[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 3059615, member: 24302"] Starting pay was to attract new hires. Raising top out looked to be appeasing experienced senior couriers to keep them from leaving. They needed to hold it all together while they built Ground. That was more important than making midrange employees happy. They were willing to churn through lower paid employees rather than pay everyone better. But turnover was becoming a make or break issue. Ground is capable now of maintaining it's own growth. Top pay is high enough now to give new hires something to work towards. Their priority is still profit and they are about as generous with the new plan as they're ever going to be. Expecting them to give that much to midrange employees to top them out in a halfway reasonable time and still raise starting and top pay annually is really wishful thinking. I might be wrong and hope I am. But there's no reason for them to print up a new pay chart because I'm certain it will be the same as last year's chart. [/QUOTE]
