Apparently it is not Fedex' s intention to provide a living wage ..the sooner people realize that the better off they will be. If you must work at Fedex ,get in,get what you need, and get out..You must have an exit strategy otherwise you could go bankrupt.Especially if you come in parttime.Sorry I know that sounds cynical but it is todays reality.
It's ironic but the ones they'd like to get rid of, the higher paid topped out couriers with 4 or 5 weeks of vacation, are the ones who most likely will hang on at least until they get their full pension. They probably won't give up their higher pay to start over somewhere else.
