[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 694691, member: 24302"] I've seen the "15 year top-out" used over at Fedexaminer also. How does one top-out in 15 years? Do the math, it's more like 25 to 30 years, assuming you get a raise every year. Granted the higher payscales start out with higher pay, which gives them larger raises since raises are based on percentages of your current pay. But I doubt it would be less than 20 years for them. I've seen plenty of newhires after their first year get smaller raises than topped out couriers, which puts them even further behind than when they started. And then there are tricks like offering a little more to be a swing, then taking almost twice away when you drop back to regular courier. Happened to me. If at 11 years I was going to make up the $4.10 an hr less that I'm paid in 4 years I'd deal with it. But I'm not, and they don't seem to have any intent to ever pay better. They appear to be waiting out the older topped out folk who will be eventually gone. At that point everyone will be strung along this long line of pay progression where top pay is something you achieve in your 50's. And with annual inflation you won't be much better off then than when you started. [/QUOTE]
