Our Senior Manager said 3% raise for everyone October 1

[Operational needs]

Not everyone is cut out for Ups,just like everyone is not cut out to operate a jackhammer for 8 hours a day.Ups is a much more physically demanding job .Not to mention hot truck with no ac

And not everyone is cut out for FedEx. It all depends on how much effort and sacrifice you’re willing to make.

 

[!Retired!]

Most FedEx couriers don't want the workload, they could handle it just the same. Every UPS driver I've come across is no super human. They've simply accepted the workload for the big check. Your issue is not with the IBT, it's with making $......

No, my issue is with the IBT. They're going broke. Look into it, you'll see. They cut pensions once already and now are asking the government for help. Happened to my dads union, it'll happen to them also.

 

[burrheadd]

They told us today at the morning meeting. It's 2% more than my wife will (not) get.

Most FedEx couries couldn't handle the workload.

My issue isn't with UPS, it's with the IBT.

what’s your issue with the IBT?

this should be good

 

[Elroy Shabazz]

They said the 10 step program will resume in October of 2022.

 

[59 Dano]

I hate to break it to you because I know it goes against everything you and all the Purple bleeders believe, but Fedex is not the be all and end all.

I hate to break it to you because you're a bit slow, but:

1) No one here believes FedEx is the be all, end all.
2) Someone on FB saying he's going to quit during a period of high unemployment means absolutely JACK. OK, he's going to quit... and do what for a living?

Dano, meet Oldfart.

 

[Cactus]

It’s called none of your business.

 

[Buhryein]

They said the 10 step program will resume in October of 2022.

Yeah they wouldn't say that. It's always "the step program will resume when/if able"

This way they can just say we wanted to but were not able to do so due to some financial constraints.

 

[AB831]

And do what?

Probably become a manager for FedEx since that’s the first rung up on the ladder of unskilled labor within the company.

 

[Aquaman]

Ya and when will they not have financial constraints? When will the future economy not be too uncertain? When is the economy ever “certain”? Going by PSP philosophy our raises should be at the top of the budget every year. They should come before hub expansions, new LEO scanners, Boeing 747’s, etc... The people are supposed to come first. If your companies growth comes at the expense of money you promised your employees then don’t grow. They’re terrified of the RLA exemption being currently attacked, the election has them nervous seeing how that could really tank things, COVID-19 unemployment has them nervous the extra volume is going to drop off.... and STILL step progression should be at the top of their list. Employees don’t trust this company anymore and if the RLA loophole gets closed this 2% crap is going to bite them.

If the RLA loophole closes, Fat Freddy is going to be jumping off of the tallest skyscraper in Memphis.

Your business plan comes straight from the Sears, JC Penny, Pier 1 handbook. We should have never bought our first DC 10, never opened the SuperHub, should still be using paper delivery records and should have been satisfied with 50k packages per day. Why expand and grow and modernize, we should just follow other failed companies example.

 

[Serf]

The people are supposed to come first.

Shareholders and CEO’s are people, sorta. And they come first now. Not employees.

 

[!Retired!]

what’s your issue with the IBT?

Posted right above yours.

No, my issue is with the IBT. They're going broke. Look into it, you'll see. They cut pensions once already and now are asking the government for help. Happened to my dads union, it'll happen to them also.

Or the Container Store.

"The Container Store has built our brand on the joyful conviction that our employees are our top priority, our most treasured asset. One of our Foundation Principles says that 1 Great Person = 3 Good People, in terms of business productivity."

Or even Chic-fil-A.

"The company believes that work should be full of life, that employees should be able to connect the dots between what they do and why it matters—which is why Chick-fil-A takes great care of its employees while offering a warm, familial workplace environment."

I don't believe either is suffering financially. Or is worried about unionization.

Because unlike FedEx, they view their employees as assets and not just liabilities they’re legally required to pay.

Chick fil a has less than 30k employees. The Container Store less than 10k. FedEx has over 400k. You are comparing Apples to Walnuts.

Does anyone besides the cleaning lady even talk to you at work anymore?

I realize facts scare people of your limited mental capabilities but thought someone might be able to do the math

 

[It will be fine]

Why would you believe press releases from corporations about how they treat employees?

“Our company was founded on a people-first philosophy, and respect for everyone has always been an everyday business practice. Our diverse workforce, supplier base and supporting culture all enable FedEx to better serve customers and compete in the global marketplace.”
