[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 837049, member: 24302"] Think about it. Even a courier with a good driving record can suddenly get an occurrence. There's 3 years of reduced raises with the warning letter. And for that length of time it's possible to get another one. 3 years beyond that point. Some couriers can go 20+ years without so much as a ding. Most don't. FedEx can now reduce your raise and tell you that you only have yourself to blame. I'm in a rt where I probably will be ok. But many couriers are in heavy rts in busy urban areas. New couriers especially are trying to remember everything and are scrambling to make service. Very likely to get into accident. Doesn't take much to run up $1000 in damages so there's 5 years of reduced raises. And raises were already reduced this year from what they were before the financial crisis. You're looking at the smoke and mirrors of so many occurrences/accidents/moving violations in a given period. See past that. I hope when that day comes that when you lose focus for just a second while trying to make service, and strike something you didn't see while backing into a dock, that you realize that you just cost yourself several thousand dollars over the next 5 years. And if after 4 more years you get into another scrape you are going to extend it to a total of 9 years of reduced raises. With the potential of it happening again. So now if you do everything perfect you can get only 4.5% if you are mid-range. Have an occurrence, get the flu, clock in a minute late a couple of times, and it won't matter how dedicated you are, how hard you work, you are getting a small raise.
