[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 754477, member: 24302"] Yeah I read what I write. Apparently you missed the memo. FedEx did say in writing that topped out employees get 3% as long as as they get a 5 on their review. Apparently they reserved the right to not give a raise, or to reduce raises. But if they never said as much, why did they give topped out employees 3% annual raises until 2009? Are you saying that was just chance, or did they have a pay system in place? Show me where I've been wrong in previous posts? It's not about blind hatred bub. It's about demanding a deal similar to the one you take for granted. And from your writings it appears if it takes 20, 25, 30 years to catch top pay that's fine by you. After all most of us screw around on the clock, really don't deserve any better. You've said as much, sometimes explicitly, sometimes implicitly. Thanks for the financial advice. I sock away what I can every week and want better pay so that I can save more to make up as much as possible with the termination of the traditional pension. Tell me something, if one starts at $10.85hr, gets fed a little bit more each year, some years no raise or a partial one, healthcare goes up each year, inflation goes up each year, some years significantly, how does one save as much as someone like you? Topped out employees on my lowest payscale grossed on 40 hrs a week at least $100k more than I have in the last 11.5 years. And once again, just using my situation as an example so stop with the blame game. Many thousands are in the same boat. And again I'm willing to work X amount of years to get to better pay but 20? 25? 30? So is it my personal failings that you seem to delight in suggesting or is the system rigged for those of us in mid-range? And finally, since you have 25+ years in, you topped out in 2 years. Do I think I deserve as much as you after 11.5 years? Absolutely. And if I was consistently tops in productivity in most of the stations I worked in then I believe I should be fast tracked to much better pay. FedEx claims pay is based on performance. If you give a top performer a $2hr raise for working extra hard, wouldn't that be a better incentive to others to work harder or accept small raises if they don't?
