[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 677040, member: 12508"] You'd be very surprised if you knew how much education I have. I won't sell-out my ethics for a few extra bucks, so you get to put up with me here ripping Smith a new one as long as I have to work here. I don't want to have to become a professional liar (manager) and have to try and sleep at night knowing that I was willingly a part of Fred's plans. You might be interested to know that Fred's [I]real[/I] income this year is in the hundreds of millions....the figure you quote is what he'd like us to think he makes. Did you know, for example, that Smith had $26 million in his pension plan as of last year? And he's definitely highly skilled....at raking-in cash by skimming it off of us. The Smith who started FedEx isn't the same Smith who runs the company now. He looks at front-line employees very differently than he did back in the early days. We are nothing...less than zero. Semi-skilled or not, the fact remains that we are severely underpaid based on the revenue we generate for the company. Management? Sure, I can start out in the mid 60's or so depending on market level and forget about my wife and kids if I want to move-up. It takes them quite awhile to get to 100k by the way. And their retirement plan sucks too. How about our pilots? Nobody ever wants to talk about them, but I will. They were smart enough to beat Fred at his own game, and enjoy industry-leading compensation and a great retirement plan. They even got a bonus to sign their last contract. And how does poor old FedEx pay for this? By screwing us at every opportunity and taking what used to be [I]our [/I]retirement plan and shifting it over to the crews. You see, they figured out Fred a long time ago, and even after they tried to compromise with him by forming an in-house union, he kept right on playing games with them. So they called his bluff, joined ALPA, and lived happily ever after knowing that they had done the right thing for their future(s). Unfortunately, we're not smart enough to do the same thing. Fred S is a bum that would sell his mother if it netted him an extra penny in profit. He's neither a good man or an honest man, and I hope to high heaven that there is Karma, Hell, or some sort of cosmic payback for this piece of crap in the afterlife or whatever you'd prefer to call it.
