So it is safe to say only a select few did very well in this years raise...
Sounds familiar.So it is safe to say only a select few did very well in this years raise...
It's safe to say that Fedex used the old smoke and mirrors on us all over again. Those CRRs should have gotten an additional 3.4%, but the company LIED when it told them they would be seeing a market level change.So it is safe to say only a select few did very well in this years raise...
A market level change show's up on a pay check, not just a number on a chart.
It's up to us on this board to raise hell about it any way possible. Send your manager and senior an email, when your district manager shows up at your station, bring it up at a question and lie session, make the uppers talk about it...they won't have a good answer for the group!

? It's a dis
You are 100% right..the difference between market B and market A is about 7%...if you didn't receive at least a 7% raise then fedex failed to give an adequate market level increase..friend the purple promise

7.5%, went from B to Base.

I just want to make friends!
The margin on the Ground service, coupled with only a minor amount of liability/risk (compared to Express), makes it worth it.

And in the end, all you've done is send labor costs through the roof.
In the end you give people a decent wage and some benefits so that they can take care of their families and have a future.

In the end you have a system that's as efficient as UPS's and with labor costs lower than UPS.

A and B market are now Base, the E level is now base +1
Combining the 3 markets would have actually taken money from the E market employees
It would be fun to meet you in a dark alley
Glad to see it, at least one group "topped out RTD's" got the raise they deserved AND earned.

Just telling it like it is
You really need to have your medication adjusted.
We've been through this before. The indisputable fact is that Fred and his minions would rather have an inefficient system than a productive but union represented labor force. Stop and take a look at it. The entire network operates behind an anti union firewall with productivity and efficiency second to the preservation of that firewall. With hedge funds, private investors and pension plans unhappy about the disconnect between Ground and Express the only way to hold up the stock price is through costly buybacks and continued mauling of the operating units in an effort to achieve maximum EPS.

Exactly. The market level scam has just been altered enough to make it seem like they actually did something about pay inequity.
They didn't.

Boo Hoo. Labor costs!! Labor costs!! You're a sorry apologist because you trumpet the same FedEx line they've been spewing for years...that we have "excessive" labor costs and that labor costs are a huge part of our business.
Guess what? Labor costs at FedEx are low, and when they spin the lie that the portion of labor costs out of the whole expenditure pie are excessive, it's a whopper. The delivery business is labor intensive, plain and simple. Until Smith invents a CourierBot or drone system, the overall percentage isn't going to change.
Labor costs? LOFL, you liar. No pension, a high employee payout for crap benefits, and low wages with glacial top-out times. Yeah, our costs are "high". B effing S.
