[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1072944, member: 12508"] We are underpaid, because to hit 80 you're working 6 days a week and every second of OT you can get. Nobody mid-range or below would ever get close to even 70. The Ground driver is lucky if they hit half our top-out, and they get zero OT in most cases. The flat-rated salary drivers are the worst part of it. Ground is what it is, and it's a scam. It's similar to a pyramid scheme in that only the very top people on the pyramid make any money...FedEx and the ISPs. Everyone else gets the crumbs. The [B]only [/B]reason Ground is competitive is because it's low-wage structure allows for price-undercutting the competition. That's it. It isn't good management, breakthrough technology, or anything else. And now, Fred is allowing Ground to consume another FedEx opco...because he can and wants to because it is so much more profitable. The windfall profits he reaps off the scam allow him to re-invest the profits to increase it's size. Witness the explosion of new Ground facilities. As long as it remains legal and the drivers are "non-employees", the math works for Fred and the contractors. I can hardly wait until Ground falls apart...and it will eventually. In the meantime, bbsam and STXFOPGRP whatever are laughing their way to the bank, which is their payoff for making it all look "legitimate". What a crock of crap. [/QUOTE]
