[QUOTE="hypocrisy, post: 915855, member: 9500"] One of my long time driver friends became an on-road because his previous p/t supervisory time would keep him from Feeders. He's making less than our average package driver ($80-$90k) which is supplemented by MIP that he is never happy about. If you are a young guy starting out it's probably tempting, but he's stuck in this position and just waiting til retirement. Center managers are around $125k as Menotyou said. Of course, some can play the game and manage to negotiate their own pay. Usually it's the firebrand manager who walks out and then is re-hired on his terms. I digress, but it's a huge myth that you'll hear repeated that "if you feel you cannot negotiate your own pay then a Union is for you". The huge Corporate scam is salary scales, in which certain levels are attributed to various job positions with a salary range. It's hilarious to me that non-union people accept this and turn vehemently anti-union. When I point out they may produce more than their coworker, and have more education and better experience, yet they are yoked with a salary scale and must rely on employer generosity in the form of a 'bonus' to make up the difference. It's only in the very upper echelons and some sales positions that actual salary negotiations in the true form often touted take place. [/QUOTE]
