[QUOTE="quadro, post: 803574, member: 12850"] Such as #16 Wear pointy aluminum foil hat Ok, I know that's an exaggeration but in response to #1 and #2, most managers don't make that much money and certainly don't have any different retirement plan than all hourly employees. #7 I know a few employees who have been out for at least a couple of years and they are just the ones that I know locally. I have no idea how many there are nationwide. #8 Working on my taxes and my family spent about $8k in medical costs this year. FedEx paid the rest of the approximately $90k. I didn't have to fight for 99% of that. And that $90k is the negotiated amount. The billed amount would have been closer to $150k. My situation, I'm guessing, isn't the normal for most people although I'm sure there are plenty out there that are similar. Some paid less and some paid more. The point is that I'd rather have FedEx pay $82k for me than a few dollars more an hour to me. Would I like both? Absolutely but I'm not naive enough to think that's going to happen. It's a group plan so thanks to all of you who didn't get sick and gave up a few dollars so my family could get the medical treatment needed. And I'm very sincere when I say that. I realize the hardship people go through when they are trying to swim upstream through the pay scale. [/QUOTE]
