Hiring and Retaining Quality Employees
- Thread starter dex 84
- Start date
As they shift more volume to ground it will. Next will be an entire transition for ground to become express, stiff the contractors who have no recourse, establish a lower wage pool through ground that X will be glad to take back with little fight and all the glory.
Many disagree and I respect that. Just understand this will take some time.

Well If that is the plan then Fred's cashing in his chips and calling it quits. No way that comes close to working,but I respect your opinion
Fred's been cashing his chips the entire time he's been skirting the law. Now he will be protecting those chips, and still make a considerable amount of money with a transition and starve of any more damages.
I'm a contractor, I hope I'm wrong, but existing pressures and the preservation of his brand will prevail more than likely.
If I was the boss the plan would of been implemented years ago,, you know about the time they started preaching about their new cost saving measures at express...
It's hard to even conceive this, but I bet its not the first inconceivable thing X has done

They tried to tell us that, too. Problem is, the bus stop is directly in front of the station, literally a 75 foot walk to the gate!
Try giving them that same lame excuse when your short help, see how far that gets ya. What did they want some sympathy.?

Yeah, when he told me that I pointed at the bus stop in front of my building. Then he asked, Do you know how infrequently that bus runs? Nope. Don't know and don't care.
My station has been in this location for over 15 years. Why all the sudden is limited PT a problem? You mean it has nothing to do with forcing PTers to a T-S schedule? Or not giving handlers a raise two years ago. Or possibly cutting minimums for handlers? Or any other issue FedEx has come up with to screw us???

What raise? I was told no raise.
Apparently everyone else was told raises in October. Welcome to the world of mgmt misinformation.

No raise for you. The rest of us get raises.

Your attitude is very bad, and you're misleading all of these fine employees here about their industry leading wages and benefits. I prescribe a gallon of Kool-Aid per day, and a Costco hot dog. You'll be fine in a month or so.
You were told wrong. We're hurting for employees bad enough right now that I don't think they would risk playing any games with our pay.
The retirement wave is picking up steam and I expect there to be some trouble replacing the original group of career fedexers who are on the way out.

I'm very glad to be wrong. Are raises decided district to district?
Just so I understand, FedEx Express employees were notified that they would get raises in October?

You seem concerned-----does your wife need some more cosmetic surgery?

Yes, we are getting raises in October. Raises are company wide. How much you get will depend on the market level you're in, and the step level you at.

I just want to make friends!
The high rates of turnover for those jobs say otherwise.

Last year you were boasting that you spent $6K to buy her new boobs that her new boyfriend would get to play with.
