[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 840843, member: 24302"] 1. You said, in bold I might add, that there was nothing about the company that I liked. Uh, the company is about picking up/delivering pkgs. Where've you been? 2. I still don't get how you expect to replace what a pension would give you by budgeting accordingly. You are very optimistic about your investments. 3. Why is it a bad choice? I got rehired at $10.86hr. They've been feeding me a little extra every year in raises, if they gave one at all. Where, while maintaining my own household, was the money to replace my income in retirement? Are you saying that if the company lied about providing a full pension it's on me and others who believed all the info they provided year after year about what we would get if we stayed with FedEx? Do you believe in working towards a goal? Is there something wrong with working towards getting a full pension that would greatly help in retirement? They told me I'd top out in 7 to 8 years too. You've remarked numerous times about FedEx practicing good business. Do you believe it's ok to "fudge" the truth to get people to help the company be successful but not reward them for their efforts by just keeping the promises that were made? It's OK to exploit others as long as you do well? Bottom line is you make excuses for them to the point that I can't help but feel you have a vested interest in doing so. But don't worry about me. I got just enough of a pension to move to South America in 5 years. I also know of a job in south Texas where I can make $50k a year while my pension checks go in the bank, which I'll probably do for awhile to make up for the lack of a full pension.
