[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 859594, member: 24302"] There were originally 4 payscales, A, B, C, and D. Over time FedEx realized some areas needed higher pay to attract workers. They added the E, friend, H, J, and L payscales, with E above A and L the highest. Don't know why they didn't rearrange letters, but that's how they did it. Eventually they decided that the C and D didn't pay enough and dropped them. I was on the C payscale when I quit. When I transferred there I dropped to $13.11 as a topped out employee, got the .39 cent raise to $13.50 not long before I quit. Pointed out here before that my current $17.64 was worth $12.77 in '98 so in terms of purchasing power I'm not making as much as I did in '97. You think I'm complaining now, you should've heard topped out employees in '96 and '97. Turns out there was a union scare back then that encouraged FedEx to come through with some decent raises for topped out employees. They however have decided that mid-range employees will be kept down and have worked it out to where a union threat is very unlikely due to lobbying and obtaining special consideration from Congress.
