[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 2343215, member: 24302"] Actually they've had different payscales for different job categories all along. Single biggest mistake I ever made FedEx wise was getting frustrated and quitting in '97. Have paid for it ever since. So why would you want to encourage a newhire to quit when they've finally improved pay? Tough enough getting anything that pays these days. Yes, I know all about FedEx and the lies, etc. But when will you guys grasp that this new plan is in response to newhire turnover? If they cared at all about the rest of us they wouldn't make 10 year employees work another 10 to top out. It is what it is. I have more confidence in them sticking to this pay plan than all the scenarios y'all are coming up with because of one thing: it's a business decision that's in THEIR best interest to enact. Not because they're swell guys or whatever. Everything they do is in their own best interest. If they could run the company with contractors and get rid of employees they'd do it if it's in their best interest to do so. Who knows, maybe someday that'll happen. Isn't now, but because some are so filled with anger towards them for past sins you look for clues that'll confirm what you suspect. That's a lot of wasted energy in my book. [/QUOTE]
