Unfortunately, I don't expect too much from FedEx with regards to compensation. I do wish that they would do some pay based on courier performance, however.

I believe that a 6% increase this October is not out of line if your on the step plan.
It's the ones that fall on the percent of range plan (Handlers, etc.) that will probably only get 3%. Since Handlers are no longer required to have a GED, you can see why.

Joe got a 5% raise but Ed got 5.8% and he's lazy, or so Joe says.
Jim got a higher raise than Bob because he consistently made his SPH over the course of the year. Bob is upset at that because he says that his goal is too high and Jim's is too low and it's not fair that he should be penalized for a goal that's too high.
Gus and Bert are about as equal as you can get when it comes to the quality of courier performance, but Bert got a higher raise because he often volunteers to come in on his day off, stay late, or come in early as needed. Gus points out that none of that should matter.
And on and on and on it goes. That's a big reason they stopped giving performance based raises a few years ago. Not worth the hassle.

Still just as "unfair" with the current system...
Everybody gets a 5% raise (or whatever the percent is in a particular year), even the
ty couriers. The company is encouraging mediocrity by giving everybody the same raise.BootsOnTarmac

A large percentage of the review was based upon available days worked vs. days not worked, as well as safety performance. Getting rid of how the Manager rated you personally would have been just fine. If the performance numbers were just that, performance numbers, the system of raises would be fine today. Also mostly eliminated are BZ's, Atta boy gifts, Thanksgiving turkeys!, the spring payout, etc.

That's how UPS does it. Everyone gets the same pay, whether they're lazy or not. I preferred the merit raises, but I don't get to make that decision.Still just as "unfair" with the current system...

True, but you can't argue favoritism, poor metrics, racism, sexism, ageism, or anything else.

It was inevitable.
Back when it was based on reviews topped out couriers got 7's because they were only getting a small percentage raise. Couriers who 8-10 years and not topped out were getting 5.8 or so and told that was a good raise even though the 15 yr topped out guy never unloaded cans, never volunteered for Saturday, and had a rt with a third of the freight and was off no later than 1630. If you have a system now that gives you around 6% a year be thankful and don't worry about the fairness. It's been a lot more unfair in the past.Still just as "unfair" with the current system...
