[QUOTE="El Morado Diablo, post: 1205428, member: 40760"] They never mentioned any kind of premium to us. They were so desperate at times that they asked for volunteers to go work in those locations for a week or two at a time. No one in our station took them up on it because we aren't in the same state. We did have an employee transfer in from one of those locations. The courier confirmed that they had a very difficult time retaining people due to the low wages. It's silly to pay higher wages in NY and SF because the COL is so high while paying lower wages in these locations with similar problems. Our station is in an area in which home prices and the COL have shot up due to people leaving the metropolitan areas. The median home price is $245,000 or so and we are considered the lowest market level. We've had plenty of turnover and the stations nearest to us are a market level higher -- with a lower COL (including home prices). I once asked our HR rep why FedEx didn't just bump all the lower markets up to the mid-market level. He looked at me like I had a third eye in my head. [/QUOTE]
