YOU SAID IT!
Dental Insurance -- currently subsidized 20/80 expect it to go 50/50 - same as Health Insurance response, and
how many people have dental coverage at their job?
Vision Insurance -- currently subsidized 20/80 expect it to go 50/50 - same as Dental Insurance response
Life Insurance -- currently subsidized 20/80 expect it to go 50/50 - isn't the minimum coverage free?
Long Term Care Insurance not subsidized - why should it be?
Tuition Reimbursement changed to make it worthless - mostly due to abuse by employees - FedEx pays thousands $$ for employees to get an education and they often immediately leave the company. Not a good investment. Any money given toward tuition is a savings to the student, not a right.
Pension Plan - no company match, and required because they started it - cry on the shoulder of all the working people in this country that have ZERO pension plans.
Jumpseat Privileges -- gone. Last I heard they were reinstated, but since I don't use it anymore, I could be behind. Expensive for the company, and gosh, I think the pilots aren't happy about the threat of hammer attacks from disgruntled employees. I used it many many times. Greatest flights I've ever had, bar none!
Reduced Airline Tickets -- honored by only certain airlines - so we have to invest some time finding what we want? Big deal.
Reduced Purchase Price at many corporations that offer them to FedEx employees -- worthless, often get better deals with sales - I utilize this very regularly - my budget thanks me.
Some personal advice to MrFedEx - Please start changing your tune about the company you work for. No sense being a disgruntled employee, life is toooooo short. If all of the above makes you so unhappy working at FedEx - please find yourself work elsewhere and see what, if any, benefits in today's economy would come your way.
I bet UPS is just waiting to jump at the chance to have you on their side. They are just waiting to give you all the benefits -
they do have that ceremonial chair just waiting for you to sit on!
So please, anyone out there at UPS that has the upper hand in hiring, take Mr. Troll (ooppss! MrFedEx) over to your side.
Thanks to all,
