Wow, 20yrs to top out (maybe)........but don't worry, it's a ten year plan. Any newbie that thinks they're going to top out in ten years needs to look at what's being done to those who have already been here that long. It will be no different for them.

A market.
I'm still confused about this market consolidation and if we'll see an additional bump in pay.

I can live with that. I feel sorry for the poor guys I work with that are 10-11 year employees. They're eff'd.
hard to see. pretty blurry.
According to this market level H, 9M step 10 is $30.62 that is the current top of range.
So it looks like they are either capping top of range at current levels, or there is a step up to new top after step 10.

I can see that the first sentence reads "October 2015".
it says at the top that these are based on 2015 pay ranges. not 2016
I dropped from $16.96 to $15.82 going from A to B. If this chart is correct I won't even get my percentage of range back. Apparently there is no more percentage of range, just steps. And apparently they didn't keep any of the old payscales, but created new ones. Should've known better than to think they'd be generous.

Right. But there seems to be a general pattern of thought that this is a sea change...it isn't. What other company takes 10 "steps" to top-out? For that matter, what company takes 10 years to reach the highest wage? None. Zero.
The screwing has just taken a slightly different form. No real change overall.

yeah, it's hard to see. Sorry if I'm being a captain obvious, but when you click on it and it comes up in it's own window, just right click and "view image" and then left click on the image when it becomes the + sign.
This is pretty sad.. I know a guy that's been pretty happy about these raises happening.. I'm afraid he's going to be sorely mistaken.

Wow, that sounds fair. As I said earlier, this job deserves a base rate of about $21 per hour, which would need to be notched-up in areas with a high cost of living. You do the exact same job in rural Texas that the San Francisco courier does....no difference. The bottom line is that this type of work (high production, high stress, hard on the body) is worth much more than they are paying.
The tweaking of the market levels will cost them almost nothing in the larger scheme of things, and it perpetuates the basic inequity of the scam. Anyone who thinks FedEx has "seen the light" is delusional. Nothing has changed overall.
