[QUOTE="El Morado Diablo, post: 1388707, member: 40760"] FedEx doesn't bother trying to do much to help retain people in these areas. It isn't unusual for couriers to live many miles from the stations because they can't afford to live in the cities where they work. The only thing I ever heard our DM talk about as far as helping those employees out was getting them gas cards when gas prices first started going over $3 a gallon. When asked about having higher market levels for these areas (ie, the price of doing business) he just shrugged his shoulders and said that's not how it works. They would rather ask for volunteers, use cartage agents, spend countless $$$ hiring, training and losing people than pay them a wage that actually retains people. The oil and gas producing communities are having the same problems retaining employees. It seems incredibly short-sighted when you consider the fact that most of these stations are on the small side so it isn't as though FedEx would be shelling out a lot more money on those locations.
