It’s not haz pay. It’s extra pay to keep them from quitting and going to Amazon up the street.

Hmm. That makes sense. What is it called officially?

Please don’t quit pay? Lol. I don’t know. They have to get the planes loaded and off the ground.

Sorta like a retention bonus. I think it’s set to end in early 2021 though, just after peak.

People are going to Amazon? Don’t they know how good they have it with Fat Freddy? Didn’t they get their Girl Scout cookies and FedEx Strong pin?

I still didn’t get a pin or GS cookies. Lol.

Fedex does this from time to time when needed especially close to peak. I know they did it in the Bay Area a few years ago when they were bleeding drivers right before peak.

Because of Covid or Memphians?

Memphians are way more dangerous. They should all get hazard pay.

My district had a 15% pay increase one year at peak because of the crazy turnover. I keep wishing they'd do something permanent with our payscale (not just the idea of continuing the steps, but putting my part of Colorado in a higher bracket) since it's so expensive to live here.

Memphis has one of the highest crime rates in the country.

They are doing that at a hub on the west coast. $3/hr more if they stay through the beginning of january. In fact some of our drivers have talked to some of the RT drivers in that area and they are also going to be getting the extra $3/hr through peak. Wonder if they will offer that to the couriers in that area also?

Sure they did,

Prove they didn't.

I might still have paystubs and I’d prove it to anyone else besides you.
