[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1320695, member: 24302"] In the Middle Ages there were alchemists who believed they could, through trial and error, turn lead into gold. This is essentially what FedEx is trying to do with DRA. But the alchemists were never successful. If you want golden results, you have to start with gold to begin with. Early on FedEx attracted top notch workers who were willing to exchange hard work and high productivity for pay and benefits that reflected the effort. Take away the good pay and benefits and you get a lot of old timers who feel they are being cheated, and a lot of newhires who leave quickly because their ambition won't settle for less. What's left are people who are happy to have $15hr but aren't motivated to give any more than they are getting. DRA proposes to turn them into golden producers. You get what you pay for FedEx, and all your lies about some far off future with better pay is soon seen through by even the dimmest. No matter what FedEx does, they'll never get motivated $30hr employees out of $15hr employees with no future. $30hr brings a higher standard of worker back to the company and lights a fire under slackers who will lose their job otherwise.
