[QUOTE="xfdxgroundmgmt, post: 916145, member: 39079"] Fedex is a Great Company, however all corporations are not around for you to get rich by! They are to fill a role somewhere and in turn give people jobs, some with nice BIG $$$$$ and some with little $$$$$. It all depends on what you as an individual bring to the table. Now I saw the writing on the wall for myself as my bonus for the year was cut about 3 times ( down to ZERO) and back to about 3% of what it used to be six years earlier. My pension was cut twice, and my 401 and pay also cut. Yes I bitched about it to my co-workers, my boss and his boss. But unless I wanted something to really change I either had to [U]leave [/U]or [U]just grin and bear it[/U]! So as it goes we all make decisions in our life, some are better than others, but you can't blame Fedex Corp. or Fedex Ground for a Ground/ Home Delivery driver not getting paid. When I started as a package handler and 6 trailers for the preload was alot of volume, most people driving the trucks were the contractors themselves. When I left 17 or so years later my old operation (327) was running 30 to 35 plus trailers a day and the building had split. My terminal (336) renamed (station) <---- express term. Was running 40ish trailers each night and had split as well. Now alot of the delivery vans are being driven by drivers. I saw better contractors, and drivers as well as worse ones. I have seen a contractor who sold off half his rout kept a helper was back by noon to 3 depending upon his few pickups, to the guy that came in and asked where his delivery van was.
