[QUOTE="FedEx2000, post: 549547, member: 13621"] Well, at least somebody got it. That was more of my point than trying to "attack" them, my fault though for poor choice of wording. Mr. FedEx--I'm not trying to spin the economy in any way, it's a fact that the economy sucks right now. I know some of the mgrs won't shut up about it, and people get sick of hearing about it, but unfortunately there are many employees that don't read the paper or have any idea what is really going on. It would be very naive of us to operate as if there is nothing wrong and let everyone get 10 hrs of OT a week, if any at all. You, and others, may feel that your raises have not been up to par, and that is fine. I was a courier for 7-8 yrs and felt that I was paid fairly. I never washed my truck on my day off or worked off the clock, I just enjoyed what I did. Again, why should FedEx have to pay the same, or about the same, as UPS? It has been pointed out in many threads that UPS is a more profitable company, so why shouldn't they pay more? It's all about the market, supply and demand. If people are willing to work for $13-$24/hr, why increase it? (From the company's perspective, not yours) Why should any company be expected/required to pay the same as a competitor? Their prices would be the same if all else was equal, and who loses? The customer. If all it takes to get your loyalty back is for Fred to buy it, well that pretty much shows where your motivation lies. I think you have more integrity than that. [/QUOTE]
