Everyone’s work ethic is tied to their pay lol. Would you do your job for free? Would you work longer & harder for more money? FedEx isn’t MY company. I don’t reap the rewards of my hard work. If I work myself to death, I’m still getting paid my same wage. I don’t see a return on that investment. And like you said the company holds me accountable for nothing. No reward, no punishment… so ya. Am I supposed to take pride in delivering packages for a company that doesn’t care?

No, I wouldn't do the job at all. I'd find another job.
If you offer to double my pay if I can show that I deserve it, perhaps. But outside of an extreme example like that? No.
I figured you'd have an excuse. Looks like I was right! It's amazing the twisted logic a person will come up with to justify his shortcomings.

No idea what UPS paid but I made 10.52 an hour at McLean trucking in 1979.
Teamsters is screwing the new kids, from at least the 2010's .
Just my opinion and my paystubs against yours.

You did Mr. Clampett.
Haha how am I trying to justify shortcomings… if working harder gets me nothing extra? If I had the opportunity with express to work harder and get a bonus, or a performance review resulted in a bigger raise, then you’d have a point. I’m not justifying anything when hard work and lazy work results in the same check. We work at a company where doing more, doesn’t get you more. That’s not a justification. It’s a fact.

It relates to a dock worker I'd assume.
Teamster pay, same as yours as a lowly driver.
10.52 an hour at Mclean trucking for dock work, compaired to what you did...... package driver @ UPS?
I guess they saw your ability.
Don't act like you are what you aren't, union capitulation, that is why they started handlers or dock workers less than us 40 years later.

When did you start?
What were you paid hourly, day 1?
I understand it, the
ty wages the part-time kids are being paid makes your future pension possible. Maybe.
How long have you got to collect it?

Fact is either the company addresses that problem or they continue to have a problem attracting and retaining asses in seats
We (Fedex) do deliver packages, asses in the seats are currently required.
From what I hear, it's a problem.

, you wouldn't be getting the pension check you proudly boast of now.Your pusillanimous ass may have but your wife and children wouldn't have permitted it.
Go baptize yourself, wash away that last lie.
We both know you wouldn't have taken the paycut.

What was teamster wage when you started?
Dock, or driver as far as I knew were the same.
I may have been misinformed, set me straight.
I worked for McLean Trucking, Winston Salem Nc.

The point was what a joke the teamsters starting wages are in the 2010's even now with inflation
$8 inside rate. I honestly don't remember what it's starting driver wage was

Mid 80's? That's like 30 an hour in Biden bux
You could almost live on being a part-time worker
