All these things are part of your compensation. Fedex compensates you for your work. Therefore they are not giving you these things for free. Everyone else on here understands this. Why don’t you?

Thats because the brown nosing shoe shine boy that is caring Fred's water, can't see that the TOTAL compensation package is what counts. Poor boy only sees what is in front of him, and does not plan for any sort of a future.
A pension is NOT "free" money as you put it, it is money that is earned from long term service to the company. A long termed employee has gained years of knowledge that younger employees are not aware of, they know how to treat a customer correctly. Without a pension Express would be no better than Ground, and those of us Express drivers know that we provide a higher standard of service that a Ground driver does. That is only one of the reasons an Express drivers COMPENSATION PACKAGE is better than that of a Ground driver.
Really free matching funds on my 401k??? No child, they do not match your 401k, they contribute a very SMALL portion smaller and lesser amount than most companies, but they do not match your 401k. Matching your 401k would be a dollar for a dollar.
Stay on your knees and keep sucking, that's what guys like you do best.

They do match up to a certain percentage... free money is free money, I wouldn't bank on the pension. If topped out employees can't get by by maxing out your 401k each year then you are doing something wrong. Put 50% in the 401k until you are maxxed for the year.

The only example of "free money" in the free world is the 401k match. I'm not knocking it. But when my pickle doesn't work, I'm wearing Velcro sneakers, I don't care. Eff it.

Sorry about your pickle... gramps and keep up the velcro sneakers, very comfy for the mall walkers. Have no idea what you are talking about.

All kidding aside, just skeptical about when everyone says the 401 is free money. As if asking yourself why it is the only example of "free money" in the world?

Yeah I'm guessing there's probably going to be a lot of people looking elsewhere for a job before peak.

There'll be a lot of mid-range employees as well. They've seen this game too many times and a lot of them are just sick of it and ready to go.

Yeah. The ones who only have the Portable Pension.

Especially with unemployment at 10-year lows. So much for that 10-step pay plan.
