[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 779214, member: 24302"] Most likely FedEx will raise starting pay to attract newhires and leave the rest where they are at paywise. As more get disgusted and leave they'll get replaced with cheaper employees. So FedEx comes out ahead. Maybe the investment in powerpads and the ROADS system was just for this outcome, that experienced employees would quit over pay and newhires could get up to speed quickly with the simplified systems. As the newhires get some time in they'll come to 2 conclusions. Either accept a low paid future or quit. Either way FedEx wins. And the older couriers deciding to take their pensions will be replaced with cheaper couriers with the difference in pay helping to pay for those pensions. Over time there will be smaller and smaller pensions to where the company comes out ahead when a courier retires, especially if they can string along people forever on reaching top-out. It's all pretty diabolical when you consider that people were assigned to develop this, present it to management in meetings, and get it approved with most likely a lot of back slapping and hearty handshakes. If anyone is convinced that FedEx is going to come through with big raises eventually, just hang in there, you are probably kidding yourself. [/QUOTE]
