[QUOTE="Serf, post: 1265891, member: 50254"] Sad but true. I find it bizarre that the guys I talk with that came in before 1999 are all topped out. The guys shortly that after are all in the 23 to 24 and change range. And the guys in the last 5 years are all $1.00 within what they were hired in at ($17.22) In my experience, I have not seen anything close to this. Pathetic? Perhaps. Unfair? OK. I am just mesmerized by the audacity. In the service you even get mandatory promotions and raises in your first 4 ranks, a longevity bonus after 2 years "time in grade". At the railroad which had a quasi union. You still went from $18 to $25.00 over the course of 4 years. And were paid for 40 hours, even if you didn't work 40 that week. At the prison I worked at; salary increases over the course over 30 months. Just to pale in comparison. IF FedEx turns a profit in the fiscal quarter or year you get a flat 2%. Just by that math alone, that's .34 cents a year. Assuming you even got the 2% annually it would take 25 years to even sniff top pay. If the company withheld raises for any period of time, you wipe out that possibility entirely. But it doesn't really matter any way. Because the cost of living and inflation are much higher than the 2% you get. [/QUOTE]
