[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 4857264, member: 24302"] And after that cost what they have in profit is going to dividends and reinvestment in the company in hopes of expanding those profits. They want to get rich and the employees are just pawns in that game. Unless you're willing to move into positions that they value more than the courier position, or leave for other work, or start and succeed at your own business, you'll always be behind the eight ball as a frontline employee. No one likes it, but it's reality. Some businesses bring in a lot of revenue and can afford to be generous to their employees to make sure they keep that revenue rolling in. Some businesses like FedEx are labor intensive, need a lot of employees to get the work done, have only so much revenue to spread around to the many employees, and are going to make sure their management class is going to be paid first. So move into management if you want more. I didn't like what was being done to me either and quit. Soon realized two things. That I didn't have skills that translated into better paying jobs. And the value of the traditional pension I just gave up. I came back, and ended up with a smaller pension and much less pay for almost 15 years work the second time around. Anger at the company didn't help me at all. Fine to not like what they're doing, but don't let anger screw yourself. But that was my situation.
