Express raises.

It's gotta suck knowing that fast food workers in major metro areas will be starting at $15/hr in the near future.

Damn depressing for people who actually work hard.

You ever work at Mickey D's? Both of my kids did and they both hated it.

What wage does a courier start at?

What wage does a courier start at?

Less than 15 in a lot of market levels.

 

[59 Dano]

How does one contact payroll?

Have an incident where you were erroneously overpaid. They'll call you.

Less than 15 in a lot of market levels.

I'm In market level B. Starting pay is 14.87. 10 year couriers still making less than a dollar more than new hires.

 

[fatalburt0]

I'm in a B market with 12 years under my belt and making $16.99HR

 

[fatalburt0]

It should be decent. 4th quarter earnings should be thru the roof because the drop in gas prices.

We have a courier that just started in December making about .25 less than you are. That's just a crime

B market, three more years than you and less than 15 cents an hour more than you.

And then there's the Market Level scam.

They'll post good gains and then blow smoke up your @$$ as to why you will never be topped out. "There is no top pay you have a chance to make more and more" lmao it'll take me another 20 years to get to where it is now

Don't forget the old standby "if we put you at top rate, you'll have nothing to look forward to next year." Gee, thanks! s.

Screw that, show me the money now....

Managers are told to respond with this tired old line. Official company-issued verbage. My own senior tried it a few years ago at a meeting and several us called him on it. Now, he still uses it, because to say anything else would risk his career.

They love B...sing

 

[Serf]

At my station.... Chic-fil-a, pizza, donuts, Capri suns, granola bars, etc. It worked for the SFA. People were bought like $2.00 whores. Lol.

LOL, it is so true. Bravo Zulu's were handed out like candy, especially to weaker links. All for a good score.

I have heard this too, they can kiss my behind.

Yep. Their corporate speak isn't keeping-up with the times. Word is that they parsed-out the 45-day/FMLA deal because the backlash was so strong in many areas. At our meeting, people were openly saying they wanted a union, right in front of management, which is very different from the norm, where people say it more privately.

This is one sad, pathetic organization, and they can't even provide a decent comeback any more to the obvious questions about compensation and working conditions.
