[QUOTE="AB831, post: 4533325, member: 80184"] I think putting all the topped out drivers out to roost is Fat Freddy's game plan for Express. One of my managers didn't elaborate on the nature of coming changes except that we'd be shifting a lot of our residentials to Ground. What he did say was that the guys who are used to making 10 hours a day are "going to feel it". All of those step progression papers they had hanging up in the break room and checkout room are long in the trash. It seems that the plan is to make conditions so intolerable for topped out drivers that they willingly retire, only to be replaced by a 22 year old making peanuts. What about the mid-career drivers who are making $24 an hour and were planning on sticking it out until they were topped out? Welp. That day is never coming, so you can make your $24 an hour for the rest of your career or you can find another job and be replaced by a 22 year old making peanuts. Did anyone actually come out and say this yet? Of course not, but if you read between the lines, it really looks like that's where their heads are, and I don't know why people keep saying "it'll never happen to us" as if they somehow have immunity or recourse against the company's whims.
