[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5119411, member: 24302"] Not sure if you're misunderstanding. Talking about crap jobs that you leave to go to places like FedEx for better work and a better life. Truth is if you don't have training in a skill, or a degree in something that pays, then FedEx is one of the better jobs out there. But it definitely isn't what it once was. When I started out FedEx treated the courier position like you were skilled labor with a future. Now it seems they're only interested in using you at lowest pay possible with you either accepting that or seeking to find something better. I'm sure you remember when couriers had dress shirts with shoulder boards. About the time they took those away is when we started having the long march towards slow pay progression and stripped down benefits. They didn't want us to think of ourselves as someone who earned a measure of respect with ten year and twenty year shoulder boards. Couriers now are just bodies plugged into routes and much of a manager's time is spent bringing in new employees to replace those who quickly realize that the rewards of working for FedEx don't match the demands placed on employees.
