two pay raises this year??

[outtatime]

If it's no big deal, then why the song and dance? Why the barbecues and endless meetings? Please tell us Dano ?

Management always says to not use one or two instances when answering questions but instead go by everything overall throughout the year. But then they give out free food for the weeks preceding SFA to kind of cloud your memory. Always seemed to me like a cheap way to boost the scores.

Sorry but I'd rather not participate in management's game. It's a game of control and by not participating, I'm showing them they have no control.

Ummm, alright. THAT'LL SHOW 'EM!

I never said it was or wasn't a big deal.

 

[59 Dano]

Because when FedEx gets rated on the various lists of best places to work, that is one of the criteria used.

No it isn't.

 

[vantexan]

No it isn't.

Yes, it is.

 

[59 Dano]

When couriers refuse to take it in greater numbers the company knows it's authority is slipping away.

But of course!

Way back when we hopped to everything they asked of us because it was a job worth keeping. After more than a decade of bald faced lying we realized that anything they want from us is because it benefits them, not us, and if there's a possibility of losing the job, so what? They have no moral authority.

Is that why you keep coming back after you quit?

Absolutely true. But then those taking the SFA don't go by everything overall throughout the year, either, so everyone is even.

 

[59 Dano]

Yes, it is.

Say it a few more times, if that helps.

Fortune one year had lengthy profiles of it's 10 best companies to work for(of the total 100). They brought up the GFT process as well the empowerment of employees through surveys. Granted that was in the 90's, but why push for 100% involvement if no one cares but the company?

 

[vantexan]

But of course!

No, I missed this give and take with management idiots.

 

[vantexan]

I never said it was or wasn't a big deal.

Then why say we should just take it?

Ah, so you read something that mentioned surveys 15 or 20 years ago, so you assume that means that 100% participation means... whatever it was that you were saying.

Yes, marginalize the dissenters, narcissist!

 

[59 Dano]

I didn't. I'm asking why you don't send whatever message about your manager, the company, etc. that you want to send will count more if you actually make the effort to send it.

 

[59 Dano]

Yes, marginalize the dissenters, narcissist!

I'm marginalizing what you said, but if it all looks the same to you, then I guess it all looks the same to you.

 

[vantexan]

I didn't. I'm asking why you don't send whatever message about your manager, the company, etc. that you want to send will count more if you actually make the effort to send it.

Judging by FedEx's push for 100% I think my not participating is a tad bigger blip than my participating.

"Don't hold one bad decision against us" they plead. Yet if we get a letter, that's a bad decision they hold over us FOR A FREAKING YEAR.

I think the big question concerning this years pay raise will be how they treat those employees who's current pay falls between the two steps.

Another thing to keep in mind is that historically this company has always found a way to take back part of a raise, soon after giving it...for example, taking away shift differential pay shortly after a pay raise. One should not trust the company, or their mouth pieces...(59 Dano)

SFA comes up in propaganda they give us about articles about FedEx being one of the top 50-100 employers in Canada, year after year. It's not something that came up 10 or 20 years ago, at least not up here.

Very true.

Dano is just MT3's parrot.
