That's a very sophomoric way of looking at things. It's "everybody else's fault" again isn't it? "If only they would all do as I say." I know you believe highly in your worth, but did it ever occur to you that maybe your contractor doesn't share that same view of you? Maybe he's more than content to see you go just as soon as that old job of yours finally calls you back for good. Maybe he's "just not that into you".
Typical response bbsam. You may call it sophmoric however its the truth. Its not that I believe so highly in my worth its about whats right. We all work well over a 40 hour week and it is truly sad that we cannot afford a decent living doing so, delivering the packages of a billion dollar Company.
It doesn't matter if I work 50, 60, or 70 hours a week I get paid salary for a 40 hour week, unless there is a holiday then I get paid for 32 hours even though I will still work 40 hours in those 4 days.
FedEx prides themselves on being they cheaper shipper, but are the really, when these same companies that ship through us are paying into all the government funding that FedEx does not, via IC's. How do you think your big accounts would feel if they new they were subsidizing their delivery drivers income. Maybe this is a new idea that the sales people at UPS could use to their advantage.
I am pretty sure it would bother the average american that they pay to subsidize a billion dollar companies Ground workforce. Just ask anyone.
