Yes. According to the email I saw, it was a company-wide thing.Ground's got moved to October?

Right...October 2013 to October 2014 is 1 year. There's no 'delay' this year, from what I've been reading.If you add last years 6-month delay to this years 6-month delay, you have a full year without raises, the plan all along. Anyone expecting 5 to 7% needs a straitjacket.
According to the same email, the merit increase factors in any money lost between July and October in the October raise. Short term loss, break even in October of next year, long term gain after that.
oh I see, they moved the raises to October in order to "align all the opcos". How convenient. Naturally they couldn't have retro-paid us for the interim months.
Dirtbags....complete and total dirtbags

I've been thinking this is probably one of those other shoes. Somewhere everyday, there's a guy in finance sipping on his $5 Starbucks asking himself," Why are we giving box monkeys 5 weeks paid vacation? They'll stay put even for 1 weeks vacation. Think of all the wonder money, not to mention the percentage I'll get for coming up with the ideal.....ahhh money". Good thing the kids are grown up eh? Imagine trying to plan vacation time with small kids and their schedules. Would probably need to bring them to work and have them sit in the car til RTB.Personally, I think we're going to see our PB's and floater taken away, followed by a week or two of vacation. After that we'll see pay cuts.
I measure my raises against the cost of living increases and how well FedEx stock is doing. At this point it will take a 15% increase to get me caught up and willing to do anything extra for Fred and his customers.
If that's what you want to believe. Where does it say the company won't postpone further raises? Sounds to me like you counting the chickens before they're hatched.According to the same email, the merit increase factors in any money lost between July and October in the October raise.

If we're talking "suggest" then I think Fred S's telling Wall Street he'll almost double profits by 2016 would be a good indicator of how raises will go. And past record is often a good indicator of future performance.There is no evidence to suggest that any future increases beyond 2014 will be delayed.
You were the one bragging that ground wasn't delaying raises. Now they are, to help make the appearance of more profit and you are still guzzling the kool aid. Both you and bb see that Fred will not simply take from Express but now he is starting to take from his cash cow, Ground. That is your evidence, CJ. It doesn't matter that we are different opco, it all goes into the same pot.There is no evidence to suggest that any future increases beyond 2014 will be delayed.
No, Dano. The 6-month delay (no raise) plus the new 6-month delay (no raise again) = A full year in which no raises happened at all. In other words, Fred created 12 months of "raise-free" life at FedEx. Maybe you need to have a talk with your keepers.

So instead of 12 months between raises, now there are 12 months between raises.
Yes, they're moving Ground raises to October. However, we'll be making more money because of it in the long run because of how we're being comped for the 3 month difference. They didn't take anything away except for the money we would have seen from July through September, which gets shuffled into the October raise.You were the one bragging that ground wasn't delaying raises.
