[Fragiledonthrow]

I'm Starting to get Sick of all the bs at express. overload of p1s signing papers for not making service, no fulltime wrk etc etc.. Lets Hear it.. How Bad can ground really be. LOL

You are kidding, right? I hope you like working for $11-$12 per hour, with no benefits. Express sucks, Ground sucks worse.

 

[TUT]

Whatever you do, don't apply at Time Warner Cable. They must really have issues:

Uh, no. The Ground scam is predicated upon low wages..always.

You're better off getting a job at Lowe's.

You don't make service at ground, you won't have a job plain & simple.

Blah blah blah

Official Ground response? Actually, even if an ISP were going to offer more money, it couldn't be very much, because that would destroy the low-wage formula. If Ground drivers were suddenly all making $17 per hour, contractors would be dropping like flies because Fred would never allow the Ground wage structure to go that high. Is this really that hard for you to understand? What would you and bbsam be making if your drivers made that much? you'd be out of business.

 

[bbsam]

Silly MFE. I do have drivers who make that much. But they are also the most productive drivers so it only makes sense.

Silly bbsam. Notice I said "all Ground drivers", not a handful.

Wow, $17hr and no benefits for your most productive drivers! I never realized what a good deal you are giving them.

Is it better or worse than a what MFE and others here portray?

It's still too low either way you slice it.

 

[Operational needs]

Do you guys ever get tired of the back and forth bickering?

Yes, but I'm down for the struggle.

Well that's easy. Don't apply at Ground and I won't hire you. All happy.
