[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1710648, member: 24302"] Begging your pardon but if your parents are retired now then they were earning good money back when incomes were rising, as well as real estate values. $1.5 million sounds right under those circumstances. Different playing field than today so try to not compare apples with oranges. A 7% annual return will double your money every 10 years before taxes. Since you defend the company so passionately let me ask did the company not want continuity from it's couriers? What's the point of offering benefits if they didn't want couriers to give 20+ years to the company? I made a mistake leaving in '97, but I came back and worked hard, was always very productive, and was told I would top out in 7 to 8 years. I worked in enough stations, hearing that 7 to 8 year mantra told to newhires, even in 2012 I was hearing that. Why don't you admit for once that we got played, lied to to keep us at it while they built Ground, taking our pensions away after letting us choose to stay in the traditional pension. And now that about everything is in place it's open season on topped out employees. The company wants higher profits, not higher paid couriers. And you're here to rag on them. Why not admit that you're a shill for a patently dishonest corporation? [/QUOTE]
