[QUOTE="Sniper, post: 1197959, member: 48816"] I work out of East Tennessee and deliver in SW Virginia, Christmas tree country. The only decent career here is Eastman and like FedEx it is not the same company it was 20 years ago. Top out is $22.57 at our market level here. With the exception of Eastman there is no where within 100 miles, (if not more) I could make that wage and have the seniority and vacation time I have here. I never even considered Eastman I just don't care for mixing chemicals and being stuck inside every day. I do enjoy my job because every day at FedEx is a different adventure. I'm not sitting at the same desk or control panel mixing chemicals day in and day out. I have never wanted to be stuck behind a desk at any of my previous jobs or this one...I enjoy what I do. Like most sometimes the BS gets aggravating but as long as FedEx signs my check I do what they ask of me. In a perfect FedEx world I wish our pay was closer to what UPS makes but I'm the first to say those guys work a LOT harder than I do. I have heard horror stories of how the managers talk to them. I envy their pension but they earn every nickel of it. [/QUOTE]
