[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 999005, member: 24302"] Depends on what you call living. I get by ok but can't afford to have some of the things I really want. I believe if managers are telling people they'll top out in 7-8 years and don't come through then they are liars, but what can I do about it? If they send me a statement every year estimating my pension payment if I put in 25 years, even give me a choice to stay with the traditional pension or go with the portable pension plan, and don't honor their promises or my choice, then they are liars. But if I take a job knowing they only pay $12hr, or only have a 401k, or don't offer decent healthcare, etc, etc, it's my decision to work under those conditions. If I didn't pursue a degree, or go into mgmt when offered, or don't want to work more than 40 hrs a week, etc then I've greatly limited my financial and employment options. I do believe very profitable companies should reward hard work, and increased profits shouldn't come at the expense or exploitation of employees. Y'all tend to paint all corporations with the same broad brush but I doubt they're all trying to rip off their employees. And even within FedEx I've known mgrs that were very troubled with the company's direction. There aren't any easy answers, and we are on the short end of the stick. [/QUOTE]
