[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5885917, member: 24302"] That's great. However there are a lot of courier positions and a lot less of the ones you have. And a lot of us aren't interested in moving up the ladder. Yeah, I know, we would then have to be satisfied with what we get. The company made a lot of promises to keep us at it. Never expected them to give me UPS pay. But when after 10 years they started giving 2% raises to those of us in midrange while giving topped out couriers 3% raises on higher pay, watched any hope of ever catching top out sail away. 10,11,12 or more years with the company and not making much more than starting pay while top out was $6hr more and getting further away. There are plenty of reasons why people on here are very angry. All this was done so that they could build up Ground to make themselves richer. Couriers, CSA's too, were only to be used as a means to that end. Our future, important to us, didn't matter to them. This is an outfit that uses people. A far cry from the company I started with but hindsight being 20/20 I think all the benefits and better pay structure at that time was just to lure quality people in to build the brand. I'm glad it worked for you but please remember courier work is the foundation of this company. Taking care of the people who take care of you used to be a guiding principle. Now it's dog eat dog and if you don't like it go work at McDonald's. Pretty sad. [/QUOTE]
