[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 2896395, member: 24302"] You refuse to acknowledge that midrange employees didn't get the deal you got. You refuse to acknowledge that many of us hung in for the pension, as well as the hope that eventually they'd do better by us. After all, when they got a big union scare in the late '90s they came through for topped out employees. Little did we know that they worked behind the scenes to make sure a union stayed out and that they had no intention to ever pay us as well as the topped out people. Then they pulled the rug out from under us on the pension. At that time the economy was tanking. Where were we supposed to go? What did you care? You were topped out with a good pension. And it's not about hating the work. I transferred to some interesting places. Try living as a domicile in the Rockies working at 7000' to 10000'. Fun job. But couldn't make it there on $13.11hr, two payscales below my station and mgr freely admitted that costs in my area were about 40% higher than at station city. FedEx doesn't take care of their employees. They take advantage. But as you got a good deal getting in early you're oblivious to everything. And you're agreeing with a guy who told us he's a 16 yr old stepson of a FedEx bigwig. Now tells us he went to college full-time while working 60 hr weeks. And you call me a liar! [/QUOTE]
