Like I said. They needed a defined pay plan so people will know what they will be making at various stages of employment. Believe you kinda said the same thing.
Your numbers were adjusted because of political correctness and a learning curve.
Whatever you say boss. As long as my manager and SM is happy, that's all that matters.
Now that’s funny! Lol.
Yep. Most likely 100% spot on.
If you knew the manager who set my numbers you would realize how funny that is. He was a real by the book manager and NOT politically correct.
I worked in a supermarket for 4 years and saw how hard the chips guys worked. Maybe long hours but those aren't heavy boxes. And they work on a set route not getting ping ponged all over the place. New hires today are fortunate. They're fortunate that new hires were willing to walk away from the job so that the company was willing to give in and pay better.
And they were making $35K a year when the minimum wage was $4.75/hr.
Yup..
Wrong, I could care less what a UPS driver makes, they don't pay my bills. If I couldn't make a decent living at FedEx, I would have left a LONG time ago.
So, you agree they do more. So, we're not the same. I wouldn't trade my workload/pay for UPS's.
Your comment would appear to be an admission on your part that you're not as motivated or as ambitious as a brown grunt.
What does motivation and ambition have to do with your pay? Unless you have a desired skill, your options are limited as far as a delivery driver. Motivation and ambition are not gonna get you more money as a courier at Fedex or UPS. Unless being a swing or RTD driver constitutes ambition and motivation, you are gonna make what they want to pay you.
So you looked at their pay/workload and decided FedEx is for you? That's pretty much what I said.lol
You also said UPS pay scale resulted in our 10 step pay scale? Like I said, in most markets, UPS has always been a few steps ahead of our pay. Fedex decided after 43 years to implement the 10 step to keep up with UPS? Not hardly. It was designed to give employees a definite salary at each stage of their employment. No more guessing or mystery. If you are correct and UPS gives their drivers $41 and change on the last year of their contract, Fedex will have to redo their chart and start over on their 10 steps. Time will tell.
They had to implement a 10 step plan because people were leaving in droves. Our biggest competitors all have wage progression scales. Like I said everything they do is to retain new hires and mid-range employees. There's a reason FedEx highest markets are close in top out pay to UPS. You are just trying to argue semantics.
They needed a defined pay plan to keep turnover down. It's kinda weird but pay is almost directly related to turnover.
8th grade graduation gotcha’ all wound up?
Once again. I make as much or more than you. If you are so much smarter than me, you really underachieved. Bummer
