[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1456048, member: 24302"] I've heard mgrs sell the idea of taking a 4X10 route by saying if you work a sixth day it's double time. Except they rarely pay double time and go to great lengths to avoid it. Same with topping out in 7 to 8 years. We all know better now but many a newhire is led to believe it'll happen. FedEx is very practiced at telling people all the wonderful things they'll get if they sign on, with no intention of ever coming through. Same with saying an opportunity exists to be an independent contractor. It's contracted labor, but it's not independent. At least not at the level of control they exercise. Sharp guys like you may do well in that system, but there are those who aren't prepared for the reality who are drawn in by clever promises with the only winner in that scenario being the company. More grist for the mill. [/QUOTE]
