[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 922242, member: 24302"] B payscale starts in the mid-$14's and tops out at about $22. You'd think the lowest payscale would mean low local costs but there are plenty of expensive places on the B payscale. If it's a desirable area where people want to live they'll take any available job and FedEx exploits that(what a shock!) And I truly wish it were 22 years. As in that would be a huge improvement. If we got a full raise annually based on the current raise scheme we could easily work 40 years before catching top-out. And that's if we got a full raise every year! That's why I expect our new raise system in March will at least look considerably better on paper, but most likely will be more smoke and mirrors. They have a huge PR problem with current pay system. Anyone who has asked questions knows UPS is a much better deal. So yeah, we'll probably top out faster with the new scheme, but watch out for what comes to pay for that raise. In the end we won't be much better off. Another two-tier problem: mid-range employees make considerably less, but have to pay the same for healthcare. Already affects me. Doctor wanted to schedule an annual diabetes eye exam. Costs $500, I have a $1000 deductible, I said no. I'll have to do without. [/QUOTE]
