Lurked the boards for awhile, decided to bring up a topic relative to my current situation and Im sure many others as well. I've been a swing for 3 years now, know probably 90% of our stations area and routes am, and pm. I was talking with SM the other day about 10 step and if Fedex plans on addressing the turnover rates of swings, especially external hires of them. Apparently the turnover rate is roughly 133% for swings off the street, which is crazy but I've seen it true the past 3 years. This year alone I've seen 7 come and go, 0 have stayed. 3 off the street have stayed in 3 years. SM told me they were discussing more incentives to bring people to swing positions from within. Peaked my curiosity on what they could come up with. An extra dollar or two more an hour would be a good start... 17.18 an hour currently after 5 years, starting to feel a tad undervalued...
