[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 2334313, member: 24302"] What other times? They haven't topped anyone out in a reasonable time in 20 years. October is just around the corner. We'll know then. And they are now talking out loud about a quicker plan. How are they going to keep stringing us along if they don't actually follow through? You need to realize it's not about those of us who've been around awhile. They have no future if they can't give the young adults a reason to stay. Turnover is too high and word is out with the twentysomethings that it's a raw deal. These are people who are glued to their smartphones all day long. FedEx has to do better, and now that fuel prices are down, and look to be for a long time, profits are up and they can pay better. I've pointed out many times our generation of couriers got screwed, but with the great recession and a lackluster recovery there was little we could do about it. But FedEx can only get away with it for so long, and they have to be competitive to attract new people. The days of 20+ years employees covering for them is fast coming to an end with retirements. They need new blood and this time it'll cost them. [/QUOTE]
