[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 736043, member: 24302"] That $70k average is with overtime also. And we aren't asking for UPS pay and benefits. Those of us in mid-range are being asked to settle for less. We have to work overtime to just make what topped out employees make on 40. I have to work 46.5 to equal their 40 after 11.5 years. That's after being told by 2 mgrs in 2 locations after I was rehired that I would top out in 7 to 8 years. Those mgrs and others in other locations were telling newhires the same thing. Say what you will, but about everything I've experienced since being rehired, and quite a bit before I quit, was based on lies, either at the local or the corporate level. This company has no fast track to better pay for couriers who go the extra mile and work hard. I'm not talking about going into management, just being rewarded for doing more and doing it well. Even the little bonus they are giving now...those who topped out years ago, many in as few as two years, will always get a bigger bonus than mid-range employees, many of whom have over 10 years in. The system is a sham. And with the internet FedEx may find it even harder in the future to recruit quality employees. Word gets around. And I wasn't talking about reducing your salary. If you feel we should get over the pension then I'm saying you shouldn't get a bonus. You already get a decent salary, you shouldn't count on that bonus for your future needs. And if a union gets in I'm pretty certain you won't be getting a bonus. It's not about getting big money.
