[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 690282, member: 12508"] In other words, you really don't know how you're going to retire. And I fully realize that hourlies have always subsidized those above them. The difference is that at FedEx they simply robbed you of [I]your[/I] pension plan to do it. And you still think you're getting a good deal. "Hey guys, I'm retiring" and I'm going to live in my car down under the overpass. Thanks, Fred! There are a couple of reasons I never went into management. First, it is in total conflict with my ethics. I cannot be the total sell-out kind of liar that becoming a member of the management team requires. Second, I value my family enough not to subject them to me putting them in second place and selling my soul to Fred S. Third, when I started at FedEx in the early 80's, the company actually paid competitive wages,[I]except [/I]for frontline management. Hourlies usually far out-earned ops managers and sometimes even made more than seniors with a lot of OT. I'm neither stupid or lazy, and have a big enough bank account, home, cars, investments, and educational resume to prove-it. FedEx eventually "got" that the very high level of management turnover and dis-satisfaction required higher levels of compensation. It only took them about 20 years to figure-it out. [/QUOTE]
