[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 4594755, member: 24302"] If you had taken the time to read I quit in '97 to try my own little business. I was frustrated because we had gone over 4 years without a raise and when we finally got one it was 39 cents on the C pay scale. Took me from $13.11 to $13.50. The station was 95 miles away and on A pay scale. Found out courier who was domiciled where I was before me got the A pay but when he transferred they dropped pay to C. My mgr agreed the cost of living where I was at in Colorado was considerably higher than where the station was. He also told me I had better enjoy that raise, it'll be the last I'll see for a long time. I got angry and quit. I agree if I had hung in there I would have done ok. That's on me. I would have gotten 21 years on my pension at top out pay instead of 19 years on much lower pay. And I would have been able to save considerably more. I came back in good faith, was prepared to do the 7-8 years they said it would take to top out. So you are 100% right that I would have done much better on topped out pay. And I'm 100% correct in saying what the company told me and tens of thousands of others that we would get this and that if we hung in there wasn't true. Back in, when was it, 2016, when they came up with the new plan I was working with guys who had already put in ten plus years and were put on Step 2 of the plan. Can you imagine how frustrating it must be for them that they are only getting 2%, especially considering that after all those years of hard work they were seeing newhires come off the street at about a $1hr less? Y'all can attack all you want, but somewhere in your mind you must recognize that this company wants to get as much out of employees as possible for as little as they can get away with paying them. They aren't interested in providing a decent living for today's employees, no matter what they did long ago. [/QUOTE]
