No Raise this Year?

[vantexan]

You have a wife who works. I said you could survive on that wage if you live in a car and aren't married.

Depends on where you live. And I pay for everything but groceries and she on occasion needs help with that.

Anybody having the responsibility of driving a company vehicle, should be making minimum 28dollars/hr.

For a job with the same basic requirements as a pizza dude?

They at least do an aptitude test, physical, and background check at FedEx. Try that at Dominoes.

Based on some of their new hires they must have relaxed/lowered their standards.

Dominoes? Yep, their pizza is crap.

How many times a day do you kick yourself for throwing away your golden opportunity?

 

[MrFedEx]

Criminal??? There are better paying jobs. My advice to anyone who is that worked up over it is to quit and get a better job.

Oh, but FedEx has "industry leading wages and benefits", don't they? Elroy makes an excellent point about wage progression, which you conveniently ignore as usual. What about you? Being an Ops Manager (supposedly) is one of the biggest loser jobs that exist.

Anyone who is any good leaves, and FedEx gets the deformed rejects that can't get hired into management anywhere else. Like you.

...yet the envelopes still get delivered (mostly) on time...

I don't any more. I'm PT, and make much more in my second job and through income properties. I do quite well.

Not really. A lot of them don't even make it on the outbound aircraft lately, so how could they be on time?

There is a local liquor store for sale. $109K including inventory. Good location. I know the owner and if I were closer to retirement I might pull the trigger.

So robbing liquor stores is your plan?

I thought you might want some hooch while sitting in your shack.

If you dare go to Google Images and look up Novi Sad, Serbia. Varna, Bulgaria. Cluj, Romania. Ohrid, Macedonia. Dubrovnik, Croatia. All much more affordable than the U.S. and very livable. And there's many more. You don't have a clue.

I spent a year so, yeah, I do have a clue.
