[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1094630, member: 24302"] There were originally 4 payscales and over time the lowest 2 of those 4 were discontinued while higher paying payscales were added. FedEx has a philosophy of paying the minimum amount possible that will still attract workers. Thus in extremely expensive regions of the country where everyone has to be paid more they pay more. In cheaper areas of the country they tend to pay the lowest 2 payscales. Which one they pay depends on how competitive the local market is for workers. There are glaring exceptions. In expensive popular small cities in the Southwest and Rockies they tend to pay the lower payscales because there are people in those areas who'd gladly take anything just to live there. And FedEx no longer eliminates lower paying payscales as they've discovered that they can save money by just raising starting pay rather than move everyone on that payscale up to the next one. Thus you have people working 5 years who barely make more than newhires. And on the lowest payscale you have people like me making only $18hr or so after 14 years. [/QUOTE]
