[QUOTE="Artee, post: 1428217, member: 24351"] Up until a couple months ago I would tend to agree with you. From what I have heard lately retention is becoming tougher. Two local stations going on a sick out after Thanksgiving. Two more getting a 15% pay increase through peak, to keep drivers from bailing at the busiest time of year. Handler group coming to a manager I know and letting him know they are about to all walk off the job. He asked them to stay, but told them they have to do what they have to do. So now 2 handlers left at a large station. All managers including the senior are out working the reloads. Just hired 10 people off the street to be handlers. How many will stay after peak? Ramp won't let people transfer. They cannot get people in fast enough to replace the ones that want to leave. Didn't a couple of you Ground contractors have drivers leave for Express courier jobs? Didn't you say a few thought they made a mistake by going to Express and one came back to drive for ground? They found the grass isn't greener and its not much of a better job? [/QUOTE]
