalty involved but claimed he didn't know what it was. After I withdrew he then told me sorry, company policy, can't apply for anything for a year. And of course another position came open that would've put me near my mom and sister, higher payscale too. Nope, wouldn't verify it and HR backed him up. This is the guy who lied about schedule and duties to get me to transfer here. So let's see, I'm diabetic, on one year DOT card due to high blood pressure, on 6 different meds, nearly died in January due to a 99% clogged artery.
