purple promise performance payout?

[MrFedEx]

From reading here your peak was a cluster no matter who's at fault that can't help payouts.

Payouts have been poor for years, even when profits were quite healthy. Instead of this joke of an "incentive", we used to get profit-sharing, which was a substantial amount, and directly tied to the profitability of Express. Bringing it back, and killing crap like the Purple Promise would help somewhat, but what you can't seem to understand is that our basic compensation system is laughable. Motivating people who are severely underpaid and then have to pay through the nose for an incredibly expensive "benefits" program is almost impossible. Morale really couldn't be much lower. This has a direct tie-in with customer service and productivity.

Yup.

I haven't seen a such a thing on the Ground side.
Maybe it's why our raises are on time and don't suck? lol

Well, for now.

The payout, from what someone said, is a way for accounting to get under the next tax bracket or however he explained it. Whatever it takes to get themselves under, they payout to the employee. You probably should only think of it as creative accounting. Nothing else.

Profit-sharing was also creative accounting, but we at least got something meaningful out of the deal.

Crap payout. We once had a SM so excited, guess they got their bonus at the same time PPP came out, he was so happy he could buy some new furniture. Really???

They view us as children, and our "rewards" resemble those given to little kids. Knick-knacks, nodders, lunch bags and drink holders, all worth 25 cents and with a big "FedEx" logo somewhere on them. OR, you can have a 2 cent sheet of paper that says Bravo Zulu on it. In the meantime, Fred and Friends make millions.

Where I work, we call it the Brown Promise because it's full of !
