No announcement about pay actions????

[Golden package]

If memory serves me, usually by this time they've made an announcement about October pay actions. I'm getting a bad feeling that no news is not good. Does anybody have any solid information from the grapevine? Not just a bunch of crazy speculation.

2022 step increase | FedEx Discussions

With inflation 1 or 2 steps or none?? October is around the corner and have heard nothing. I swear this company reminds of those skanky start ups where sheister CEO’s pay themselves first and leave scraps for the rest doing the work… ex. 5 billion dollar share buyback authorized in Dec 2021 on...

It’s already being pounded to death in this thread.

Ground contractors are organizing so satisfying them will be first priority, than the pilots are organized, than couriers last.

They keep waiting for a market collapse or unemployment spike.
They are running out of time to blame anyone but upper management for poor decision making in a tight labor environment.
Watching the company decline in real time the last few years has been interesting.
A future autopsy will SCREAM wtf didn’t you guys just take care of your employees?
You had a great thing.
Why hold to the cheapest solution possible while still making extreme profits before your workforce and then all the customers found other paths.
It’s astonishing .

Work release programs, drug rehab centers, AA meetings, registered sex offender websites.

Just like Amazon FedEx ground is going to eventually run out of people to pay low wages to

The board doesn't even decide until September most years.

Not sure about that but I'll bet the hub and ramps are having a rough go now that middle schoolers are back at school.

I sure hope so. That’ll serve ‘em right.

Time machine?
The latest Ground talent I’ve seen either don’t speak a language Google can translate or they just grunt and motion with body parts and hair.
Future?
Past?
Idk.

Sure, the board probably doesn’t “vote” on it until September.
But that vote is just a formality of months and months (once a month so not as long as it sounds) of narrowing down language before the vote to make it look good.
59 and all on time is using semantics to make it look like they’ll sit down in September to hash this out when it was all but written in stone half a year prior.

I wonder who’s sitting at the table for the employees when the board meets?

The answer is no one. It will never change till we wise up and stand together. If you think I’m wrong, then why are you complaining about the pay?

 

[fedx]

FedEx is in a situation where if they don't give a raise and do another 2%, they will have a bunch more people walk and go elsewhere. The company already seriously hurt themselves after the 2020-21 2% "raise" BS. You can read comments online about how this station and that station is at 40% to 60% staffing. It will only get worse. FedEx is holding steadfast that they will not give raises and money isn't even the issue with their staffing shortage. It's all going to come back to haunt them when half their workers leave and nobody will even apply anymore (we're already at that point). Companies will stop using them because of not making service commitments and the company refusing to honor their money back guarantee. If FedEx is still around 3 years from now, I'll be surprised. If they are still around 5 years from now, I'll be shocked.

LOL. “He made a simple declarative statement. I’ll say he’s trying to use tricky language to say something else!”

 

[NC man]

In an article it listed the AIC of big dogs for 2022,they did not get full amount they could have gotten. With that and the 2 billion spending plan it will be surprising if a raise is given of any substance,if any at all.
