No Raise this Year?

[Preventable]

This morning I found out everyone is getting 3% this year including topped out people. The step plan in coming in, and he will share the chart for our station in early September (This is probably the thing they are find the right spin for). Also number of market levels is being reduced, yay!, I guess since I am on the bottom market level this is going to be another mini raise?

Edit: I don't really want to reveal too much about the station because it sounds like my manager let the cat out of the bag too early? How can you guys not know, this information was passed on before our planes were even there.

Going from 7 market levels to 5. At least a 3% raise for everybody but our manager said it wouldn't be announced until conference call this afternoon

 

[Elroy Shabazz]

The gap is getting bigger again. Im going back to tending bar. I made 3X what I make as a courier. So sad. It's impossible to plan any kind of future.

I was loafing.

Your manager got online and fixed this for you.

well I'm in the lowest market level so even if we go up one level, it's $1.26 extra plus 3% of that could push it closed to $2 more per hour. I'm sure people will still complain but if this happens, it's better than nothing. most jobs give you a few cents a couple times a year

It's BS if true after talking up the step progression BS for the past year and a half.

Exactly what is your beef? Not being snarky, trying to understand what you were expecting.

I dropped a $1.14 going from A to B. If I get that back plus a decent raise I'll stick around until bills are paid.

That's rich. You asking me what my beef is. The biggest complainer on this site. My beef is if our raise is only 3%.

 

[BootsOnTarmac]

All get 3%. 7I and above get a bump per the step plan. When I see it on my paycheck I will believe it.

they moved you down a market? that sucks man.

 

[LazyFreddy]

Someone post the memo or chart or its all bs. You all just think you know.

I love when they say stuff like 7I and above, what is 7I

Heard from my manager recently(who has been a pretty reliable source) that the raise in oct will be 3% for topped out couriers, 3% for courier making the minimum, and 6% for everyone in bw.

But as we all know, seeing is believing.

Apparently everybody gets 3percent. If after the 3 percent you are in between steps (most people will be), then you will be bumped up to the next step. They are reducing the number of market levels to 5. They didn't say which ones they were eliminating. My manager also said they are getting rid of premiums but are supposed to build them into the payscales.

What premiums?

Anybody that has worked at FedEx for a while and isn't topped out should have a beef. How can you even ask that question?

I saw the printout, everyone is getting 3% at a minimum. Top and bottom is getting raised by 3%. If your in a the middle of a step after the 3% you will get bumped up to the next step, even just one cent over. So some are getting screwed bexuase you will land right on a step and get only 3% and others will be just above a step and get bumped up to the next one and get a much bigger raise. They are reducing the amount of market levels AND pay codes (job codes such as handler and csa and whatnot). The handout for that along with the current step system will be available in about 2 weeks.

Gee...that's just friend-ing great, a vast majority of employees will see a 3% raise and a small sliver of a bump, and just fall further back in the race to get topped out.

In other words a majority of mid range employees will see a smaller % raise this year than they did last year.

People-service-profit baby!!!
