That girl has blond hair? Can't get past the....

I didn't say a blonde couldn't look very nicely, would just look better to me with dark hair, generally dark hair coincides with a darker skin. Example, olive skin as opposed to pasty. Only personal preference. Actually the caboose is a little larger than I prefer, but the girl is hot. So Van, what do you think of the young lady? Good response, was fun, now answer the question.

My opinions about young ladies has gotten me grief here, not going there!

 

[Fred's Myth]

Republicans and Democrats are two sides of the same coin. Trump has proven that. You have Rinos like McCain that ran reelection commercials of him promising to end Obamacare as his top priority. Then when the vote came, he voted to keep it and killed the bill. He wasn't the only one. Several Republicans voted for repealing Obamacare when Obama was president, because they knew it would never pass. Then when Trump said he'll sign it, they voted against the same legislation. Total corrupt frauds in both parties. Trump has exposed just how corrupt DC really is. Same with Trump's wall. Republicans don't want it because they want illegal aliens flooding in our country just as much as the Democrats do. Republicans want cheap labor and Democrats want new permanent voters to keep Dems in office forever. Both parties are treasonous enemies to this country.

Now that the $1000 employee bonus has become the PR flavor of the month what might be holding X back from doing the same is the fear that contractor employees might demand the same from their contractor. Even if X were to add the money on to contractor settlements there's no guarantee they will pass it along to employees So X is in a pretty tough spot with this one but then again it's entirely their own making. Therefore the question is will X screw over the employee staffed operating units in an effort to maintain order at Ground? What do you guys think?

A good way to start the PR move is for Express to make a mid year step increase for those on the Step Plan. Still dreaming of rainbows and unicorns.

What a friend* joke. I could see FedEx doing something like this.

Isn't Home Depot the company where many employees got wealthy early on because they were given stock? Or was that Costco?

Many just got 7% or more raise just a few months ago. Some are still gonna complain.

 

[It will be fine]

All the bonuses are basically an advertising expense. Raises would represent a lasting commitment to workers, but these companies only want the headline.

So can I. Only Fred will give about half of what Home Depot is doing.

This mornings GDP numbers might not help your chances of getting a one time bonus. Q4-17 GDP was 2.6% annualized down from 3.2% for Q3-17. While durable goods orders were up 2.9% in December most of that was due to new aircraft orders, not a broad based increase. If the GDP numbers do not get above 3% the net revenue loss to the Treasury from the tax cuts could require increased government borrowing from private sector credit sources.Old Fat Freddy keeps his eye on the numbers and this mornings are not likely to increase your chances of getting a little extra money.

2) A voluntary contribution of $1.5 billion to the FedEx pension plan to ensure it remains one of the best funded retirement programs in the country.

3) Investing $1.5 billion to significantly expand the FedEx Express Indianapolis hub over the next seven years. The Memphis SuperHub will also be modernized and enlarged in a major program the details of which will be announced later this spring.

When I see it on my paycheck the dreams of rainbows and unicorns will end, for now, I hope.

It's actually $200 million in wage increases. Pension funding is done every year.

That works out to roughly the $1000 bonus other companies are giving but unlike them giving it all at once so that you can spend it as you like, FedEx makes you earn it little by little. Better than nothing but typical FedEx mentality.

Used to have a traditional pension, but replaced it with a cash balance plan in 2008 that pays considerably less than the traditional.
