[QUOTE="quadro, post: 772242, member: 12850"] Yes a long-term manager in a major market is making good money but so is a long-term courier in that same market, as compared to others in the same job in other markets. I know a manager in a major market who has over 30 years in and is not making 100K and it's not because they just became a manager. They've been a manager for the majority of their career. A buyout for hourlies isn't likely to ever happen as long as you are not overstaffed. Doesn't necessarily have anything to do with a union. Look how many times you've heard "hiring freeze" at Express. Whether you agree with it or not, it does help from being overstaffed. Generally companies that have seen significant downturns in business (i.e. GM, Chrysler) end up in a situation where a mass buyout may make sense. I would hope that FedEx is never in a position to offer a buyout as it would mean business is way down or hiring hasn't been controlled in the first place. Either situation isn't good. I appreciate that you have a broad network of friends/acquaintances but I would guess that's still a very small percentage of all employees. Small enough to make your sweeping statements opinions and not fact. Which is exactly the same for me. As for being pressured to falsify, I'm sorry but I just don't buy it. Anyone that falsifies deserves what they get. This job is not that difficult and I say that not from my perspective but just look at any new couriers in your station. Some struggle but most don't take that long to get up to speed. So if it's the second and third string couriers that are falsifying, well they are probably in the wrong job to begin with. [/QUOTE]
