[QUOTE="FedEx2000, post: 736026, member: 13621"] Not necessarily, a G.E.D. will suffice. I don't feel any contempt towards any of my employees whatsoever. That said, there are too many employees that spend more time trying to get out of work rather than just doing their part. The "good" (for lack of a better term) employees get dumped on and eventually get frustrated. Unfortunately it also seems that the ones who barely skate by are also the ones who know how to work the system the best. Some of that is management's fault, but most of the blame falls on the system. It's human nature to go to the people who always say yes and make it happen rather than spend 20 minutes trying to get someone else to take 10 stops. I think that expecting to make anywhere near $70k (Supposed UPS average) without any kind of secondary education, solely on the basis that UPS does, is expecting too much. As far as mgrs settling for their salaries, I completely disagree.....how many managers would stay if they were making less than most of their couriers? None. Why have more responsibility and stress and less pay? Makes no sense. FedEx currently has a 15% compression corridor, meaning that a managers salary will be no less than 15% higher than their highest paid employee, calculated on base pay only...no OT factored in. That corridor might be lessened, but I highly doubt they wouldn't adjust mgr salaries as well. I would agree that there are at least 20% of the couriers that could do it, but why would they if they are making that much more as drivers without the stress? [/QUOTE]
