18 months without a raise

[MAKAVELI]

Exactly. There has been one bump after the program began -- 2017.



You were promised a specific raise to a specific rate and you got it -- early. What makes you think a bump was in the plans for 2018?

They never promised anything. The only thing they promise and del on is playing games with raises. You conveniently omit the fact that topped out got screwed on future earnings by replacing the cola with a bonus.

ROTLFMAO!!!

There have only been 2 step increases, Oct '17 and spring '18. How can you say that something that's only happened once (the extra 2-3 percent) is what you'd normally get?

Here's some news for you, every employee is not under a step program, and many did not get an increase in earlier years when those that are currently included in the step program got one. If you were a manager you are fully aware of this. If you were a manager I would appreciate your responses in the future to deal with the complete truth. If you were a manager will you confirm what I said about raises in previous years?
The weeds can be cleared now, if you will not confirm what I said you either weren't in management or are a liar on this point. No other ground to claim.

Do you expect an April 2020 bonus, or will you be happy without one.

Where did the idea of a bonus in April come from. Pay actions have been in October for the last 3 or 4 years. They moved it to April and you still complain.

 

[Oldfart]

So you would be happy with a 3% bonus and not a 3% raise? Do the math buckwheat, a raise is a better deal.

If you knew what you were talking about you would understand why topped out got a bonus instead of a raise. Maybe you can get a 5th grader to explain it to you.

Everyone in DGO isn't covered by the 10 step plan? They sure are where I am. Maybe they just don't like you so they didn't invite you to their party.

Station handlers are not on the step plan. Ttku

First year was a bump. Ttku

Has anyone ever explained "topped out" to you?

I think we all know that not all FedEx Express employees are covered under the step program.

If you will not confirm [arbitrary demand], you're a liar. Liar.

How many handlers would be around for 10 years to see all 10 steps. Our handlers seldom take 2 surveys.

Since you clearly don't know, i'll' explain it to you. It means top of range not capped maximum pay.

 

[59 Dano]

First year was a bump.

The bump in 2016 was the raise that you earned over the previous year and were getting anyway. It was the final pay action of the old pay plan. Your pay was then rounded up to place you into the progression. It was done that way because it was the only way to get everyone into progression without cheating anyone out of his/her raise.

Ttku

Anything else you need to be brought up to speed on?

Oh, this is fun. Has anyone ever explained "top of range" to you?

Define capped maximum pay. Wasn't aware there was such an amount.

It was a bump thank you for admitting that.

Exactly. Ask your brother @59 Dano.

I got a 5.4% raise in April. What did you get? 1.5% bonus and another 1.5% bonus. My 5th grader just informed me that 5.4% > 3.0%. Bummer.

But you got a raise because you aren't topped out. He got a bonus because he is topped out. Once you reach top of range, i.e. topped out, anything extra you get is a bonus.

Sounds like I still make more than you so who is better off? Bummer

They simply could have continued the same as the past two years and most would of been content.

Wrong...

You're right, nobody 'promised' anyone anything. We were told we were going to use the 10-step pay scale. In April, we (well, I did) got a bump up from step 8 to step 9. I'm pretty sure you got a bump up in step also, yet it's still not good enough. Go find the original memo announcing the 10 step plan and show me where the steps would be adjusted yearly (COLA).
