It's big business at it's finest. No matter what a company gives you, no matter how much you make, you'll never be happy. I'm assuming you've been with the company a long time. Going under that assumption.........if you didn't like what FedEx gives you, what they pay you or how the company is run, you would have left a long time ago. Look at the UPS drivers making $25-30/hr and wish they get more. When the layoffs were coming around the business world, management took mandatory paycuts to save frontline workers. UPS cut frontline jobs and the drivers were on this forum wondering if their raises were correct while the drivers next to them were being laid off.
I go in everyday, do my job and go home. At the end of every day/week, I know I will be paying my mortgage, putting food on the table and putting a bit of cash in the bank. I also know I will be going into work tomorrow unless I do something to jeopardize my employment.
That's nice, but very few of you seem to see the necessity to band together in an effort to get some measure of bargaining power with FedEx. As it stands, you have none, and you seem resigned to the fact that it will never change. This is just the way Fred likes his employees....compliant, eager, and ignorant. Maybe you'll eventually figure it out. In the meantime, just do whatever they want, ask no questions, and then wonder why you have zero power as an employee and it takes 20 years to top-out. You're bent completely over...and you don't even know it.
