You are the one missing the point. Nobody is asking for $32 an hour right now.Shi t, we can't even get a 3% cola raise right now when the stock is over $100. If you think they are going to pay us any more than we get now without representation you are only fooling yourself. They don't plan on topping out anyone in the future. It's been said by management. I think someone got to you and now you are scared from the lies and propaganda that was told to you. You gotta stop being a blind sheep and realize there is strength in numbers and we can get a better deal for ourselves. Ever since I started with this company, it's been doom and gloom. The company is hurting, we need you to work harder for less. Bs. This company even when the economy was in the tank was turning a profit. I for one never was a sheep and never will be.
We're all proud of you. Tell me what the stock price has to do with your pay? The price reflects a belief that FedEx will provide a bigger dividend per share in the future because Fred S has said they are going to almost double profits by 2016. Part of the way they are going to do that is reducing overhead. And Ground's growth will provide much of it. I've already pointed out what a better deal would mean if they were willing right now. A little higher top-out and a faster, but not much faster, path to top pay. And your saying no one is asking for $32hr right now is telling. It's why FedEx has done everything they can to keep a union out. Eventually you'll want that higher pay. And it's not fear, it's looking at things realistically instead of pitching a fit and saying I want what I want. It makes no difference to me as I'm approaching the end of the line. Even if you could pull off a union and force much better pay and benefits, by the time you do I wouldn't care anymore. I'm not staying to work for a bunch of lying, cheating lunatics any longer than I have to and soon I won't have to. Good luck with all that, you'll need it.
The stock price has everything to do with profit. Not just potential profit, but present profit as well. There is a direct correlation between the stock price and their ability to increase our pay. You want to continue to make excuses for a company that has money for everything else but pay its workers what they deserve for the hard work and dedication they put in. Does it make sense to pay over $ 600 million to people not to work here anymore and nothing to its frontline workers?You still can't give a legitimate reason as to why they "delayed raises" this year.
