[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 989916, member: 22880"] I'm disappointed in you Mr. FedEx, you missed the big one... - pay progression to top-out was deliberately brought to a standstill. It went from 23 months, to 4 years, to 7 years, to 17 years, to 23+ years to "not ever" progression. There is NO PUBLISHED SCHEDULE for pay progression for the wage employees -they have NO WAY to predict when or if they'll ever top out. [I]They won't top out, that is now gone - Express just won't come out and admit it.[/I] Another one that affected me directly when I was in... Jump seating was taken away about 6 or so years ago. Employees can still jump seat if they are on official Express business (at least the last I heard), but for personal travel, it was taken away. It has been a steady "drip, drip, drip", concerning all of the take-aways. I was astonished back in 2009 at the absolute reticence of the wage workforce concerning the elimination of the traditional pension plan. Given the imminent take-away (elimination of 3rd day service), yet another "drip" will be added to the wage employees' losses. If all of these take-aways had been done at once, there would've been a riot. By doing it drip by drip, the majority just seem to get a little disgusted for awhile, then carry on. One has to hand it to Fred, he knows just how much to turn up the heat on the kettle, to keep the frog from getting ticked off enough to jump out. And if one can't see a pattern by now, they do have their head jammed in the sand.... I'm left wondering when the breaking point will be reached. With the loss of reliable OT for the full-timers, there is a very direct and PRESENT reduction in their standard of living. Trying to get an outside job for full-timers is next to impossible, and with the eventual shift of delivery of non-overnight volume to Ground in the next couple of years, trying to work 8 hours with a 3 hour split will make getting supplemental employment next to impossible for the full-timers (all part of the Express plan).
