[QUOTE="Aquaman, post: 4853252, member: 68552"] Exactly. Management is under the impression that pay is pretty good. Maybe starting pay is decent, but like you said, it doesn’t take long for those new hires to realize top out isn’t gonna happen. And when you do the same job as someone making $8-$10 more per hour than you, you’re gonna want top pay before long. They look at the pay and think it’s competitive. But they completely overlook the 10-20 year employees in the middle of pay progression. And there are [B]A LOT [/B]of us. And we are the most vocal. Is $22/hr competitive after 13 years? What about $25/hr after 19 years. No... it’s not competitive at all at that point. And those new hires talk to those drivers... they hear the complaints. They listen when they talk about being stuck. Top out drivers say nothing to new hires because they know their situation isn’t attainable anymore. They’ve built a culture of angry mid range employees, that purposefully sabotage hiring. I know I’ve told multiple new RTD’s to get their CDL’s and go. Don’t wait until you get your 4th week of vacation. Get out now. And guess what... they’ve all left and gone to better paying jobs. They’ve done this to themselves. The old topped out guys are retiring. And “response” is gonna speed it up. And what they’re going to have is an angry mid range mob and new hires that are actively looking for better jobs. That’s Express. [/QUOTE]
