[QUOTE="El Morado Diablo, post: 1205362, member: 40760"] FedEx is too stubborn to fix those problems. The now defunct Great Basin district had Sun Valley, Jackson Hole, Aspen, Rock Springs, etc.. They had a lot of turnover because they are bottom level markets in FedEx's mind. I asked the District Mgr why they just didn't start out new hires at something closer to $20 an hour. It would make sense that it would stop the turnover, provide better service, they wouldn't have to pay cartage agents, people might actually be able to live in the communities they were working in, etc.. The so-called, "Price of doing business" in certain locations. He kind of smiled and said that they we're looking at doing things like providing employees gas cards so they could afford to drive to work (many lived as far as an hour away). If most jobs make less than our starting wage in a community you can bet FedEx isn't going to throw a dime more than they think they need to in order to attract new hires. Seems short sided and dumb, especially in small locations that aren't going to break the bank if they make as much per hour as the higher markets. [/QUOTE]
