[QUOTE="slowdriver, post: 1974218, member: 58852"] This is somewhat of a to whom it may concern type post, not directed at anyone... I just want to commend fedex for coming around on the pay raise situation on the express side, watching topped out drivers doing the same thing as me for more than a decade really dragged down my moral, the unbeatable retirement (Vanguard 401k + pension) was the only thing that kept me around, waiting, and hoping. It wasn't just me though, but company wide, a lot of employees had the feeling of not caring anymore, I saw it first hand as I've visited different stations over the years. Henry ford, had the right idea to pay his employees more than market level, because he could expect more in return, a win win situation. No one wants to lose a good paying job, they could be proud of. I remember when I first started back in 2003, most of my coworkers worked very hard to get the job done, because the pay + benefits, where exceptional, I watched that moral gradually decline, until recently, and it seems people are beginning to care again, especially now during peak, people are going above and beyond, and doing whatever it takes to get the job done, just like when I first started at fedex. I hope the planned, pay scale remains in effect, because the productivity and moral will continue to rise as the pay does, and I also hope this planned pay scale isn't reneged on, because the shock of taking it away, combined with taking away any hope of making decent money, and retiring reasonably well, may be taking away the last and only thing keeping people here...
